For Ben Orlando, it was realizing those moments were never really about baseball at all. &amp;nbsp; I’m talking with psychotherapist, writer, and Midnight Library of Baseball host Ben Orlando about masculinity, nostalgia, and what happens when men lose the thread back to themselves. &amp;nbsp; We explore why the hobbies we dismiss as “not serious” often point to something much deeper, and why reconnecting with joy and authenticity matters even more as we get older. You’ll hear about: &amp;nbsp; Why certain childhood memories stay with us for life How men lose themselves in careers and responsibilities The importance of reconnecting with joy and nostalgia Why hobbies and passions matter more than we think The emotional power of shared memories What older men regret most at the end of life Why it’s never too late to reconnect with yourself &amp;nbsp; -- Resources Podcast: Midnight Library of Baseball Website:&amp;nbsp;midnightlibraryofbaseball.com&amp;nbsp; Instagram: @midnightlibraryofbaseball Therapy: benorlando.com &amp;nbsp; Chapter X with Michael Kay https://www.michaelfkay.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41433715/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/202330795
