What if the story you’ve been hiding is the one that could save someone’s life?

In this unfiltered solo episode of the Raw Minds Podcast, host Erick closes out Men’s Mental Health Month with the most personal message he’s ever recorded.

This isn’t a conversation.
It’s a lifeline — for the men still suffering in silence.
For the fathers trying to heal while raising kids.
For the sons drowning in pressure.
For the broken-hearted who never found the words.
And for the ones we’ll never meet — but fight for anyway.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode talks about suicide, grief, fatherhood, trauma, addiction, and healing. If you're going through it, please don’t go through it alone.
