This week on SAUNAIE, we close out Men’s Mental Health Month with a conversation every man needs to hear.

We’re unpacking the hidden weight of being “the strong one” — the brother, father, husband, son, or friend who carries it all but rarely asks for help.

Did you know:

• 72% of Black men report feeling responsible for everyone’s well-being, often at the expense of their own health.

• Men in high-responsibility emotional roles experience 25% higher rates of depression and anxiety.

• Chronic stress from carrying too much increases your risk of heart disease by 33% and can shorten your lifespan by up to 5 years.

It’s time to let go of the guilt, set boundaries, and learn how to stop suffering in silence while showing up for yourself first.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How the “strong one” role is glorified but dangerous

• The mental, physical, and emotional toll it takes on men

• 4 practical ways to break free without guilt

• How to build real support systems and protect your peace

And yo — next week’s episode is gonna hit different.
We’re diving into financial literacy and mental health — breaking down how money stress is wrecking your mental, why we were never taught the game, and how to take control of both your finances and your peace.

Lock in. Share this with a brother who needs it.

In this week’s powerful episode of SAUNAIE, we’re tackling a topic most people avoid: Black men’s childhood trauma.

We unpack the experiences too many of us were forced to bury — from physical abuse to absent fathers to growing up in environments where pain was normalized and emotions were silenced.

Did you know:

• 60% of Black men report experiencing at least one traumatic event in childhood

• Black boys are 3x more likely to experience physical punishment

• Unhealed trauma increases the risk of depression by 300%, anxiety by 250%, and substance abuse by 400%

This episode explores how those wounds follow us into adulthood — affecting our relationships, our mental health, our careers, and how we see ourselves as men.

You’ll learn:

• How childhood trauma shapes your adult life

• What signs to look for in yourself and others

• Practical ways to start healing and redefining manhood

• Why breaking the silence is one of the bravest things you can do

In this week’s episode of SAUNAIE, we’re getting deep into the invisible force that runs your entire life: your identity.

I’ll break down why most people don’t fail because their goals are too big — they fail because their standards are too low.

We’ll unpack:
🔥 Why you don’t rise to your goals — you fall to your standards
🔥 How your identity shapes your habits, your discipline, and your future
🔥 The science behind identity-based habits that actually stick
🔥 How to upgrade the story you tell yourself about who you are

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep falling short of your goals, this episode will connect the dots.

Hit play, take notes, and stay locked in ‘til the end for a sneak peek at next week’s powerful episode on why ‘I’m fine’ is destroying men’s mental health.
