When was the last time someone asked you what YOU need?

Not what your family needs. Not what your company needs. What do YOU need?

If that question feels strange, like it doesn't even apply to you, you're not alone.

You've been taught that being a man means being the provider. The one who shows up. The one who handles it. The one who makes sure everyone else is taken care of, no matter what it costs you.

And now you're exhausted. Running on empty. Giving and giving and giving, and nobody's asking if you have anything left.

In this episode, we're talking about what happens when being the one everyone leans on means you have no one to lean on yourself. We'll explore the four hidden costs of constant providing, the three beliefs that keep you trapped in the paradox, and the practical steps to break free without abandoning your responsibilities.

This isn't about stopping being a provider. It's about learning to provide for others without losing yourself in the process.

If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world and nobody notices, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn:

• Why being good at providing makes you more isolated, not less
• The four ways of constant providing cost you (health, identity, connection, self)
• How to challenge the beliefs keeping you trapped
• Practical steps to get support without feeling weak
• Why your worth isn't measured by what you give
