Boys (and men) need space to process and talk about their emotions. They sometimes need different entry points into talking. Drawing from Better Boys, Better Men by Andrew Reiner, Raising White Kids by Jennifer Harvey, and Decoding Boys by Cara Natterson, we share practical ways to foster inclusion, model respect, and encourage emotional growth in young men.
If you’re raising, mentoring, or influencing boys, this episode is a must-listen.

🩺 Racism in healthcare is real—and it’s costing lives. From medical bias to disparities in treatment and access, the system isn’t built equally for everyone. Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color face higher mortality rates, misdiagnoses, and dismissal of their pain. This isn’t just history—it’s happening now.
So how do we change it? Awareness is the first step. Advocacy and systemic change must follow. Every person deserves quality care, respect, and to be heard by their doctors.
Let’s talk about it. ⬇️ What changes do you think need to happen?
