When did protecting your friends become more important than calling them out? In light of recent disturbing headlines, I sit down with Dr. Shefali to ask: what has gone wrong in the way we raise boys? Why do some men stay silent when their friends cross a line? And how does belonging to the group become more important than another person’s safety? We explore where it begins: the emotions boys are taught to hide, the behaviour adults excuse, and the messages about masculinity, power and consent that follow them into adulthood. We also discuss raising daughters who trust their instincts, speak up and hold their boundaries, and why raising conscious children requires us to examine ourselves first. ***Sponsored by AirDoctor.com.
