About this episode

Matt Brown discusses the importance of men confronting their pain and taking responsibility for their healing journey.

True strength and responsibility as a man doesn't come in any pre-conceived definition of masculinity, but in the courage to confront your own unprocessed pain That's according to Matt Brown—author, barber, and founder of the global movement She Is Not Your Rehab. Drawing from his own experience of leaving a childhood home at just 15 years old, Matt has become a leading voice in the movement to end generational trauma. In this conversation, Luke and Matt dive deep into why men must take radical responsibility for their own healing, why places like barbershops can be key to unlocking male vulnerability, how to ensure the next generation doesn't carry burdens that aren't theirs to bear, along with practical steps for men to begin their own healing journey today - including how reading and writing can be the most powerful tools.
