Episode 2: Black Men, Healing & Trust — Therapy and Beyond

In this second episode of Heartical Talks, we take things in a slightly different direction.
This one is for Black men, and for everyone who loves us and wants the best for us.

I explore the realities behind why so many Black men lose their smile, through the pressures, unspoken pain, and expectations we carry. We talk about trust: how it’s built, how it’s broken, and how therapy can help us reconnect with parts of ourselves we’ve had to hide.

From vulnerability and healing, to brotherhood and cultural barriers, this episode dives into what it truly means to rebuild as a Black man in today’s world, not just surviving, but learning to smile again.

It’s a heartfelt reflection on identity, emotional honesty, and the power of healing in safe spaces.

Episode 1: My journey to Therapy

In this very first episode of Heartical Talks, I take you on my personal journey into counselling.

I share how my early dreams of becoming a footballer shifted after facing trauma, how my first experience with therapy changed my life, and what it really takes to train and grow as a therapist.

Along the way, I reflect on cultural challenges, impostor syndrome, and why traits like empathy and care matter even more than qualifications.

This episode is not just about my path; it’s about opening up the world of therapy, breaking stigma, and starting honest conversations about healing, especially in the Black community.
