In this episode, Sam sits down with psychologist Dr. Audra Horney to talk about what therapists — and the internet — are getting wrong about men right now.

In conversation, we tackle:

The uncomfortable backlash to talking about the “male loneliness epidemic” — and why dismissing it only pushes men further underground
The therapy mistake that turns a lot of men off immediately: endless validation with zero tangible direction
What women often misunderstand about the emotional landscape men are navigating right now
How algorithms quietly funnel lonely, frustrated men toward increasingly extreme content
The balance men in therapy actually need: validation and accountability

Dr. Audra Horney is a licensed psychologist based in Phoenix, Arizona who specializes in working with men. She shares insights about men’s mental health, relationships, and emotional development online and in her private practice. Follow her on social media @dr.audra.horney
