About this listen
In this week’s powerful episode of SAUNAIE, we’re tackling a topic most people avoid: Black men’s childhood trauma.
We unpack the experiences too many of us were forced to bury — from physical abuse to absent fathers to growing up in environments where pain was normalized and emotions were silenced.
Did you know:
60% of Black men report experiencing at least one traumatic event in childhood
Black boys are 3x more likely to experience physical punishment
Unhealed trauma increases the risk of depression by 300%, anxiety by 250%, and substance abuse by 400%
This episode explores how those wounds follow us into adulthood — affecting our relationships, our mental health, our careers, and how we see ourselves as men.
You’ll learn:
How childhood trauma shapes your adult life
What signs to look for in yourself and others
Practical ways to start healing and redefining manhood
Why breaking the silence is one of the bravest things you can do
