We gather a diverse panel of men's coaches, ministers, and veterans to break the silence around men's mental health and share personal experiences with depression, suicide, and healing.

• Men have been conditioned to bury emotions while working hard and providing for family
• Suicide is the second leading cause of death for men under 45, highlighting the mental health crisis
• Depression often stems from feeling lack of value and purpose in life
• Men frequently stay alive only for their loved ones despite successful external appearances
• Self-care for men includes developing hobbies without productivity expectations
• Every man needs a support system, whether through men's groups, coaching, or trusted friends
• Breaking generational patterns of emotional suppression requires vulnerability and community
• Journaling, physical activity, and meditation serve as powerful tools for mental wellness

If you're struggling with mental health issues, reach out to any of our panelists through their contact information shared at the end of the episode. Remember: you are not alone, despite what the shadows and lies may tell you.
