Welcome to Episode 304 of The Joe Martino Show. Today, we will continue a topic that doesn’t get enough attention—men grieving. Grief is hard enough, but for men, it’s often complicated by cultural expectations and personal struggles.

People are hurting, but instead of listening, we often get caught in cognitive distortions—filtering reality through our pain and assumptions. Some folks even get mad that this podcast isn’t just their perspective on the world. That’s not how growth works. We need honest, messy conversations to navigate life, and that’s what we’re doing today. Let’s talk about it.
