Welcome to Make Men Emotional Again, a weekly newsletter busting myths about masculinity and helping men have healthier relationships.
More and more men are looking for something different than so-called “traditional” masculinity. We’re fed up with politicians, billionaires, and influencers promoting outdated ideas about how to be a man for their own gain. We’re searching for what healthy masculinity looks like today.
This newsletter busts myths about masculinity and helps men live healthier lives and have more fulfilling relationships in a society that sets us up for failure.

Two subscription options
Subscribing for free gets you weekly posts like these:
You’ll also get my free guide: “4 ways to start improving your relationship right now.”
Upgrading your subscription ($5/month or $50/year) gets you a little more:
You’ll get practical, actionable advice to help with your relationship, dating, friendships, and self-care, which I deliver in Q&A posts most Fridays.
Your $5 a month (or $50 a year) helps pay for my house, internet, computer, books, and other things I need to keep this project going. It also allows me to not have to see so many therapy clients every week, which tends to burn me out.

I’m the mother of two teen boys and am finding all your work incredibly helpful in raising them to be good humans.

About me
I’m Jeremy Mohler (he/him), a therapist, men’s group leader, writer, and former communications strategist in the labor movement.
Years ago, a breakup hurt me so bad that I took a chance on going to therapy. I learned how to calm my anxiety, figure out what I really want in life, and—most importantly—be nicer to myself.
Along the way, I transitioned careers from marketing for Fortune 500 tech companies to fighting for economic and racial justice in statehouses and city halls nationwide—and then to being a therapist myself. I currently see clients and lead men’s groups from where I live in Baltimore, Maryland.
From my days working in labor politics, I bring a particular lens to men’s work. I’m influenced by feminists like Silvia Federici, Nancy Fraser, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor who blame capitalism for many of society’s issues. I’m curious about how capitalism has distorted our ideas about gender. I believe a different, fairer, safer, healthier way of organizing society is possible—but only through, as Martin Luther King Jr. called it, a “radical redistribution of political and economic power.”
I also want to give a shout out to my teachers and mentors, including Donald Cohen, Hetty Barnett, Tara Brach, Hugh Byrne, Natalie Goldberg, and many others.

*By “men,” I often (but not always) mean people whose gender identity and expression matches the biological sex (male) they were assigned when they were born. This is often referred to as “cisgender.”
