What does it mean to be a man in 2025 when the goalposts move every day? This men-only session is paid for by MANUP?, so there is no cost and you can join with a first name only.

Therapist James Elliott MSc opens by mapping the conflicting messages men face: hustle for success yet switch off on demand, be open yet never overshare, stay strong yet be sensitive. We dig into how housing costs, AI job shifts, swipe-based dating and 24-hour news wire men for chronic stress and comparison.

The practical section focuses on building a toolkit that keeps you steady:

• Priority map that sorts what really matters from noise

• Comparison detox to stop social feeds running your life

• Purpose audit to check if your work and habits line up with your values

• Connection hacks that create genuine support when mates are scattered across postcodes or time zones

You can keep your camera off, listen only or fire questions in chat. Every man leaves with a 90-day action sheet, links to free budgeting and career tools, plus a list of mental health apps that help you track mood and progress without selling your data.
