In this powerful episode, Scott and Jess are joined by Samir Mourani to have an open and vulnerable conversation about men's mental health. They discuss their personal experiences with anxiety, depression, and emotional breakdowns, sharing how they've worked to overcome societal pressures that discourage men from expressing emotions.

A few important topics covered in the episode include:

The importance of having close male friendships where you can be vulnerable
How bottling up emotions often leads to them coming out as anger later
Ways to model healthy masculinity and emotional expression for children
The healing power of therapy, medication, and having a supportive partner
Finding hope even in the darkest moments of mental health struggles

This raw and honest discussion aims to reduce the stigma around men's mental health and encourage listeners to seek help if they're struggling. This conversation is an uplifting reminder that no one is alone in these challenges.
