Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a podcaster. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.

Reaching out and responding to people is integral to human existence, weaving the complex fabric of our social interactions and establishing the connections that make us inherently human. However, it's not always easy. Many of us grapple with the fear of rejection, the stress of formulating a 'perfect' response, or the burden of opening up to someone, be it a friend, family member, or a stranger. This difficulty can stem from various sources, including past experiences, innate personality traits, or societal norms and expectations. Despite the challenges, the act of reaching out and responding is essential for our growth and well-being. It enables us to understand different perspectives, foster deeper relationships, and find support in times of need. It's a delicate balance, an ongoing endeavor, but one that holds the potential to enrich our lives immensely.
