Send us a textWhat if society's expectations were the biggest barrier to mental well-being? Join me, Asekho Toto, as we unravel the complex relationship between societal norms and men's mental health. This episode of Mental Metals is a heartfelt conversation about the silent struggles men face in expressing their emotions, often hindered by stigma and cultural conditioning. We'll explore the strides made in breaking these barriers and encouraging dialogue that promotes a broader understanding of mental health as a universal concern. Our discussion is not just about acknowledging these challenges but also about advocating for a cultural shift toward a more open and supportive approach to mental well-being.

In our journey, we confront the realities of accessing mental health care and the barriers of affordability that many face. Together, we'll explore the crucial role therapy plays and consider alternative, more accessible ways to support mental health. Alongside, I share personal insights from my own mental health journey, illustrating how therapy and an integrative wellness approach have been instrumental during pivotal life changes. The conversation also highlights the importance of cultural competence in therapy, ensuring that people of color find understanding and support. This episode is a call to action for greater accessibility and support for those carrying unspoken traumas.
