A space for men who carry more than they say.

For the Man Shaped by Struggles is a podcast about men’s struggles — the ones most men never talk about: loneliness, anxiety, disconnection, the pressure to provide, relationships that fall apart, and the quiet weight of a masculinity that taught you to stay silent.

I’m Elena, Spanish, London adopted, and training as a counsellor. Some episodes are just me, thinking out loud. Others are conversations with guests, and some are interviews where other hosts invited me onto their shows. Together we explore men’s mental health, purpose, relationships, faith, and what it means to be a man today.

I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk alongside you — to help you understand what you feel and give voice to what you’ve always kept silent.

And this isn’t a one-way conversation. If something here speaks to you, write to me at bystruggles.com — I read every message.

New episodes every week. Hit follow so the next one finds you.

I'm Spanish, from a small city in southern Spain, living in London since 2014. I believe in spiritual warfare. My podcast was born from watching men here in London who were deeply broken behind their hardest edges; instead of building walls, I chose to build bridges — to look closer, understand.

I believe in second chances when there's real willingness to change. Professionally, I went from Law in Spain, to Digital Marketing in London, to now training as a counsellor, studying Counselling and Psychotherapy.

English isn't my first language, so I'll probably say something silly along the way — I don't say that as an apology, it's just part of who I am.

I'm here to walk alongside you and sit with you. I'd love to hear what you'd like to listen to on my show.
