Imposter Syndrome in High-Performing Men
Visit: menstherapy.online/start Why do so many men who look like they have it all together secretly feel like they're about to be found out? Imposter syndrome in men rarely looks like self-doubt from the outside. More often it looks like a packed calendar, a growing résumé, and a constant sense that none of it counts. In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Mark Azoulay talks with Kealy Spring, a Bay Area therapist who specializes in working with high achievers. Kealy has felt imposter syndrome herself, which is a big part of why she works with this population today. Together they…

On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay talks with psychotherapist Brian Keating, who specializes in Minecraft therapy and works with children, young adults, and families.

Most Men Stay Boys Their Entire Lives

Relationship and dating coach Shana James (author of Honest Sex) and psychotherapist Jack Lambert, who works predominantly with gay and queer men, to talk through exactly that fear.

The Comfort Trap That's Making You Weak
Walk into a CrossFit box at 6 a.m. and you'll see men doing more than chasing a workout PR. According to men's coach and ex-pastor Jason Lyle, they're doing therapy without calling it that. On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Jason, who spent ten years owning a CrossFit gym and now runs Sacred Grit, a men's coaching practice built around retreats, nervous system work, and one very cold morning ritual.

Why Doing Everything Right Still Leaves Men Lost
Every time a testosterone clinic pops up along the highway, third-generation chiropractor Dr. Kyle Hulsebus gets the same question from patients: "Doc, is it low testosterone?" After years of testing men from their 20s to their 80s, his answer is almost always no. On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Kyle to unpack why testosterone myths have become the default explanation for a much deeper problem: the existential crisis that quietly hits men around 40, when the life they built no longer feels like a fit.

Your Anger Isn't the Problem. What You Do Next Is
There's a pattern Coach Kevin Voisin keeps running into with his highest-performing clients: guys who can build a hundred-million-dollar business without blinking, then go home and have no idea how to navigate a conversation with their wife. The gap between those two skill sets, he says, comes down to the male ego, the same mental tool that sharpens ambition and decision-making early in life, but which, left unexamined, quietly hardens into a kind of prison most successful men don't even know they're living inside. On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with…

The $18 Billion Trap Your Son is Already In
In 2025, Americans legally wagered more than $165 billion on sports, money moving through an industry that, outside of Nevada, didn't legally exist until 2018. Somewhere inside that number is a much harder one to see: how much of it isn't entertainment at all, but sports betting addiction quietly working its way through a generation of men who never thought they had a gambling problem. That's where this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast begins. Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Michael Zhang. He is a psychologist who spent years treating gambling-related harm clinically before founding…

Why So Many Men Are Struggling Right Now
The numbers are hard to sit with. In the most recent year for which data were available, 53% of men who died in the United States did so before the age of 75. Not in a developing country. Not a century ago. Right now, in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, the majority of men are dying before they should. And a significant portion of those deaths are preventable. That is where this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast begins. Marc Azoulay sits down with Peter Fisher and Brian P. Heilman. They are researchers and co-authors of Movember's landmark report, The Real Face of Men's Health . It…

8 Men Ask a Men's Therapist Their Deepest Questions
Something is off for Gen Z men right now. It can look like confidence on the surface, online presence, gym routines, and a few matches on the apps.

The Truth About Male Anger No One Talks About
Anger . Rage. Aggression. Modern psychology has spent decades telling men these are problems to fix. That is exactly where this conversation pushes back. In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with Mike LeBlanc. He is a Marine veteran, Harvard graduate, founder of a humanoid robotics company, and author of What If Anger Is the Answer.

Stop Being the Nice Guy Do This Instead
Masculine energy in relationships is something most men have never been properly taught. They’ve been handed two versions, one that’s domineering and one that’s completely hollowed out. Neither works. The first drives his partner away. The second bores her. What actually works is something most men have never been taught: how to embody masculine energy in a way that is grounded, leading, and genuinely connective. That's what this episode is about. In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay talks with GS Youngblood , men's coach, relationship expert, and author of The…

Why Couples Slowly Stop Loving Each Other
Most men don't struggle in relationships because they don't care. They struggle because nobody ever taught them how relationships actually work, at a neurological, psychological, and structural level. And by the time most couples realize something is badly wrong, the damage’s been quietly building for years. In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Stan Tatkin , clinical psychologist, researcher, developer of the psychobiological approach to couple's therapy (PACT), and author of the bestselling book Wired for Love — for a frank, science-backed…

Why So Many Men Feel Completely Alone (Even in Relationships)
The male loneliness epidemic is not just a trending phrase. It’s a quiet crisis playing out in the lives of millions of men, showing up in emergency rooms, in divorce statistics, and in therapy offices where men are finally starting to talk about what they’ve long kept buried. That’s exactly where this conversation begins. In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with returning guest Dr. Ryan McKelley , a research psychologist and expert in masculinity and men’s mental health, to unpack why so many men are experiencing deep social isolation, and what that…

The "Nice Guy" Paradox: Why Comfort is Killing Your Hormones
Modern masculinity has a missing piece, and most men feel it without being able to name it. They pay the bills, hold down big jobs, do everything they’re supposed to do as adults. But when they look in the mirror, they don’t see a man. They see a boy in a man’s costume. In this solo episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast , host and therapist Marc Azoulay is making the case that what most men are missing is initiation . For hundreds of thousands of years, cultures marked the transition from boyhood to manhood through structured trials led by older men. That tradition stopped about 50 years ago,…

The Dark Side of "Work Hard, Play Hard"
Addiction is one of the most misunderstood forces in men's lives. It doesn’t always look like rock bottom. It can look like a high-functioning executive who has a spotless professional record. It can look like the life of the party who stays for the after-party when everyone else goes home. It can look like a college student pulling straight A's while quietly unraveling in private. That’s exactly what this conversation is about. In this April Roundtable episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay , himself in recovery from polysubstance use, sits down with three therapists who…

Why You Feel "Dead" Inside (It's Not Depression)
Emotional numbness does not always look like a crisis. For many men, it is quieter, a steady flatness, a sense of static that will not lift no matter how much they push. In this solo episode of the Men's Therapy Online Podcast, Marc Azoulay , therapist, coach, and founder of Men's Therapy Online , is breaking down one of the most common yet least understood struggles facing modern men: the feeling of being emotionally switched off.
