معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In this quick episode from A4M, Sean sits down with Dr. Sarah Gottfried and Brad Jacobs for a real conversation on modern masculinity, stress, and why so many high-achievers struggle with regulation—especially in relationships.
They break down how childhood experiences can shape adult behavior (and even long-term health), why “strength” without emotional skill can backfire, and what it actually looks like to build a calm, grounded version of masculinity that’s protective and emotionally aware. They also talk physiology—testosterone, cortisol, HRV, sleep—and how to track the right markers so you’re not guessing.
If you’re trying to perform at a high level without burning out your nervous system, this one’s a practical reset.
