Most men are told to “listen better,” but almost nobody teaches the actual skills. In this skills-focused episode, therapist and professor Tim Wienecke breaks empathy down into something measurable, trainable, and immediately useful in the real world.

Many men believe in #MeToo but aren’t sure how to participate in a way that is grounded, useful, and non-performative. In this second installment of the Men & #MeToo series, Tim offers a clinician’s, veteran’s, and advocate’s guide to modern allyship for men. Tim explains how to regulate, breathe, and respond with presence instead of vengeance. Tim offers simple scripts (“I’m so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for trusting me.”) and emphasizes that men need more than one outlet for processing: therapist, men’s group, trusted friends, faith community, or all of the above. Tim also explains how to bring your story into leadership if you’re a survivor yourself — without centering yourself in spaces meant for others.

When an accusation lands—true or false—your world collapses in seconds. This episode is for the moment after that. Licensed therapist and veteran Tim Wienecke breaks down what to do when you’re accused of misconduct, how to stabilize your system, and how to move toward accountability without losing integrity.
