In this deeply vulnerable episode of Unplug with Mel, I sit down with Jay Whitlow — missional intrapreneur, life achiever, and debut author of The Echo Between Hope and Healing.

We talk about the quiet battles men aren’t often given space to voice — especially the emotional and identity-shaking weight of male infertility. Jay opens up about the pain of seeking approval, the dark nights of feeling like less than enough, and the unraveling that can happen when manhood is tied to performance and legacy.

But this story doesn’t stop at brokenness. It moves — powerfully — into purpose. Jay shares how God moved through adoption, reshaping his view of fatherhood, faith, and identity. What once felt like loss became a calling.

If you’ve ever wrestled with grief, masculinity, or what it means to live a life aligned with mission — this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.
