Depression Tells Men to Stay Quiet. We Won't.

In this raw conversation - Goose and Sunshine talk frankly about men’s depression and anxiety—the “black dog,” the heavy-blanket days, the pride that fuels isolation—and the simple, proven actions that bring hope back: say it out loud, call a brother, pray the name of Jesus, lift heavy, get in the woods, show up anyway. We also cover medication without stigma (defibrillator, not forever), faith as a lifeline, and why isolation is terminal.If you’re battling today, this episode is your permission to speak, reach, and move.What you’ll learn • How to break isolation and ask for help without shame • Why talking out loud instantly reduces depression’s power • Practical “today” moves: text a friend, walk a trail, lift heavy, breathe • A faith lens: praying the name of Jesus when words are hard • Medication without stigma (and how/when to revisit it) • How brotherhood (tribe) keeps you from slipping backIf you’re in crisis, you are not alone.
