Welcome to Episode 19 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.
In this episode, Chris Hemmings speaks with Dr Sarah DiMuccio, a social psychologist and gender equity researcher whose work explores how men experience and navigate gender expectations in the workplace. Based in Copenhagen, Sarah works for Above & Beyond, Part of AVT Business School. Her research includes understanding ‘masculine anxiety’ – the pressure men feel to constantly prove they’re ‘man enough’ – and how this anxiety can influence engagement with diversity and inclusion efforts.
They discuss the challenges of bringing men into DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) work, why current approaches often alienate them, and how reframing these conversations around empathy, partnership and shared benefit could transform organisational cultures. From precarious manhood to psychological safety, Sarah and Chris unpack how gender norms affect everyone – and why compassion, not competition, is the real key to change.
