Summary

Lily Mandelbaum and Elisa Goodkind, the mother-daughter duo behind the groundbreaking digital media platform “StyleLikeU,” join us for a truly inspirational conversation about body positivity (25:07), self-love, confidence, and the beauty of embracing "what's underneath." Tune in for an exciting announcement: StyleLikeU is partnering with Man Enough to release a new season of the popular What’s Underneath series, titled “What’s Underneath: Masculinity.” (11:42) For the first time in StyleLikeU’s history the series will exclusively focus on men and masculinity! Pulling from a shared belief in the connective power of vulnerability and truth (15:24), this collaboration is set to redefine the conversation around men and masculinity, challenging stereotypes, and encouraging self-expression all while calling men in, not out. Join us for thought-provoking discussions with Steve-O, Jidenna, Colton Underwood, and others as we explore themes like body image, sex addiction, sports culture, mental health, and much more. This special season of What’s Underneath will debut on November 9th with video episodes available on StyleLikeU's YouTube channel and extended podcast interviews right here on The Man Enough Podcast feed.
