Too Young to Grieve – Losing a Parent, Male Grief and Learning to Live with Loss with Luke Alfano
In this episode, Chris Hemmings speaks with Luke Alfano, founder of Too Young to Grieve, a community supporting young people who are dealing with bereavement and loss.
Luke lost his father to cancer when he was just 21. After spending several years keeping busy and avoiding his grief, the death of his grandmother brought those feelings back to the surface and ultimately inspired him to create Too Young to Grieve.
Chris and Luke compare their experiences of losing their fathers at a young age and explore how grief can affect identity, relationships, mental health and the transition into adulthood. They discuss the pressure men often feel to remain strong, the ways grief can be hidden from those around us and why friends may struggle to support someone through an experience they have never encountered themselves.
They also discuss grief at significant life milestones, the physical effects of bereavement, father-son relationships, friendship, therapy and the difference between moving on from loss and learning how to carry it. Luke explains how Too Young to Grieve is creating communities in which young people can meet others who understand what they are experiencing.
This episode is an honest conversation about male grief, losing a parent too young and why nobody should have to navigate bereavement alone.

Provider Anxiety – Why Men Tie Their Worth to Work and Money
In the first episode of season two, Chris Hemmings and Dr Jett Stone explore the pressure many men feel to provide financially, even as relationships, workplaces and traditional gender roles continue to change.
They discuss how boys learn to associate love and respect with achievement, competence and usefulness. Over time, this can create what Jett calls the “existential load”: the constant fear of not earning, achieving or providing enough.
Chris and Jett consider why financial success rarely removes this anxiety, how it affects fathers and stay-at-home dads and what men may discover when they stop working, fixing and proving themselves.
They also explore how providing could be understood more broadly, including emotional presence, caregiving, friendship and creating safety for the people around us. At the heart of the conversation is a simple idea: men remain worthy of love even when they are not useful.
The episode concludes with the launch of the new Men’s Therapy Hub website and its expansion into the United States, including improved therapist matching, topic pages and dedicated UK and US directories.
