223: Breaking The Boy Code With Psychotherapist Katie Hurley | Parenting the Adlerian Way Podcast🎙️

In this episode of Parenting the Adlerian Way, parenting expert Alyson Schafer speaks with Dr. Katie Hurley, licensed clinical social worker, youth mental health expert, and author of Breaking the Boy Code, about the pressures boys face today as they navigate social media, online influencers, peer pressure, loneliness, masculinity, and mental health. Together, Alyson and Dr. Hurley explore the “Boy Code,” the rise of hyper-masculine online content, why boys may struggle to talk about emotions, and how parents can create safer conversations at home. Dr. Hurley offers practical advice on connection, friendship, emotional coping skills, calling boys in instead of calling them out, and helping boys build the confidence to challenge harmful messages when they see them. This conversation is an important listen for parents raising boys, parents of teens and tweens, and anyone who wants to better understand how to support boys’ emotional well-being in today’s world.
