Episode notes
Have you ever looked back and realized half the things you were taught growing up… were never really true? In this opening episode of The Unpacking Lab, we step into the time machine—and the mirror. From the front porches of the Deep South to the hallways of church sanctuaries and kitchen-table life lessons, we unpack the myths we were fed about success, womanhood, manhood, strength, and silence.
But this isn’t a blame game. It’s a reckoning. A soft landing. A call-in. Men, you’re not just welcome here—you’re needed. This isn’t about sides. It’s about unpacking the weight we all inherited so we can stop bleeding on people who didn’t cut us.
Come curious. Leave lighter. It’s time to unpack.
