In this episode, we unpack the viral trend, “If he wanted to, he would,” which sets a standard for men to express love through grand gestures. But is it really that simple? We dive deeper into the conversation, questioning whether it’s always about wanting to show love or if there’s more at play.

We Dive Into:

• The importance of witnessing healthy relationships modeled, growing up.
• How do men's emotional awareness and tools of self-expression play a role?
• How societal norms teach men to be less emotionally receptive than women—should that be blamed, or is it part of their design?
• We reflect on their own relationships, discussing love languages and the importance of communicating your needs and desires to your partner.

Plus, we circle back to Community Real-Talk, where you can share your own stories for the upcoming “How Are You Really?” episode, or send in questions for us and Emma's husband, Casey, to answer in their upcoming episode. As always, we’re diving into the complexities of love, relationships, and communication— be a part of it when you submit your stories and questions here!
