Men on the Block

Real Talk for men who are done surviving—and are ready to thrive together.

You’ve held it down for everyone else.

Now it’s time to check in with yourself.

If you’re a man (20-55) who’s been carrying the weight—of expectations, silence, pressure, grief—and wondering if there’s more to life than just surviving… this space is for you.

Men on the Block is a 20-week in-person and virtual group for men who are ready to unpack what they’ve been holding, grow emotionally, and learn how to show up—with intention, not just instinct.

Guided Support that Meets You Where You Are-

In Community.

This group is for you if…

  • You’ve learned to keep it together so well, no one sees when you’re falling apart or checks in to see how you’re doing

  • You love deeply, but struggle to show it or say it

  • You’re tired of repeating patterns in relationships

  • You’re strong for everyone else but haven’t had a space to be held

  • You’re ready to get real about your emotions without shame

  • You want community with other men who understand the unspoken weight

This group isn’t for you if…

  • You’re not open to being challenged or held accountable

  • You think vulnerability is weakness

  • You’d rather blame than take ownership

  • You’re not ready to look at yourself or the cycles you might be repeating

But if you’re ready to shift, grow, and get real—
We’ve got a seat for you.

Inside the Group

We sit down weekly and talk about what’s actually going on—no fluff.

  • Creating a safe space, setting shared values, and building trust through connection.

  • Challenging toxic norms and exploring healthier, truer versions of masculinity.

  • Breaking the silence around mental health and normalizing emotional expression.

  • Tools to navigate daily pressure, overwhelm, and burnout.

  • Exploring how early life impacts adult behavior—and how we begin to heal.

  • Recognizing inherited wounds and reclaiming your story.

  • How openness creates strength, connection, and self-trust.

  • Building deeper, supportive relationships with other men.

  • Creating balanced connections in romantic, family, and work spaces.

  • Learning to speak your needs and navigate disagreements with clarity and calm.

  • Building emotional resilience when things don’t go as planned.

  • Identifying helpful vs harmful coping strategies and reclaiming control.

  • Discussing consent, confidence, and healthy sexual expression.
