    The Man Behind the Mask
    Oct 30 2026
    Why do so many men hide their struggles? Jeff Sandman unpacks the mask men wear: the dependable image everyone sees, how competence can hide distress, why being needed isn't the same as being known, and how provider pressure becomes a silent burden. Drawing on his own experience after losing his son, and a few lessons from his career in refrigeration, Jeff explains why "I've got this" can be the most detrimental words a man says, and why reaching out for help is how you become a victor, not a victim.
