Too many times, as men, we are expected to hold things in. We are expected to always be stoic and a rock that others can depend on. Even though a lot of us try our hardest to be this symbol of strength in our families and communities, it oftentimes leads to burnout, stress, anxiety and depression. Many times, men do not have the tools necessary to express their emotions in an effective way and end up swallowing most of their grief. I am here to tell you - this needs to stop. We all need to understand that men have feelings too and need safe spaces and relationships to do this.
On this week's show, I welcome a great friend, Karanja Ezekiel, to speak on this subject. We met a few years ago and from the moment we met, the words and emotions flowed. We were bonded by the fact that we wanted to be there for each other. We wanted to be someone that the other person could trust with all of our thoughts and emotions. We became such good friends in such a short amount of time that you would have thought we had known each other for decades. I think you will really enjoy this episode.
Warning: this episode does contain some colorful language.
