Losing Love, Leading Men & Speaking Truth Without Apology | Raw Minds Podcast S2 Ep. 38

In the final episode of our powerful three-part Women’s Series, Erick and Anthony sit down with Maggie a journeyman carpenter, scaffolding supervisor, and the godmother of Erick’s daughter for a deeply raw conversation about grief, identity, and showing up in a world that often tells women to quiet down.

This episode dives deep into:

Growing up in male-dominated circles and earning respect in construction

Losing her husband to cancer and what palliative care at home taught her

Navigating grief, self-reflection, and redefining love on her own terms

Emotional intelligence, managing anger, and learning to communicate without ego

The real toll of being “the strong one” and how she’s learning to soften

Her journey from reactive behavior to conscious self-awareness

Powerful insight on mental health systems, single parenting, work stress & burnout

Why proactive care not just crisis intervention must be our future

This is more than a conversation it’s a masterclass in emotional courage. Maggie doesn’t hold back, and we’re better for it.
