I’m Trying, Dude.

About I’m Trying, Dude.

Welcome to I’m Trying, Dude—a podcast by two friends figuring out what it really means to be comfortable in our own skin. We’re exploring a new, more open definition of masculinity, drawing from the ups and downs of relationships—whether with ourselves, partners, family, or friends. Along the way, we’ve stumbled, grown, sought therapy, and learned from mistakes (plenty of them). This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about sharing the process. If you’ve ever felt like you’re struggling to keep it together, you’re not alone. We’re right there with you, figuring it out one day at a time.
