About this listen

 The Feel First Podcast is a safe space for real people with real emotions. Hosted by Jack Lee Matthews, this show is for anyone who’s ever smiled in public but cried in private. For the ones who keep showing up for others — even when no one shows up for them. Each episode is raw, unfiltered, and rooted in truth — blending storytelling, spiritual wisdom, and mental health tools that meet you where you are. Because healing isn’t just for the broken… it’s for the brave. Before we grind — we feel. Mental health first. Always.Jack Lee Matthews Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

    The Feeling That Started It All
    Jun 29 2025

    In this raw and deeply personal first episode, host Jack Lee Matthews opens up about the moment everything changed — the heartbreaking loss of his best friend Shayne to suicide, and the silent battles he’s fought behind the scenes as a high-achieving man who always looked “fine” on the outside.


    This isn’t just a story about grief. It’s about what happens when we finally stop pretending we’re okay… and start feeling for real.


    Jack unpacks the weight of high-functioning depression, the loneliness of being the strong one, and how God, heartbreak, and healing shaped the mission behind this podcast. Whether you’re a man who’s been told to tough it out, a woman carrying it all alone, or someone who just knows what it’s like to smile through the pain — this space was created for you.


    No filters. No masks. Just truth.
