Episode 4: Men’s Mental Wellness: Be the Boots to break the Cycle!

Hi Friends, it’s Pooja Desai👠—your Heels on the Ground.

In this special episode, I’m joined by two of the most important men in my life: my husband and co-host Vivek Desai🥾, and my dear friend of over 40 years, Julio Monroy🥾.

We’re talking about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: men’s mental wellness.

Julio and I grew up together, literally across the street. We’ve seen each other through childhood, careers, heartbreaks, and victories. Now, as a professor and executive, he opens up about what mental wellness means to him as a man—especially in a world that hasn’t always made space for vulnerability.

We get real about what it means to show up emotionally—for yourself, your family, your team—and why mentorship, community, and honest conversations are everything.

If you’re raising sons, love someone who’s struggling, or are a man learning to prioritize your own wellness, I hope you’ll join us. This episode is full of heart, reflection, and a reminder that no one should carry it all alone.

Listen now and share it with the men you love.
