Undoing Generational Trauma and Embracing Self-Compassion with Quentin Finney

In this episode of Modern Masculinity, Hector Santiesteban and Quentin Finney delve into the power of male friendship and the significance of engaging in open conversations about challenging topics, including death. They draw inspiration from a long-standing group of men who have been meeting for 25 years to explore such subjects, and consider forming a similar group with their own friends. They also address the pressure on men to always have the answers, which can hinder personal growth and learning. They highlight the importance of being willing to admit when one is wrong and apologize, even if it goes against societal expectations of masculinity. Finney acknowledges that men often find it difficult to ask for help due to fears of judgment or emasculation, but he emphasizes that learning how to seek support is crucial for personal development.
