What happens when the person everyone looks up to is quietly falling apart?
In this episode of Mental Health and Business, Dr. Nicholas Samstag sits down with holistic health coach Ryan Hodgson for a raw and powerful conversation about burnout, fatherhood, and the moment that changed everything — when his young daughter asked, “Mommy, why is Daddy always sad?”
Ryan shares how he went from running a thriving fitness business to confronting his own mental health crisis, and how therapy, vulnerability, and curiosity helped him rebuild from the inside out.
They explore the pressure high achievers face, the stigma around men’s mental health, and why taking care of your mind is just as essential as taking care of your body.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of success or struggled behind a polished exterior, this conversation is for you.
