Author: Hearts Wide Open February 27, 2024 Duration: 41:45

Grab a pen and paper and join us on this episode, where we dive into the power of journaling.

We begin the episode with some general chit chat between men, exchanging ideas and thought and our reflections on how the journey has been for Hearts Wide Open:

From starting our first podcast 6 months ago, to regularly releasing better and better episodes for a growing audience of men who want to embrace themselves and live more authentically.

Halfway into it, we invite you to join us on the creative writing exercise that helps us visit our younger selves through creative storytelling. If you don't have a pen and paper, feel free to use a note on your phone. Feel free to share your story with us via voice message (see below) or in text.


Want to join our online men's circle? You can put yourself on the waiting list by getting in touch with us (see below). We're launching soon!

Two friends started talking honestly about the weight they were carrying, and that simple, difficult act became Mental Health And Men's Health With Hearts Wide Open. This podcast is built on the idea that speaking your truth, especially about internal struggles, shouldn't be a radical act for men, yet it often is. Each episode moves beyond the stigmas to foster genuine conversation. You’ll hear from the hosts of Hearts Wide Open as they navigate their own journeys, creating a relatable and safe space that feels more like a candid talk with friends than a formal lecture. That atmosphere extends to their guests, which include both everyday men sharing personal stories and experts from psychology and spirituality who provide practical insights. The discussions are raw and real, covering the silent pressures, the unspoken rules of masculinity, and the quiet victories of personal growth. Tuning into this podcast means joining a community where vulnerability is reframed as a profound strength, and where listening feels like a step toward lifting a shared burden. It’s for anyone tired of pretending everything is fine and curious about the liberation that comes with hearts, indeed, wide open.
