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. Too many guys hear “Man up” instead of “How are you holding up?” When called out, one wife responded to say that those calling her out were wrong. Let’s be honest: our world is messy. 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.
