Ever wondered how cultural conditioning and societal expectations shape men's mental health? 

In this episode, we promise to unravel these complex dynamics with the help of our insightful guests, Onyema Njamma and  Segun Olabode. 

With shared roots in Nigeria, they provide a unique perspective on the mental health challenges men face, touching on financial stability, physical health, and environmental factors. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of how deficiencies in these areas can lead to mental ill health and the importance of recognizing mental health as a vital component of overall well-being.

Join us as we explore the heavy burden of traditional gender roles and the pressures men face to be providers. Onyema and Segun share how these roles, deeply ingrained in Nigerian culture, often lead men to neglect self-care and how these expectations collide with more flexible roles in Western societies. 

Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful discussions, we highlight the struggles men encounter when navigating these conflicting expectations and attempting to balance emotional expression with traditional masculinity.

We also reflect on the evolution of fatherhood and the importance of emotional availability.

 From past conditioning that discouraged men from expressing vulnerability to the significance of supportive roles in modern parenting, our conversation delves into how men can foster better mental health for themselves and their families. 

Tapping into personal stories and societal reflections, we emphasize the critical need for open conversations and support, encouraging a culture of understanding and love for the men and boys in our lives. Listen in for practical insights and heartfelt advice on supporting men's mental health.
