A note from Healthy Mind by Avik™:

This conversation includes the guest’s personal views on health, therapy, and relationships between men and women. They are her opinions alone and are not shared as medical or professional guidance. If you are living with depression, anxiety, or a long-term health condition, please keep working with a qualified professional and do not stop any treatment or medication on the strength of a podcast. Mental health is a necessity, and support in every form, including therapy, has a place in healing.Many men grow up believing strength means never struggling out loud. If you have been carrying a lot quietly and wondering whether anyone notices, this conversation is for you.

On Mind Over Masculinity, host Sayan talks with Josie Warren about men’s mental health, what she calls the silent strength of a good man, and the shift from feeling life happens to you toward choosing your response.

About the Guest:

Josie Warren has a background in psychology and now teaches 13-week online self-guided educational programs. She shares her work on her YouTube channel, The Autoimmune Expert.

Key Takeaways:

  • Josie sees true masculinity as quiet, heart-led strength: showing up, not showing off.
  • Not saying much is not the same as not feeling much.
  • You cannot control the world around you, but you can choose your response. Josie calls this an internal locus of control.
  • Make time for yourself again, including movement.
  • Return to a hobby you left behind to refill your emotional tank.
