Welcome to our vlog! In this episode, we dive deep into the value of vulnerability for intimacy in relationships. Inspired by a recent conversation on toxic masculinity, we explore how societal conditioning can hinder our ability to be vulnerable, especially for men. We share our personal experiences and reflect on the impact of suppressing emotions.

Join us as Angus recounts a poignant incident from his past that challenged his perception of vulnerability. Discover how a powerful moment of vulnerability and the subsequent compassionate response of others changed his perspective. We unpack the concept of toxic masculinity and its influence on our emotional expression within relationships.

Through our discussion, we reveal the transformative shift that occurred in our relationship. We explore how embracing vulnerability allowed us to break free from the harmful coping mechanisms and judgments that hindered our connection. Find out how simply being present and feeling our emotions opened the door to compassion and authentic expression.
