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 50: Exploring Vulnerability and Curiosity - My 8 Mile Episode
I’ve been in these spaces that don’t seem made for me—yoga, anime, nonprofits—and I’m tired of hiding who I am just because I don’t see anyone like me there. This episode is me saying, ‘Here I am, take me or leave me.’ Vulnerability has to be part of the conversation, especially for the Black men who feel like they don’t belong in these places. Let’s stop hiding.
