In Mind Over Masculinity, hosted by Sayan, this episode with Rose Leopold explores the quiet weight many men carry but rarely name.

This conversation is for anyone who feels disconnected from themselves or struggles to express what’s inside. You’ll discover how emotional awareness, presence, and simple practices like breathwork and meditation can help you reconnect—not as weakness, but as grounded power and clarity.
