Welcome to the conversation. This is The Men’s Mental Health Series, hosted by Daryl Perry. The goal of this podcast is to help get conversations started around men’s mental and emotional health, both with others and within yourself.
In this episode, we talk about being careful where you get your relationship advice from, especially online. Social media often removes context, rewards extreme opinions, and pushes absolute statements that do not reflect real relationships. When advice lacks nuance, it can quietly shape how you view your partner, your friends, your family, and even yourself. This episode explores why context matters, why one size fits all advice can be damaging, and how constantly consuming extreme relationship content can pull you further away from your own emotional awareness.
This is a reminder that you are not alone in what you feel, that strength and vulnerability are not opposites, and that you already have much of what you need inside you to navigate your relationships. The goal is not to point fingers or assign blame, but to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your own experience before letting outside voices define it for you.
