The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan 412: The Masculinity Crisis No One Is Talking About with Robin Uthappa
There’s a side of masculinity that we don’t talk about enough.
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and former international cricketer turned transformational coach, Robin Uthappa. Together, we unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface for so many men today.
Because what if the reason men struggle to open up… isn’t what we think? We explore the hidden layers of vulnerability, the roles men feel pressured to play, and why so many people feel disconnected even when they’ve “made it.”
If you’ve ever struggled to express your emotions, felt misunderstood in your relationships, or wondered why success doesn’t always equal fulfillment… this one is for you.
What you'll get out of this episode…
Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s courage in action
The biggest misconception about men and emotions
Why emotional safety is the gateway to real connection
How to begin the process of healing
The importance of sports for children’s development
What happens when work becomes play
Why success doesn’t guarantee happiness
