Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode of Growth Unscripted, we dive deep into the raw truth most men—especially Black men—ain’t saying out loud: healing ain’t always pretty, and protecting your peace? It’ll cost you more than you expected. Devonnte opens up about what it really feels like to set boundaries, walk away from chaos, and finally start choosing yourself — even when it means losing the people you once called home.We talk about the emotional loneliness that comes with growth, the grief of outgrowing relationships, and the unlearning required to love yourself without needing to be needed. This isn’t about sounding strong or looking perfect — this is about naming the pain, honoring your healing, and standing tall in your truth.From spiritual detachment to the reality of being the “strong one” in every space, this episode hits on what it takes to protect your peace and finally meet the version of you that was buried beneath the survival.This one’s for the Black men who feel invisible, exhausted, and are ready to reclaim their softness without shame.
