Ever wondered what a man mourns when the world tells him he’s not allowed to?We rarely talk about men when we talk about mental health. From childhood, boys are raised to “Be strong,” “Wag umiyak,” and “Kaya mo ’yan”. Kaya pag lumaki na sila, they don’t know how to ask for help, because the world expects them to survive everything in silence. In this episode, we dive into that hidden emotional world: what happens after divorce, and how impossible expectations quietly push men past their limits. We unpack burnout, support systems, and the many forms of abuse such as emotional, verbal, at pati yung subtle na pag-take advantage sa oras and generosity. This is a confronting look at what men carry … and why this silence is costing lives.And our guest, Robert Rubin, opens up about his own journey, from post-divorce depression to losing his support system, to painfully rebuilding himself piece by piece. A tarot professional, author, intuitive mentor, and host of The Gentleman Warrior Podcast, Robert brings wisdom shaped by trauma, healing, and lived experience. His perspective is raw, honest, and deeply human, the kind of voice men rarely get to hear… and rarely get to claim space for.Tune in now if we want healthier men, families, and relationships. Conversations like this can’t be optional anymore.
