156 - How to Build Emotional Resilience after Prostate Cancer

ManKind Podcast

In this week's episode of the Mankind Podcast, Boysen Hodgson hosts Mish Middelmann for a compelling discussion on masculinity, health, and personal transformation. Mish, a leader in coaching and a prostate cancer survivor, shares his journey from diagnosis to creating a global peer support movement for men dealing with prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction. The episode dives into the nuances of redefining manhood, the impact of systemic biases, and the importance of vulnerability and open communication in relationships.

Mish emphasizes the need for men to embrace flexibility in their identities, moving beyond traditional notions of masculinity. He shares personal anecdotes, including how he and his wife navigated their own sexual relationship challenges with the help of a relationship coach, highlighting the importance of discussing "undiscussables" to strengthen bonds.

Listeners can learn more about Mish's initiatives, including his website RecoveringMan.net, which offers support groups and coaching for men and couples. His professional coaching services are available at EnterpriseCoach.net.
