Back to EpisodesEpisode 56: When “I’m Fine” Isn’t Fine - Men’s Mental Health with John Shearer
Description
Men are often taught to push through, stay strong, and keep their emotions to themselves—but that silence comes at a cost.
In this episode, we’re joined by John Shearer, owner of Kickstart Men's Therapy, for an honest and compassionate conversation about men’s mental health. We explore why so many men struggle in silence, how stigma and traditional masculinity shape emotional expression, and how this impacts not only them but those around them.
Together we talk about relationships, fatherhood, identity, and what actually helps when men decide to seek support.
Whether you’re a man navigating your own mental health, love someone who is, or want to better understand the barriers men face when it comes to emotional well-being, this episode offers validation, perspective, and hope.
