365 — Why Depression in Men Almost Never Looks Like Sadness and the Things That Actually Help With Therapist Jor-El Caraballo
02/11/2026 | 48 minDepression in men rarely looks like sadness and instead, looks like irritability and impatience.
And because it rarely looks like what we think depression should look. like, it often goes undetected and untreated for years. Whether you’re a man who recognizes some of these signs in yourself or you love a man who seems to be struggling, this episode is for you.
My guest today is Jor-El Caraballo, a licensed therapist and co-founder of Viva, a multi-state mental health practice. His new book is Meditations on Becoming a Man.
Some of the things we discuss are:
Why depression in men almost never looks the way we expect it to — and the signs that most people miss
The “preordained scripts” men carry about what a good husband, father, son, or provider is supposed to look like
Why anger is almost always an umbrella emotion and the word Jor-El uses to describe what’s actually underneath it
The one question every man should ask himself when a small thing has ruined his whole day
Why the three most common coping mechanisms Jor-El sees all look socially acceptable from the outside
“John Henry syndrome” and why the ability to endure gets confused with being a man
Why so many men say they don’t have anyone to talk to even when they’re surrounded by people
Why “stumbling your way through it” is okay when you don’t know what to say
The specific warning signs that someone might be battling depression without even realizing it
How to talk to a man in your life if you think he has depression
The Therapist’s Take: My top three strategies for recognizing and responding to depression in the men you love

30/10/2026 | 18 minWithout meaning to, most of us make hard situations even harder with the stories we tell ourselves about them. The good news is you can stop adding extra misery, no matter how tough things get.
Today I’m sharing three simple tools to keep you from fueling your misery, plus how to tell when you shouldn’t try to make the best of an unhealthy situation.
Some of the things I talk about are:
The corporate job I took during the pandemic, and the one thought that kept making it more miserable.
Why it’s not the situation itself that makes us miserable, but the story we tell ourselves about it.
What making the best of a hard situation is not, and why mental strength isn’t about gritting your teeth through anything.
The question to ask yourself first: is this something to accept for now, or something to change or leave?
The sneaky words that turn a preference into a demand, and what to say instead.
Why saying “I can’t stand this” makes things feel worse, even while you’re standing it.
How labeling yourself or others keeps you stuck, and what to do instead.
The question that turns a hard situation into a chance to grow mentally stronger.
My challenge for you this week to start shifting your mindset.

26/10/2026 | 56 minDo you feel busy all day but still go to bed wondering what you actually got done? Maybe you've tried productivity tricks like waking up early, tracking your habits or downloading apps and when it doesn't work, you decide you're the problem.
Well research suggests the average person gets only about 24 minutes of truly focused work a day, and more hacks won’t fix that.
My guest, Dr. Christian Poensgen, says only three things determine how much you get done. And when you address all three, you can become ultra productive.
Some of the things we discuss are:
Why the average person gets only about 24 minutes of real focused work a day.
Why the first 10 minutes of focused work always feel awful, and why that’s a sign you’re doing it right.
The 90-minute energy cycle, and what happens when you push past it.
Why scrolling on your break is still work for your brain, and what to do instead.
How you can sleep a full eight hours and still get “junk sleep.”
The two types of sleep you need, and why cutting your sleep short skips your brain’s “overnight therapy.”
Three simple changes that improve sleep quality, including one involving a $40 lamp.
Why some stress is actually good for you, and how stressing yourself out on purpose can make you more resilient.
The Therapist’s Take: my top three takeaways for improving your productivity

23/10/2026 | 22 minDo you ever run out of energy by the middle of the day, or feel like you’re on empty before the day even starts?
Most of us reach for the same fix every time, like more coffee, something sweet, or a quick scroll that turns into 20 minutes. But there are at least three different reasons you might feel drained, and two of them have little to do with your energy. If you reach for the wrong fix, it can backfire. Today I’m sharing three two-minute fixes that give you an energy boost, and how to tell which one you actually need.
Some of the things I talk about are:
What I do on afternoons when I’m writing a book and my brain stops working, and why another cup of coffee doesn’t help.
Why most of us use one go-to energy fix no matter what’s actually going on.
The psychology principle that explains why you can feel drained whether you’re wound too tight or too flat.
A simple 1-to-10 check-in that tells you which kind of drained you are.
Why caffeine is the worst thing to reach for when you feel wired and exhausted at the same time.
My favorite breathing exercise and the Stanford research that shows why it works.
The study that compared climbing stairs to drinking coffee, and which one gave people more energy.
An easy trick for your eyes when you’ve been staring at a screen all day.
How to tell when you’re not really tired but just dreading something, and the 10-minute rule that gets you unstuck.
Why your brain wants to finish what it starts once you hit the two-minute mark.
When a two-minute fix isn’t enough, and what to look at instead.

19/10/2026 | 46 minHave you ever gotten good news from a friend and felt bad instead of happy for them? Or someone in the group chat announced they’re pregnant — and instead of feeling excited, you felt a little sick to your stomach. And then you felt guilty for feeling that way, so you typed “congratulations” and moved on.
The truth is, all of us feel envy sometimes. But most of us have been taught to get rid of it. We’ve heard that comparison is the thief of joy. G my guest today says that’s because envy isn’t a sign that there’s something wrong with you — it’s information about what you actually want.
My guest is Dr. Stacy Kim, a social scientist who has done research at Columbia University’s National Center for Children and Families and the Families and Work Institute. Her new book is Envy.
Some of the things we discuss are:
The real difference between envy and jealousy and why using them interchangeably keeps you stuck
Why “comparison is the thief of joy” is bad advice
The four components of envy that reveal what your envy is actually trying to tell you
What envy means about the gap between where you are and where you want to be
The intangible desire hiding underneath every object of your envy
Why gratitude isn’t the antidote to envy
The Korean word for envy that doesn’t exist in English and how having two words for it changes everything
Why high achievers and over-givers tend to experience more envy
The four questions to ask yourself on an index card the next time envy shows up
How to handle the hardest kind of envy
The Therapist’s Take: My top three strategies for letting your envy teach you something starting today
