Episode 11: Breaking the Stigma - What Mental Health Really Looks Like for Fathers and Veterans

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the silent battles so many of us fight behind closed doors, especially as fathers, veterans, and men who've been told to "just thought it out". I talk about the weight of wearing the mask, the pressure to be everything to everyone, and the moment I finally broke the silence and chose healing over hiding. 

Whether you're a dad trying to stay strong for your kids, a service member / Veteran navigating life, or someone quietly wrestling with depression or anxiety - this one is for you. I share my journey through darkness, guilt, and growth, and offer a raw reminder that strength isn't in silence - it's in honesty, vulnerability, and the courage to keep showing up.

You are not alone in this fight.
