The ManFlu - Trailer

Description

You’ve heard of the “Manflu” — that mysterious illness that somehow hits men way harder than any woman could ever fathom. Well, we’re not handing out tissues, we’re here to talk about the real stuff underneath it: the disconnection, the imbalance, and how we can start to change it.“The ManFlu” is a metaphor we are using to dig into something deeper: the cultural scripts, gender roles, and unspoken rules that keep men sidelined and leave women carrying more than their share of the mental and emotional load.Host Lucy McAfee has spent years studying the impact of gender dynamics in our homes. As a wife and boy mom, she brings both research and lived experience to conversations about why these imbalances exist, how they affect families, and what we can do to build a more connected, balanced future for the next generation. Each week, The ManFlu combines insights and perspectives — featuring researchers, thinkers, and families themselves — to explore emotional labor, modern relationships, and raising evolved children. You’ll leave each episode not just nodding along but equipped with one small shift you can try at home.Join us to lighten the load and build a future where women and men can both show up as their whole selves. New episodes drop every Wednesday — follow the show so you don’t miss one. And share it with your friends, because no one should have to face the Manflu epidemic alone.
