Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, Director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom Podcast.

Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions.

Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken.

But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name.

In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others.

Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved.

Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion.

If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

When you look at your car, you're gonna become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

It's about engineering consciousness.

They never did have a plan.

And they don't know what they're going to do at retirement.

This idea, the Trump account,

solves that problem, or a good part of it, because you're basically making an investment not just in an individual that's born, in their family.

The burden of a family to educate or help a child launch

can be really difficult, particularly if you have a large one.

Think about this.
