In this episode, host Eryn Foster gets personal, sharing his own story of trauma and healing to tackle a topic too often left in the shadows: men's mental health. The culture of "manning up" and "toughing it out" has left a generation of men carrying burdens in silence. But what if we've got it all wrong? What if the most courageous act isn't holding it all in, but letting it out?

Eryn challenges the myth that vulnerability is a weakness, arguing it's a profound act of strength. He breaks down the subtle signs of silent struggle, offers practical steps for finding help, and reflects on the powerful role of humor and faith in the healing process.

This is a raw, honest conversation for anyone who has felt the pressure to pretend they're fine when they're not. Tune in to learn why your struggles don't make you weak, and how taking that first step toward healing might just be the bravest thing you ever do.
