Episode 87

What if the man in your life is silently suffering?

In this episode of Live Brighter With Tara, I sit down with my husband, Mike Shawn, to have an honest and vulnerable conversation about male victims of domestic abuse—a topic rarely discussed, but deeply important.

We explore how societal conditioning teaches men to suppress emotion, how childhood dynamics influence adult relationships, and the unique challenges men face in healing from abuse. Through personal stories and practical insight, we unpack the emotional impact of staying silent and the steps couples can take to build deeper, healthier connections.

This conversation highlights the power of communication, compassion, and breaking generational patterns—and why understanding each other’s past is essential to healing together.
