A Man's Health: Crisis, Choice, and Courage | S01 E10

In a shocking turn of events, host Chris gets brutally honest about facing his recent cancer diagnosis and a sudden parental loss in the same week. No sugarcoating. No pretending. 100% real. In this season finale, Freddy, Wes, and Smit interview Chris about his choice to pursue alternative treatments, confront the belief that asking for help is weakness, and navigate compounding grief while fighting for his life. They explore Chris' journey of navigating his emotions leading up to and following his diagnosis, his decision to choose a different path than standard care, and what his dad's story taught him about male isolation and silence. This conversation exposes the myths that kill men — literally. Your health is your foundation. Without it, nothing else matters. If you're struggling physically or mentally, this episode might just save your life.

Masculinity & Media: Shaping Bodies & Beliefs | S01 E09

Ever wonder why you think you need to look like a superhero to be masculine? Host Dr. Freddy explores how Hollywood, sports, and media shape what we think it means to be a man. From He-Man cartoons to Marvel movies, we're bombarded with narrow definitions of masculinity that often leave us feeling inadequate. Wes, Chris, Smit, & Freddy get real about muscle dysmorphia, body image struggles, and how advertising literally depends on making us feel not good enough. But what if you could define masculinity for yourself instead of letting media do it for you? Time to let go of the stories you've been sold. Credit: Clip from Queen Sugar.

Television, Harpo Films, and ARRAY Filmworks Network: OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) Based on the novel by: Natalie Baszile.

How Inner Child Work Heals Men | S01 E08

What if your wounded inner child is still running the show? Host Wes guides a conversation with Chris, Smit, & Freddy on one of the most transformative practices in inner work: connecting with your inner child. At their core, children are playful, creative, and loving. But somewhere along the way, we get wounded and inherit stories that shape how we move through the world. Here's the thing: those stories don't stay in the past. Your inner child is a very real part of you today. And they’re absolutely influencing your relationships, decisions, and self-worth.  Wes guides Chris to reconnect with his younger self and offer the love and wisdom that little boy always deserved. This isn't just therapy talk. It's practical healing work that can transform how you show up today. Remember: Your inner child is perfectly lovable, exactly as they are.

How Men Can Overcome Their Parental Wounds | S01 E07

What if the way your parents raised you is still running your life? Host Chris guides a raw conversation about mother wounds and father wounds: the deep patterns that shape how we show up in relationships, work, and as men. This isn't about blame. It's about honoring the past, so you can transform the future. These wounds manifest as everything from people-pleasing to emotional shutdown, from fear of intimacy to workaholic tendencies. Smit, Freddy, Wes, & Chris explore how unresolved parental issues dictate our adult lives and what it takes to break free. You can't heal what you don't acknowledge. This episode is for men ready to stop letting their past control their future and become the partners, fathers, and leaders they're meant to be.
