In this episode, Felicia Marie shares her powerful journey of overcoming a history of extreme trauma, addiction, and toxic cycles. From the outside, she was a mother of four and a high-achieving entrepreneur, but internally, she was battling compounded traumas and a nervous system in survival mode.

As a certified hypnotherapist, Felicia explains what began to change for her when she discovered the power of subconscious reprogramming. She discusses how shifting the internal "filter" of our reality can lead to profound changes in wealth, leadership, and personal peace.

Why men often struggle in silence

The pressure to appear fine

In this episode, Jeff Lowe shares his experience with struggling in silence for years.

From the outside, his life looked normal. He was working, providing, and showing up for his family. But internally, he was dealing with pain that no one could see.

Jeff talks about what led him to one of the lowest points of his life and the moment that shifted everything.

This conversation highlights a reality many men face but rarely talk about. The pressure to hold everything in, avoid showing emotion, and keep moving forward no matter what.

Jeff explains what began to change for him, what helped him start working through it, and why having people around you matters more than most realize.

In this episode of the Stay Mentally Strong Podcast, we sit down with Jaxon Smith, a young leader who is redefining what men's mental health support can look like.

Instead of waiting for men to reach a breaking point, Jaxon created a community built around something powerful but often missing in today's world: brotherhood. Through his Men's Mental Health Community Club, guys gather in a place most wouldn't expect: Costco. No formal setting. No pressure. Just men walking side by side, talking, connecting, and realizing they're not alone.

In this conversation, we explore why informal spaces can open doors that traditional settings sometimes can't, how community and accountability help men grow, and why connection might be one of the most important tools we have in preventing mental health crises.

This episode is about leadership, vulnerability, and the next generation of men choosing connection over silence.

If you're a man who has ever felt like you had to carry everything on your own, or someone who wants to better support the men in your life, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, JR Harvey shares his personal journey of being humbled by life and how those moments became the foundation for rebuilding his strength, purpose, and identity. As a husband, father, and leadership coach, JR opens up about the realities men often carry in silence and the courage it takes to face adversity instead of running from it.

Together, we explore what it truly means to redefine strength—not as the absence of struggle, but as the willingness to take ownership, seek connection, and grow through hardship. JR speaks about fatherhood, legacy, emotional resilience, and the importance of creating spaces where men feel seen, respected, and challenged to become better. Through his work with the Kings Community, he helps men move beyond shame and isolation toward integrity, leadership, and purpose.

This conversation is for the man who feels broken, stuck, or unsure of who he is becoming. It's a reminder that breakdowns do not define you—but they can refine you. Your worth is not lost in your lowest moments, and rebuilding is always possible. Healing starts with ownership, connection, and the decision to rise again.

Gina sits down with Chris Magleby, CEO and Co-Founder of Mindless Labs, a mental health support platform designed to help people get support before they hit rock bottom. Through guided tools, expert content, emotional check-ins, and an apparel-driven mission, Mindless Labs exists to help people become mentally healthy and radically alive.

Chris shares his personal story of struggling silently while appearing successful on the outside — something many men experience. He opens up about how close he came to losing his life, and how small steps like prioritizing sleep helped him begin rebuilding his mental health. From that breaking point, Mindless Labs was born.

This conversation is about recognizing signs earlier, building support systems sooner, and changing the narrative around men's mental health. Asking for help isn't a weakness. It's strength.

In this episode, we go somewhere many men are afraid to go — into the quiet battles fought behind closed doors.

We sit down with Mason Haycock, a husband and father who shares his personal journey through unhealthy coping mechanisms, addiction, and the shame that often keeps men stuck in silence. Mason speaks candidly about the cycles he found himself trapped in, the moment he realized something had to change, and the hard, honest work it took to rebuild his life through accountability, mental health support, and purpose-driven living. Today, Mason shares his story with youth groups, encouraging young men to overcome the "natural man" and live with integrity and intention.

Mason's wife, Bonnie Haycock, joins the conversation as well, offering a powerful and grounded perspective on what it looks like to struggle together, heal together, and rebuild trust within a marriage. Her voice brings depth, compassion, and honesty to the realities of walking alongside someone in recovery.

This episode addresses difficult but necessary topics, including pornography, without excusing the behavior or shaming the individual. We discuss how many men are exposed at a young age, long before they are equipped with healthy education or tools, and why open, candid conversations are essential if we want to prepare the next generation and support those already caught in the cycle.

This is a raw, real conversation about responsibility, compassion, faith, and hope. If you've ever struggled with unhealthy habits, addiction, or shame, or if you love someone who has, this episode is for you.

Healing is possible. Help exists. And no one has to walk this road alone.

What does it look like when men stop talking about change — and start moving toward it?

In this episode of the Stay Mentally Strong Podcast, we sit down with Robb, founder of Walk With Me Brother, who is preparing to walk 3,000 miles across America in just 75 days.

This isn't about endurance or athletic achievement. It's about movement — physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural. Robb shares why he's taking this journey on foot, how silence around men's mental health is costing lives, and why showing up consistently matters more than having all the answers.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Robb's story — and the why behind his walk

• How movement and connection can be powerful medicine

• Turning intention into action, one step at a time

• Why getting help matters — and how it can truly save lives

This conversation is a reminder that strength isn't staying quiet — it's choosing to move forward, together.

In today's episode, we sit down with Tyson Allred — father of six, author of A Father's Guide for Mental Health, host of Dad Bods and Beards, and team leader of the I Love You Bro men's group in Ogden — to talk honestly about what modern fatherhood does to a man's mental health.

Tyson shares how becoming a dad reshaped his relationship with himself, the unique pressures fathers face today, and the moment he realized men needed a different kind of mental health conversation — one rooted in honesty, community, and realism. We talk burnout, expectations, self-care that actually works when you're exhausted, and why connection with other men can be life-changing.

This episode is for dads who are tired, overwhelmed, trying to be strong for everyone else — and quietly wondering where they fit in all of it.

You're not weak for feeling it.
You're not alone.
And you don't have to do this by yourself.
