The world feels heavy right now. The news is relentless. Personal challenges stack up. And for many men, the easiest way to cope is to shut down and go numb.

In this episode of Here Comes Sunshine, let's talk about emotional numbness, why it happens, and how it quietly disconnects us from joy, desire, and meaningful connection. This is a gentle, grounding conversation for men who feel worn down, overstimulated, or disconnected from themselves and others.

You will hear practical, doable steps to help you begin feeling again without pressure or overwhelm, along with a Deep Thoughts with Sarah segment that reminds you that numbness is not failure, it is protection.

If you have been surviving instead of living, this episode is an invitation back into your body, your heart, and your humanity.

You are not broken. You are not alone. And even on heavy days, here comes sunshine.
