Many men grow up feeling othered—whether due to cultural differences, personal identity, or societal expectations. This sense of disconnection can shape their emotional landscape, leading to shame, isolation, and a struggle to express their true selves. But what if those experiences could be transformed into a source of clarity, strength, and purpose?

In this episode of The Circle, we sit down with Alex Lehmann, Men’s Leadership Coach and host of The Heart of Man podcast, to explore the power of emotional literacy in reclaiming belonging and authenticity.

Through raw and insightful conversation, we uncover:

• Why so many men feel othered and how it impacts their self-identity
• How emotional suppression reinforces shame and disconnection
• The process of Emotional Alchemy—turning pain into power
• The role of vulnerability in building deeper relationships and true belonging
• Practical strategies for fostering emotional awareness and creating community

Join us as we challenge the narratives that keep men disconnected and explore how emotional depth can transform isolation into empowerment.
