In Mind Over Masculinity, host Sana sits down with leadership coach Simon Copsey to unpack a surprising question: why do parenting and management feel so similar, and why does that comparison trigger people?
This episode is for parents, managers, and anyone leading under pressure who wants to replace control with better conditions. You will learn how expectations shape behavior, why motivation cannot be forced, and how emotional regulation helps you respond with clarity instead of reacting on impulse.
