The “Man-Up” Mindset: How Toxic Masculinity Fucks Up Men’s Emotional Well-Being, w/ Luciano

Content Warning: Su*cidal Ideation, Substance Abuse, Violence/Assault

With his larger-than-life personality, Luciano has amassed over 120k+ followers on TikTok and Instagram from speaking about his experiences with BPD. But what really sets him apart is his unique way of coping with his BPD: by making creative videos that showcase his goofy side, and bring levity to our struggles. If you've ever come across his page, you'll recognize him immediately by his infectious smile.

In this episode, we got to chat about an issue that is often overlooked - how toxic masculinity affects men's emotional well-being. The attitude that showing any emotion is a sign of weakness and character is not a sustainable one. It robs us of our humanity, and it stops men from feeling safe in asking those around them for help.

Luciano is here to show you that there is strength in vulnerability.
