In this first episode of MENTALk, I introduce myself and share a bit about my story and why I started this podcast. I talk about growing up with a disabled mom and an alcoholic dad, spending time in foster care, and dealing with the loss of people I loved—especially my two kids. I've never been diagnosed with depression or PTSD, but I've definitely struggled with both, and this podcast is my way of opening up about all of that.
My goal with MENTALk is to create a space where men can talk about their feelings and break the stigma around mental health. We don’t always get a platform to share our emotions, and I want this to be that space, not just for men but for everyone—women, kids, anyone who wants to understand what we go through. I’m going to share my story over these episodes, but I also want to bring other people on to share theirs, from friends to business owners to anyone who has something important to say.
At the end of the day, if this podcast helps even one person survive, heal, or cope, then I’ll feel like I’ve done my job. So stick with me—I’m going to keep it real, share my journey, and hopefully help someone else through theirs.
