What if the freedom you’ve been chasing was hiding on the other side of being seen?
In this powerful episode of Meld: Stories from the Journey, host Tim Lee sits down with Marty Nocchi—a former Catholic priest and current men’s coach—who opens up about the quiet exhaustion of emotional suppression, the loneliness of disconnection, and the life-changing moment when he finally chose to stop hiding.
Marty shares how he stumbled into men’s work through social media, resisted the invitation to show up, and then found unexpected clarity, brotherhood, and liberation at a retreat in Joshua Tree. He talks about what it really means to be whole, the difference between barriers and boundaries, and why being seen can feel terrifying but also like coming home.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or like something in you is trying to be heard, this conversation is for you.
