358: How to Communicate Better and Express Vulnerability as Men in Relationships

Originally published on March 4, 2021. In this powerful encore episode of How to Live a Fantastic Life, we dive into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention—men, emotional vulnerability, and relationships. Our guest, Travis Belanger, shares his personal journey that began with a difficult divorce in the early 2000s and ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of self-awareness, emotional expression, and what it truly means to be a connected man.

 

Travis now dedicates his life to helping other men rediscover their passion and purpose—not by hiding their emotions, but by embracing them. His mission is clear: to break down the outdated belief that “men don’t talk” and instead, create spaces where men can open up, be vulnerable, and live more authentic, fulfilled lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in shifting the conversation around masculinity and emotional wellness.

 

Guest Bio: Travis Belanger is a passionate coach, engaging speaker, and the founder of Men On Fire, a movement dedicated to helping men ignite their lives by reconnecting with their true selves. Through his transformational coaching and monthly Ignite Your Life Brotherhood gatherings, Travis creates powerful spaces for men to explore their inner world, build stronger connections, and redefine success on their own terms.

 

After going through a painful divorce and experiencing repeated relationship struggles, Travis realized something vital was missing in his life. Always on the move and disconnected from his emotions, he eventually came to a turning point—a realization that true change had to start from within. His personal growth journey led him through books, mentorship, and self-discovery, and it transformed not only his life but his purpose.

 

Today, Travis is on a mission to challenge societal norms that keep men emotionally closed off. He empowers them to step into their full potential by embracing vulnerability, fostering authentic relationships, and living with greater passion and purpose.
