In this episode of the Restorative Man Podcast, Jesse French and Chris Bruno discuss the detrimental effects of men shutting down or melting down in response to life's challenges. They explore the importance of presence, sharing personal stories and the impact of men's actions on their families and themselves. The conversation emphasizes the need for men to modulate their responses to avoid both extremes, aiming for a balanced presence that brings warmth and light rather than cold and darkness.
