Hello and welcome to today’s episode, join host Sarah as she welcomes Ethan A. Poetic, a motivational speaker and mental health advocate who shares his incredible journey from surviving a near-fatal car accident to becoming a beacon of hope for many.
Ethan shared that after his accident he struggled emotionally, especially on anniversaries of the event and only began understanding these feelings after reading about survivor's remorse in an article about himself. Recovery involved rehab, speech therapy, being on a feeding tube and facing family challenges like homelessness due to lack of support from parents dealing with their own trauma.
We discussed men’s mental health, the stigma surrounding vulnerability and how cultural expectations often teach boys not to express emotions or seek help. Healing begins by recognizing pain rather than hiding it.
Listen to this episode and dive deep into our discussions on overcoming adversity, managing survivor's remorse and breaking generational cycles.
In this episode we cover:
● Ethan’s near-fatal car accident and the emotional aftermath.
● The importance of recognizing and breaking familial cycles.
● Cultural perspectives on manhood and emotional openness.
● The impact of Ethan’s book in schools and the community.
