New Year’s resolutions often sound like growth, but for masculine people, they can turn into quiet tests of discipline, control, and worth. In this episode, we look at how masculinity shapes self-improvement, why “failure” feels personal, and what gets lost when growth is framed as fixing yourself instead of respecting yourself.

Pulls the curtains on the Hallmark version of the holidays. For many, the holidays season is a time of intense pressure, discomfort, and performance. Tune in this episode because Marcus cuts through the cheer and gets real about where we find belonging.

While building from episode one, Marcus addresses the difficult work of sizing up friendships, identifying frenemies, and celebrating the bonds of chosen family. 


Here on MASC. host Marc G. Acknowledges the emotional toll of visiting family as a transgender person, reminding you that you don’t owe anyone an explanation of who you are. By assessing self and prioritizing our peace, we champion the radical choice to simply say no to family holidays, freeing yourself from obligation.
