Brock’s taking time to recover from surgery, so we let Danny off the chain to run wild and free into #movember. Warning to some listeners, as we talk about abuse, neglect, abandonment, and mental health throughout this episode.

Movember https://us.movember.com/is a non-profit organization focused on changing the face of men’ health. With their slogan of, “Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent”, they tackle the big issues facing men that many of us never want to talk about. Testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health, and suicide.

Tonight, we talk with Scotty Schrier, longtime contributor to The Good Men Project, prolific blogger, and an abuse survivor. Scotty has made his voice known across multiple platforms, and is looking to help others understand that we need to talk about our emotions, and our abuse, in order to recover from it.

Brock is having surgery! A shoulder injury is not something to just walk off, so he’s taking care of himself so he can continue to take care of his family. Playing hurt is easier, and with small things, it can be a great teacher for life. But don’t muscle through an actual injury. Your body needs time to heal, dads! 

We also talk about #movember, a non-profit that works to educate men about testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health, and suicide awareness. https://us.movember.com/ and https://tilvalhallaproject.com/ And a new suicide hotline has been approved nationally to make calling for help simpler.
