    • Showing Up for Her: A Husband's Guide to Perimenopause

      Showing Up for Her: A Husband's Guide to Perimenopause
      Feb 2 2026
      Showing Up for Her: A Husband's Guide to Perimenopause In this deeply personal and eye-opening conversation, Marc Jameson opens up about walking alongside his wife through perimenopause—a journey that tested their marriage, deepened their connection, and ultimately led to life-changing solutions. Through raw and honest dialogue, he shares what it means to truly show up as a husband when your partner is battling an internal struggle she can barely explain. Key insights explored: • Recognizing the signs: When crying, emotional shifts, and internal struggles became a recurring pattern that couldn't be ignored • The difference between dismissing women as "just emotional" versus leaning in with curiosity and grace • How perimenopause differs from menopause and why it's far more than just hot flashes • The isolation women face when older generations don't prepare them for what's coming • Finding solutions together: From dismissive doctors to discovering hormone pellet therapy that changed everything • Why being your wife's safe space matters more than being "the man of the house" • The importance of checking in, asking questions, and never assuming she can control what's happening to her body • How removing distractions and prioritizing your partner creates bandwidth for real support • Why treating your wife like your best friend, confidant, and hero transforms everything • The victory of finding relief after feeling hopeless—and why it's a "we" journey, not a "her" problem MarcChapters 00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Perimenopause 00:06:19 Meeting Marc: A Husband's Perspective 00:15:22 Recognizing the Struggle 00:17:59 Being Her Safe Space 00:14:05 Don't Harbor Feelings: The Power of Communication 00:20:58 Navigating the Dark Days 00:33:41 The Search for Solutions 00:48:03 Life-Changing Relief: The Pellet Solution 00:21:47 Staying Attuned and In Tune 01:09:17 Advice for Men: Show Up and Figure It Out 01:20:43 The Victory of Finding Solutions Together 01:39:39 Final Wisdom: Make Your Home Your Safe Space vulnerably discusses the moments his wife sat at her desk crying, the days they could predict would be the hardest, and how he learned to show up without being defensive or reactive. He emphasizes that this isn't about being soft—it's about being strong enough to support the woman who's supported you, mature enough to do the research, and selfless enough to make her happiness your priority. This conversation touches on the power of staying in tune with your partner, the danger of letting societal norms dictate how you love your wife, and why every man needs to understand that perimenopause is coming for the women in their lives. A must-listen for husbands navigating this journey and anyone who wants to break the cycle of silence around women's health. This episode reflects personal experience and conversations.

    • Cut and Conversation Fatherhood Collection A. K.

      Cut and Conversation Fatherhood Collection A. K.
      Jul 5 2023
      From Father Wounds to Father Wisdom: A.K.'s Raw Journey In this powerful episode of the Fatherhood Collection, A.K. opens up about his transformation from a man who never wanted children to a devoted father actively working to break generational cycles. Growing up without a father figure in the home - a reality shared by all his childhood friends - A.K. reveals how this absence initially shaped his resistance to fatherhood. The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as he discusses the unexpected challenge of building connection with his newborn son, sharing the painful memory of his two-month-old crying when he tried to hold him. "A mother is naturally connected," he reflects, "but as a father, you have to build that connection." A.K. candidly explores the mental work of modern fatherhood, describing every interaction with his nine-year-old son as a moment that could "go up or down." He wrestles with finding balance between discipline and emotional connection, admitting he sometimes struggles to recognize when his son needs a hug instead of correction. The discussion expands into broader themes of community, examining the isolation many Black families face and the intentional effort required to create supportive networks. A.K. shares his frustration with maintaining his "old school" parenting values in a world of cell phones and social media, while searching for like-minded families who share similar standards. Throughout this authentic exchange, A.K. challenges traditional concepts of manhood, ultimately concluding that raising a good human being transcends gender roles. His journey from learning manhood through rappers and athletes to consciously crafting his own definition offers hope and insight for fathers navigating similar paths. This episode is essential listening for fathers working to overcome their own childhood experiences, men seeking community and connection, and anyone interested in the evolving landscape of modern Black fatherhood.
