Episode 4 – The Light Within: Black Men & the Silent Struggle

Hosted by Sharelle Owens | @beyondthedarkness_podcast

This episode is a healing space for Black men carrying silent battles.

We talk emotional armor, father wounds, the fear of vulnerability, and the beauty of learning to feel again. From survival to softness—this isn’t just a podcast, it’s a return to the light within.

💭 Topics:

• Emotional suppression

• Fatherhood & generational silence

• Therapy & trust

• Love, intimacy & healing

• Affirmations for Black men

You are seen. You are worthy. You are still here.

Is it possible to give love when you’re still trying to put the pieces of yourself back together?

In this deeply personal episode, Sharelle opens up about the struggle of loving while healing — and what it really looks like to show up for someone when you’re still learning how to show up for yourself. Whether you’re recovering from heartbreak, processing trauma, or simply navigating your own emotional growth, this conversation is for you.

We often hear that we should be “whole” before entering a relationship. But what if healing doesn’t follow a straight line? What if love finds you mid-chaos, not post-breakthrough?

This episode explores the myth of being fully ready, the danger of overcompensating, and how to set boundaries without closing your heart.

💬 You’ll hear:

• Why emotional honesty is more powerful than perfection
• The difference between love as medicine vs. love as a mirror
• How to communicate your needs without guilt
• Signs your relationship supports your healing — or hinders it

Can love carry us through the weight of depression—or are we asking too much from it? In this honest and emotional episode, Sharelle explores how mental health impacts connection, how to love without losing yourself, and when love supports healing… and when it doesn’t. Includes real talk, red flags, and affirmations for your heart.
