From Warrior to Elder: Rethinking Mental Health and Aging for Men
In this episode, we’re joined by therapist Ed Collins for a candid conversation about the often-overlooked mental health challenges faced by older men. Together, we explore how traditional masculinity and societal expectations can create barriers to mental wellness and prevent men from seeking the support they need. Ed offers a powerful framework for aging with purpose, encouraging a shift from the role of “warrior” to “tribal elder.” He makes the case for celebrating aging as a time of meaning, growth, and intentional transition. The episode closes with thoughtful reflections on retirement and planning for life’s final chapters—not with fear, but with hope and clarity.
