Welcome to the first ever episode of Thoughts of a bearded man. This podcast has been a long time in the making. In this episode I share my thoughts that were provoked by an image and quote I saw on Facebook. This quote states that men take care of what they love. While this is a very true and admirable quality of true masculinity, for me it threw into sharp relief that as men we do not take care of ourselves, mostly because we have not been equipped to recognise, process and use our emotions in a positive way. Many men have been brought up with the old adage of “big boys don’t cry” and in later years, any attempt to open up to other men is met with cries of “you just need to man up”. This podcast is intended to equip, empower and embolden men to embrace every aspect and essence of their masculinity. I hope you enjoy the episode and will join on me on this journey as I finally launch my podcast.
