In this episode, we unpack the powerful blog that sparked deep conversationsabout grief, health, and what it means to take care of yourself when yourbiggest supporter is no longer here. The discussion centers around the story ofCarlos Wallace’s journey after losing his mother and how that loss became aturning point in how he approached health and manhood.
We talk about what happens when the “healthcall” you used to make to your mom is no longer an option. About the way Blackmen often suffer in silence. About how generational strength has sometimesmeant avoiding vulnerability. And about how that silence is slowly killing us.
The episode also dives into real strategies, likethe role of community, trusted friends, and even juicing; to reclaim wellnessand take ownership of our health. You will hear how one man’s transparencybecame a blueprint for others trying to live longer, love deeper, and lead byexample.
