In this heartfelt episode of Talkin’ Crazy, Demetrius Thigpen (Meech Speaks) opens up about fatherhood, self-doubt, and the importance of protecting your peace.

After hitting 1 million views and celebrating Father’s Day, Meech reflects on his journey from recording in a storage closet to inspiring thousands — and what it truly means to own your space.

He dives into:

• The fear of becoming your father — and breaking that cycle

• What fatherhood has taught him about patience, pride, and purpose

• Why being self-aware can feel like both a gift and a curse

• How to stop shrinking yourself and start owning the room

• The power behind the quote: “Be gentle to your mental.”

This episode is for every man learning to lead, every parent trying to show up, and anyone who’s been too hard on themselves.
