The Peace & Prosperity Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation with Jason Phillips, LCSW, licensed therapist and confidence expert in Raleigh, NC, discussing all things related to self-love and self-confidence, and how we can improve ourselves personally and professionally.

What if the drive to be “the best” is really a shield for unhealed pain?

In this episode, we explore how achievement can become armor—hiding grief, loss, and the pressure to stay stoic. From surviving without safe spaces to finally seeking therapy after a breaking point, this conversation sheds light on the quiet struggles many high-achieving Black men face.

We talk about how hypermasculinity, lack of confidentiality in public spaces, and cultural stigma keep men from getting help—and how reframing therapy as strength changes everything. Faith plays a key role here too: trusting that God can work through therapists just as He does through doctors.

You’ll also hear about the “safety bubble,” a family ritual for emotional honesty, and practical ways to create space for healing at home. This is a real conversation about courage, clarity, and what it means to finally set the armor down.

In this episode, Jason sits down with Venus for a raw, honest discussion about burnout, grief, and the cost of always being “the strong one.” Venus opens up about her own experience with burnout—going from managing eight tasks at once to barely handling two—and how that shift forced her to confront her mental health.

They explore how grief shows up in unexpected ways, including the loss of her beloved dog, Coco Chanel, and how society often overlooks that kind of pain. Jason shares reflections from his time in hospice and the personal losses that shaped his healing journey.

Together, they challenge the myth that vulnerability is weakness, offering a powerful reminder: you only get one mind, one body, one life—and it deserves to be cared for.

Rediscovering love after heartbreak can feel impossible, but Jason's Aunt Pam and Uncle Nate’s 25-year relationship proves otherwise. After painful divorces, they built their bond slowly on “the three C’s”: communication, commitment, and compromise—weathering health challenges, insecurities, and disagreements with grace. Their story shows how the right partner can help heal old wounds and create a deeper, more intentional love. As they say, “Life is about living, loving, and laughing.”

Ever said “I’m fine” when you were actually falling apart? That was Jason—managing a clinic and completely burned out without realizing it.

In this episode, Jason shares how to spot burnout early and build sustainable self-care that actually works. Listen now and start your path to peace and prosperity.
