Welcome back, WIFs!

Grab your coffee and settle in for another cozy chat with Lauren and Michelle. This week, they welcome fellow SJC Wildcat and podcaster Jimmy Maley, from The Maley Way Podcast, for a heartfelt, funny, and refreshingly honest conversation about boys, men, their mental health - and why empathy is actually the most badass trait a man can have.

Together, the trio digs into mental health, Jimmy’s experience with depression, and the tricky space between masculinity and vulnerability. Jimmy opens up about what he’s seeing in young men today and how parents can show up better for their sons. Expect laughter, insight, and a few “huh, that’s so true” moments.

A very cozy thank-you to our sponsor, Let It Be Us, for the beautiful work they’re doing in foster care and adoption across Illinois. And Lizzie Selle Studio for allowing us the opportunity to show off some of her incredible one of a kind creations.

So light a candle, grab your blanket, and press play. This one’s for anyone raising sons, has a man in their life, or just trying to understand them better because the truth is, mental health struggles don’t discriminate.
