Let's Start Healing
In this full-length conversation, I sit down with three men from different generations to talk about what too often goes unsaid — the emotional battles men carry behind the scenes. Russell Murchison, Charles Gilbert and David Thomas speak candidly about the pressure to stay strong, the pain of grief and identity loss, and why being vulnerable can feel so risky. As Black men, they also reflect on the added layers of cultural conditioning and societal expectations; and how those experiences can shape the way Black men navigate emotion, relationships, and healing. In my introduction, I talk...

In this segment on men's mental health, Russell Murchison, Charles Gilbert and David Thomas open up about what males are taught while growing up about emotions and manhood. And how those early lessons during childhood can shape a man's ability to express emotional needs as an adult. From being taught to 'tough it out,' to feeling misunderstood by the women in men's lives, my guests share what gets in the way. This is the third segment of the larger conversation held with my guests. #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #god #godislove #spirituality...

The men share their perspectives on whether women can handle the truth when it comes to men’s inner struggles.

How purpose, passion, and prayer align with divine guidance. In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on the call we each receive — that spiritual pull from God that aligns our purpose, our passion, and our healing. When we ignore that call, we disconnect from who we truly are. But when we answer it, we step into a life of deeper meaning and peace. I also talk about the power of forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, and how honest communication with God through prayer and meditation can transform us from within. If this episode moves you, I invite you to follow the podcast and share it...
