In this episode, Lisa and Kari dive into what it takes to raise boys who grow into confident, kind, and socially conscious men. They explore how what society sold as “traditional masculinity” discourages vulnerability, why avoiding conversations about race reinforces privilege, and how to help boys build deep, meaningful friendships that ultimately inspires empathy. Drawing from books like Better Boys, Better Men by Andrew Reiner, Raising White Kids by Jennifer Harvey, and Decoding Boys by Cara Natterson, they share practical strategies for fostering emotional intelligence, modeling respect at home, and raising young men who embrace inclusion rather than feeling threatened by it. If you're raising, mentoring, or influencing boys, this conversation is a must-listen.
