Men Are Suffering in Silence and Here's Why

Описание: The Noise of Life Podcast x The Man That Can Project with Steve Hodgson & Lachlan Stuart

There’s a quiet trend happening right now.
More men than ever are turning to Google with questions they don’t feel safe asking their mates:

How do I ask for help?
What’s my purpose now?
Why do I feel so alone?
What should I ask my GP?
Why do I keep numbing myself?

In this powerful collaboration episode, Steve Hodgson and Lachlan Stuart sit down for an open, honest and grounded conversation about the real challenges men are facing today and why so many are searching for answers in silence instead of speaking out loud.

This episode brings together two aligned perspectives:

The Noise of Life - turning down the internal and external noise men carry
The Man That Can Project - building self-aware, capable, resilient men through action and community

Together, Steve and Lachlan unpack what it truly means to be a man in 2025.


Inside this podcast:

Why men are googling questions they are afraid to ask
How identity loss leads to burnout and loneliness
Why asking for help feels so hard for men
The role of safe spaces and male community
How awareness becomes clarity and growth
