Breaking the Silence on Mental Health

In this heartfelt episode, I open up an important conversation about mental health, inspired by the story of a friend’s brother who silently struggled with depression. Together, we’ll explore five common myths around mental health, particularly how they affect men, and replace them with empowering truths. I share parts of my own journey through depression and healing, offer tools like journaling that supported me, and highlight resources like HeadsUpGuys.org. If you or someone you love is struggling, please know you are not alone — and that healing, hope, and self-love are possible. Let’s walk this inward path together, break the stigma, and shine a light for others.
