She's a young woman who wrote a book about men's wounds. And she believes men should NOT ask women for help. Here's why. In this provocative, deeply insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Ophirbia Kwansa, published author, ghostwriter, and social emotional learning facilitator, for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about masculinity, healing, and who men should turn to when they're broken. Ophirbia just wrote For Him: The Man Becoming, a book that speaks directly into the wounds, pressures, and private struggles of men. And she's unapologetic about it. She reveals why God gave her the assignment, the moment her father set the standard for what healthy masculinity looks like, why most men are raised by enablers who tell them nothing is ever a big deal, and the shocking reality that when men ask women for help, they often get mothered, pitied, or worse, dated. She also explains why wounds give you both a scar and resilience, how men blur the lines with every woman they meet and miss out on their intelligence, and the one phrase every man needs to hear: you have the power to decide what your wounds become in your life. This isn't just about men's issues. It's a masterclass in self assessment, relearning broken narratives, and why admitting you're wrong is not weakness but strength. Ophirbia breaks down why men don't understand the impact of their presence, how the absence of a father creates a void that predators can see, and why most men are stuck in their minds because they don't know their purpose beyond provision. She also shares the controversial take that most women don't know how to speak to the leader in a man, why showing is better than telling, and the one chapter in her book that reveals why your life is not just about you. If you're a man who's been told to keep quiet, bottle it in, or man up, this conversation will give you permission to heal. If you're a woman trying to help the man in your life, this will show you exactly where you've been getting it wrong. And if you're raising a son, this is the roadmap you didn't know you needed.
