Ep.7 - The Invisible Pressure Gay Men Carry Every Day

The Gay Man's Podcast

Show Notes

In this episode, I discuss the heavy weight so many gay men carry around daily - the constant need to prove yourself, be productive, stay switched on, and hold it all together. We unpack where this pressure comes from, how it shows up as burnout, imposter syndrome, or overcompensation - and what it actually takes to start feeling safe in your own skin. If you’ve ever felt like rest has to be earned or success is the only way to feel enough… this one’s for you!
