In this powerful comeback episode of SAUNAIE, we explore a topic that impacts countless men but is rarely spoken about — self-worth. Why do so many men silently struggle with feelings of inadequacy, failure, or not being "enough"? And more importantly, how can we take control and reclaim our value?

Join us as we break down:

• The hidden causes of low self-worth in men

• How childhood experiences and social expectations shape your confidence

• The dangers of tying your worth to money, relationships, or career

• Actionable steps to rebuild self-respect, inner peace, and purpose

Whether you're navigating a personal low point or striving to become your best self, this episode will speak to your soul. It's time to rewrite the story you tell yourself and stand in your power.

This week on SAUNAIE, we close out Men’s Mental Health Month with a conversation every man needs to hear.

We’re unpacking the hidden weight of being “the strong one” — the brother, father, husband, son, or friend who carries it all but rarely asks for help.

Did you know:

• 72% of Black men report feeling responsible for everyone’s well-being, often at the expense of their own health.

• Men in high-responsibility emotional roles experience 25% higher rates of depression and anxiety.

• Chronic stress from carrying too much increases your risk of heart disease by 33% and can shorten your lifespan by up to 5 years.

It’s time to let go of the guilt, set boundaries, and learn how to stop suffering in silence while showing up for yourself first.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How the “strong one” role is glorified but dangerous

• The mental, physical, and emotional toll it takes on men

• 4 practical ways to break free without guilt

• How to build real support systems and protect your peace

And yo — next week’s episode is gonna hit different.
We’re diving into financial literacy and mental health — breaking down how money stress is wrecking your mental, why we were never taught the game, and how to take control of both your finances and your peace.

Lock in. Share this with a brother who needs it.

In this week’s powerful episode of SAUNAIE, we’re tackling a topic most people avoid: Black men’s childhood trauma.

We unpack the experiences too many of us were forced to bury — from physical abuse to absent fathers to growing up in environments where pain was normalized and emotions were silenced.

Did you know:

• 60% of Black men report experiencing at least one traumatic event in childhood

• Black boys are 3x more likely to experience physical punishment

• Unhealed trauma increases the risk of depression by 300%, anxiety by 250%, and substance abuse by 400%

This episode explores how those wounds follow us into adulthood — affecting our relationships, our mental health, our careers, and how we see ourselves as men.

You’ll learn:

• How childhood trauma shapes your adult life

• What signs to look for in yourself and others

• Practical ways to start healing and redefining manhood

• Why breaking the silence is one of the bravest things you can do
