What happens when a man gets everything he thought he wanted… and still feels unfulfilled? Why are so many high-achieving men quietly struggling in midlife despite career success, marriage, fatherhood, and financial stability? And why are we talking so much about burnout in women, but almost never in men? In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Greg Scheinman, author of The Midlife Male and host of The Midlife Male Podcast, to unpack the hidden mental, emotional, and identity shifts happening in men during their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Together, they explore the psychology of male burnout, why external success doesn't always create internal alignment, and the biggest mistakes men make in midlife when trying to "push through" instead of recalibrating. If you're a man navigating stress, purpose, aging, fatherhood, identity, relationships, or mental health, this conversation will completely change the way you understand midlife.
