A short YouTube monologue (Daniel Borschel) describing a men's-only session where typically stoic men (e.g., bodybuilders, UFC fighters) begin to express emotions openly—crying, healthy anger expression—and form strong bonds. The speaker highlights the immediate emotional release, brotherhood formed through hugging, and the wider ripple effect changing the community.
Men hold back their expression because they don't want to let it go in front of women hosting the men's only session. You see these guys come in and they're big bodybuilders, or we've had UFC fighters and these guys with these, you know, like me, big beards, and they're just holding back, saying, my wife sent me, I have to do this, or whatever. And at the end, they're like, I was feeling emotions and, and like it was coming up and I started crying. And it's this community, and you have, you have people that are and these guys are now hugging, and they're brothers that just went through an experience together that maybe they've never had another man cry around them or be able to express anger in a healthy way. Ripples are turning into waves that are just changing our community and the people around us. So such a beautiful thing to witness.
