LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:
You’re not alone. In fact, 94% of the guys who join our Men’s Group community have never been part of anything like this before. If you’re feeling skeptical, confused, or even a bit nervous about showing up and talking with other men, this video is for you. Sean Galla, MensGroup CEO, shares what it was like when he first joined a men’s group—navigating fears about being judged, wasting time, or not fitting in.
He talks candidly about his early doubts: worrying he wouldn’t like the other guys, wondering if his problems were “too much,” and fearing he’d be stuck listening to people complain. But as he shares in the video, those fears were just a reflection of the unfamiliar. Like most guys, he had never experienced being in a room where men openly talk about real-life challenges—from breakups and burnout to addiction, family struggles, and self-doubt.
Over time, he discovered that men’s groups aren’t one-size-fits-all. Just like finding the right gym or therapist, you might need to try a few before you land on one that clicks. But once you do, it’s powerful. Sean found groups where men were there to grow, not wallow. Where guys shared openly and offered guidance, not judgment. And that kind of honest connection changed everything.
This video is a real, personal account of what it’s like to join a men’s group for the first time—and what’s possible when you stick with it. Whether you join one of our online groups or find a local meeting in your town, having a safe place to talk makes a huge difference in a man’s life. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
If you’ve ever thought about joining a men’s group but had doubts or concerns, this video breaks it down in a relatable, no-BS way. Watch to hear what Sean learned from 20+ years of experience running men’s groups—and why it might be exactly what you need right now.
