Episode 140 - Redefining Latino Masculinity for Men Over 40

The traditional expectations of stoicism in Latino culture limit
many men from expressing their true selves. Add to that, the
societal pressure to achieve the American dream pushes about 4
million Latinos in the US into severe depression every year, with
many opting to commit suicide instead of seeking help.


Dr. Paul Rivera (PhD), a Co-founder of Be Act Change, joins me
today to discuss the unique challenges and empowerment paths for
Latino men over 40. We discuss vital topics, including fitness,
health, nutrition, mindset, and true masculinity, to help men
escape the depression trap as they age.





We also share practical steps for overcoming cultural and
intergenerational challenges, the significance of celebrating
achievements, and the concept of Post Traumatic Growth.





Whether you're dealing with mental health issues, struggling with
family dynamics, or looking to build a supportive community, this
episode offers the guidance and inspiration you need.





Join us as we uncover the layers of Latino masculinity and
explore how you can live a fulfilling, authentic life. And
remember, redefining your masculinity is not a sign of weakness
but a testament to your strength and resilience.
