She is not your rehab: How one barbershop sparked a global conversation for men
Description
What if healing didn't begin with blame, but with responsibility?
Matt Brown's journey from a complex childhood in Aotearoa New Zealand to a barbershop chair sparked an unexpected global movement. What began as conversations between men hiding their pain became She Is Not Your Rehab, a call for men to stop outsourcing their emotional wounds to the women in their lives.
Matt shares a powerful story of survival, courage and generational honesty, challenging long-held ideas about masculinity, trauma and accountability. This is a conversation about what happens when men choose to face their own wounds — and how that choice can transform families, communities and futures across the Pacific and beyond.
Listen to this conversation with Stories From the Pacific host Bobby Macumber on ABC Radio Australia.
