Each episode offers honest, culturally rooted conversations about what it means to navigate the world as a Black man — while carrying history, surviving systems, and reclaiming peace. We explore mental health not as a problem to fix, but as a blueprint to build upon: a guide toward clarity, resilience, emotional literacy, and deeper connection. This podcast brings together voices from the community — professionals, fathers, sons, mothers, thinkers, artists, and everyday people — unpacking real-life issues like generational trauma, masculinity, love, fatherhood, rage, and recovery. Part reflection, and call to action, we’re rewriting the script and redefining strength on our own terms. Whether you&#39;re on the edge of burnout, in the middle of a breakthrough, or just beginning the work, you&#39;re not alone. This is for us. This is about us. This is On Being Black Men.</p><p>Watch or listen to more episodes of On Being Black Men: A Blueprint For Power and Purpose:</p><p> * YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@FredrickBush-o1d" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@FredrickBush-o1d</a></p><p> * Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-being-black-men-a-blueprint-for-power-and-purpose/id1855911140" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-being-black-men-a-blueprint-for-power-and-purpose/id1855911140</a></p><p> * Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5Pzo7xvNckc3Po4YUq8DNI" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/show/5Pzo7xvNckc3Po4YUq8DNI</a></p><p> * Follow Eidolon Therapeutic Counseling, LLC on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/eidolon-therapeutic-counseling-llc" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/company/eidolon-therapeutic-counseling-llc</a></p><p> * Follow the podcast on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578821217606" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578821217606</a></p><p> * Follow Fredrick on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fbushobbm" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/fbushobbm</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect and learn more from your host, Fredrick Bush, LCSW:</p><p> * Connect with Fredrick on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrick-bush-lcsw-2b664122" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrick-bush-lcsw-2b664122</a></p><p> * Visit Eidolon Therapeutic Counseling, LLC’s website: <a href="https://www.eidolon.help" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.eidolon.help</a></p><p>Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.
