Emotional Wellness for men
Welcome to Selfed, a unique podcast that delves into the unexplored territory of emotional growth and maturity for men. In a society that often encourages men to be more emotionally expressive and available, we aim to show you what that journey truly looks like. Through real-life experiences, insights, and challenges, we guide men on the path to emotional wellness.
My journey into emotional maturity began through therapy, Yoga Teacher Training, self-help books, and working in spaces typically dominated by women. But what truly transformed my understanding was connecting with other men, hearing their struggles, and having open, honest conversations about the immaturity, avoidance, and ignorance we often face. These discussions were not only eye-opening but also crucial to my own healing and growth.
Selfed is not just a podcast, it's a personal journey that I embarked on during the pandemic. After a pause following my “graduation“ from therapy, I've returned with even greater intention. Whether you're here to listen to the podcast, read our blog, or both, you’ll find a wealth of experiences and resources that I've personally found helpful on my journey of self-discovery and emotional wellness.

SELFED 53: What is Grief in Action
Grief is messy, especially when it lingers for decades. In this episode of Selfed, Courtney Brame unpacks 23 years of unprocessed grief tied to the loss of his grandmother, whose funeral coincided with his 13th birthday. As a Black man, he shares how these emotions intertwine with the protective role his grandmother played in preventing his mother's coerced abortion, and how supporting his girlfriend through her own recent loss brought everything full circle. Listen as Courtney vulnerably navigates what it means to confront grief head-on and turn it into purposeful healing.
These elements should resonate with your audience and connect the themes of grief, healing, and navigating deep emotional layers as a Black man. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!
