This episode is part 1 of a mini-series about men in relationships.  I found that I was living with a distorted vision of what it meant to be a man. Particularly in a romantic relationship. In the 5-episode mini-series, I vulnerably share my process of how I changed my perception of what it meant to be a man in a relationship.  Jess and I are thriving in comparison to how we started our journey together. We are not perfect by any means, and we continually work very hard to improve and grow together every single day. Although it can be extremely challenging some days, we are both committed to bringing our dreams to life. A major part of our dream is to have an incredible relationship. The next 5 episodes cover my journey to resolving some of my deeper issues that were getting in the way of a great relationship. The first episode of the mini-series is about men exploring and articulating their emotions. This was a huge barrier in our relationship and something I had to (and still) work very hard to improve on. In this episode, I will explain why men should open up emotionally and I offer my 7 tips to help men explore, express, and articulate their emotions. If you are a man in a relationship, a single man looking to get into a relationship, or a woman who wants to gain more insight on this topic, I promise this episode will provide some value.   Please enjoy!:) Joel
