In this episode of Men: A Work In Progress, Mike and Kyler unpack one of the most common—and misunderstood—emotions: anxiety.
Inspired by Inside Out 2, they explore how anxiety shows up as that inner voice always scanning for what could go wrong, trying to protect us from failure, judgment, or disappointment. But when that voice gets too loud, it can hold us back from the very things we want most.
Through honest conversation and personal stories, Mike and Kyler talk about:
The difference between fear and anxiety
How men are conditioned to mask anxiety with control, avoidance, or overachievement
Practical tools for recognizing, managing, and even partnering with anxiety
This episode is a reminder that anxiety isn’t a weakness—it’s a signal. The work is learning how to hear it, not be ruled by it.
