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.
