A short episode with Lachlan Stuart for a focused conversation on why so many men feel disconnected, even when they’re surrounded by people. We talked honestly about why men turn to Google instead of their mates, the fear of vulnerability and the lack of emotional language many men carry. This episode explores what it means to be seen and heard, and why that often starts with allowing ourselves to be visible. We also reflect on men’s circles, safe spaces and the power of opening up in the right environment. If you’ve ever felt lonely in a room full of people, this conversation will resonate. In This Episode - Why men feel unseen even with strong friendships - How fear of vulnerability leads to silence - Why men turn to Google instead of real conversations - The role of safe spaces in emotional growth - How awareness helps men reconnect Connect with Lachlan: Instagram → https://bit.ly/45BMzhf LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/4qAjXgs Website → https://bit.ly/4sp38H2 Connect with Steve: Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj  Episode Highlights: 00:00:00 - Feeling disconnected while surrounded by friends 00:00:44 - Why men struggle to articulate emotions 00:01:03 - Vulnerability and Googling in silence 00:02:18 - Communication differences and learned habits 00:03:01 - Creating safe spaces for men to open up 00:03:41 - Men’s circles and feeling seen 00:05:20 - Learning language through shared stories 00:07:18 - Removing masks and allowing yourself to be seen 00:09:26 - Loneliness, fear and ownership ABOUT THE PODCAST SHOW The Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths and remarkable growth.
