Have you ever stopped and wondered, "Do I love myself?" That's a question that the actor Zachary Levi had to ask not long after he seriously contemplated suicide. Thanks in large part to therapy and self-care Zach has come out from under his dark days to tell his story of survival and he wants you to know this: no matter who you are, no matter how you feel about yourself, you are worthy of love, too. 

In this episode of The Conversation's special series, "About the Men?," Amanda speaks to Zach about the difficult journey he took to find inner peace. It's a topic that he writes about with great passion in "Radical Love," his memoir about his struggles with overwhelming depression and anxiety.

A warning to listeners, this episode deals with themes of depression and suicide. If you are contemplating suicide, help is just a free call away. Just dial 988 from any phone in the United States to get the help you need.

Sure, we get it, you might think reality tv shows like The Bachelor are staged, but if you were to ask Nick Viall who starred in both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette he'd say otherwise. The world of reality tv might be a setup, but the emotions, Nick says, are real. And, when you stop and think about that for a minute, you might start to see that shows like The Bachelor aren't that different from single life on the dating apps. Fortunately, Nick has some advice for you, he's taken away a lot of hard earned lessons from his adventures in love -- he's even written a new book about it -- and that's why he's Amanda's guest for her continuing series "The Conversation: About the Men?" A rose to you dear listener for pressing play on this one!

'The Conversation About the Men' was created to provide an opportunity to show another side of men that we may not always get the chance to see…and this has never been on display more than when Amanda sits down with Matthew McConaughey. 

Matthew talks about growing up in a household of domestic violence, being victimized at a young age and how he refuses to allow his emotional baggage to drag him down. It's apparent that his inspirational attitude serves as self-motivation as he explains how his own childhood has paved the way he and his wife raise their children and how he continues to come from a place of trust with everyone he meets.
