The Hidden Struggle Inside Every Man | Thulani Grenville-Grey + Craig Wilkinson

Loading player...
Craig sits down with men’s mental health crusader and TRC veteran Thulani Grenville-Grey to explore one of the most important and overlooked issues in society today: the emotional struggle that so many men carry in silence.

Having both worked extensively with men across South Africa, Craig and Thulani unpack why men find it so hard to ask for help, why so many suffer in silence, and what lies beneath their reluctance to express pain and vulnerability. They also share their unique insights and moving stories from the front lines of helping men heal and reconnect with their true selves.

This frank and sometimes uncomfortable conversation offers a rare glimpse into the male psyche - how early experiences shape identity, how cultural expectations suppress emotion, and how unspoken pain often drives destructive behaviour. It’s a raw and deeply human look at what it means to be a man - and how healing, vulnerability and true brotherhood can change everything. If you’re a man, or love a man, you need to hear this.
