    Manning Up Looks Different: Mental health isn’t a weakness — silence is...

    In this powerful episode of AIMing Beyond the Label, we take a deep dive into the mental health challenges men face across every life stage — from early boyhood to late adulthood. Along the way, we explore the silent pressures, the cultural expectations, and the emotional isolation that too often go unspoken. But this conversation doesn’t just stay theoretical. We’re joined by our editor, Chad Juniper, who shares his own vulnerable journey with mental health — how he was raised, how silence shaped him, and how he's now rewriting the script for the next generation. From childhood suppression to adult self-awareness, Chad opens up about the work he's doing to create space for emotional honesty within his family. Together, we unpack what it truly means to “man up” — and how strength is found not in hiding pain, but in sharing it. If you’ve ever wondered how to support the men in your life — or if you're a man navigating your own healing — this episode is for you.
