Hosted by radio and TV personality Peter Rosenberg, who’s lived the highs of applause and the crash that follows, the show features honest conversations with experts and listeners about relationships, fame, social media, shame, and identity. No easy answers, just a real look at what happens when validation becomes the drug. Hosted on Acast.

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.
