Summary
In this episode Validate Me, Peter Rosenberg sits down with Big E for one of the most open and powerful conversations we've had on the show. Big E reflects on his lifelong battle with depression, the pressure many men feel to stay silent, and the years he spent believing that asking for help was a sign of weakness. Together, he and Peter explore how shame, identity, family, faith, and vulnerability shape the way men learn to deal with pain, and what can happen when we finally decide to talk about it. More than a conversation about mental health, this episode is a reminder that opening up doesn't make you weak. Sometimes it's the strongest thing you can do.
