This episode is Part 2 of our 2-part conversation with writer and coach Omar Ferraira of A Soul’s Quest. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there—we explore life transitions, identity, and what it means to go on your own hero’s journey.
In this second half, we’re turning toward men’s mental health, emotional resilience, and what it takes to find your footing when life has fallen apart. Omar opens up about his personal story, the quiet suffering many men carry, and how imagination, values, and inner discipline can begin to heal what feels broken.
This is a powerful episode that honors Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month—and speaks to anyone who’s ever felt like they’re quietly crumbling inside.
💬 In this episode:
- What keeps men from asking for help
- The emotional cost of trying to “hold it all together”
- Why imagination is key to mental well-being
- Reclaiming identity and self-worth after loss
- A vision-forward approach to healing for men
