Born in the Caribbean, Andre followed the path that many expected of him: he married a woman, became a father, and tried to live the “normal” life. But beneath the surface was a truth he could no longer suppress: he wa...

Behind the jokes, the grind, and the “I’m good, bro” smiles, too many men are quietly fighting battles no one sees. Depression doesn’t always look like tears; sometimes, it looks like distance. It looks like a man showing up every day, holding it together for everyone else, while falling apart inside. In this episode of The Strpd Club, I strip away the mask that too many men are forced to wear, unpacking what it truly feels like to...

In a world where “forever” feels more like a fantasy than a promise, this episode of The Strpd Club peels back the layers on love, commitment, and the modern idea of marriage.

In this powerful and introspective episode of The Strpd Club, we dive deep into one of the most complicated relationships men have, the one between money and identity. For generations, success has been defined by what’s in a man’s wallet, his income, his assets, his job title. But at what point does that pursuit become toxic? When does ambition turn into ego? We unpack the unspoken pressure men feel to earn, provide, and dominate, ...

This week on The Strpd Club, I sit down with author and speaker David Brunson, the man behind the powerful book I See You Brotha. In this conversation, we dive deep into his journey, why he wrote the book, the stories behind it, and the message he hopes to share with men everywhere.

We talk about identity, brotherhood, vulnerability, and the struggles men often face in silence. David opens up about his own experiences and challenges...

This version of me? It’s not the end. It’s the rebuild. In this episode of The Strpd Club, I open up about the messy middle, the in-between space where you’re no longer who you were but not yet who you’re becoming. After loss, heartbreak, divorce, or any major shift, it’s easy to feel stuck or question your worth. But this isn’t the final chapter… it’s just part of the transformation. This one is for anyone who’s still healing, sti...

We’ve all asked the question. Is this real love… or just what I want it to be? In this episode of The Strpd Club, I get real about what love looks like before healing… and how that affects who we choose, what we accept, and the pain we call passion. From confusing chemistry with connection to staying in situations out of fear, comfort, or the illusion of love... I share the raw truth behind my own experiences. This one is for anyon...

We’ve been told that strength means silence. That being soft makes you less of a man. That showing emotion somehow strips you of your masculinity. But what if softness is actually the strongest thing you can lead with? In this episode of The Strpd Club, I peel back another layer and talk about the quiet power in vulnerability. I reflect on the ways I used to armor up to survive and how choosing softness has allowed me to live. From...

This one comes from a deep place. I grew up with a father who was present but not fully available. The silence. The distance. The emotional gaps. It shaped me more than I realized. Now, as a father myself, I find myself trying to become something I never had. No blueprint. No example. Just a commitment to break cycles and show up differently. This episode is about the internal battle so many men face, trying to be a present, loving...

This one’s real. And if I’m honest, it’s a truth a lot of us men carry quietly.I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was using love to heal wounds I hadn’t even named yet. Jumping into relationships hoping someone else’s love could fix what I hadn’t taken the time to face. It wasn’t intentional; it was survival. A way to avoid the silence, the reflection, and the pain.But here’s the thing: when you love before you’re healed, you b...

In this episode, I open up about one of the most difficult realities of co-parenting: when your kids start feeling the shift in someone’s energy, and you can no longer ignore what their silence is telling you. This isn’t about blaming or bashing. It’s about choosing to protect your children’s peace, even when it means making uncomfortable decisions. If you’ve ever had to advocate for your kids in a situation that used to feel like ...

Episode 4 – Losing Everything Saved My Life

Sometimes it takes losing everything you thought you couldn’t live without to finally discover who you are. I didn’t walk away; she did. And in that moment, it felt like my entire world collapsed. But in the quiet aftermath, I began to see the truth: that hitting rock bottom wasn’t the end, it was the beginning of finding myself.

In this episode, I share how losing everything I held onto ac...

What do you do when the relationship you built your life around starts to feel like a prison?

In this episode, I open up about the hard truth of staying in a marriage long after the love stopped feeling safe. I share how I ignored the signs, tried to fix what was broken, and lost myself in the process. This isn’t about blame; it’s about reflection. About realizing that love without freedom, peace, or growth… isn’t love at all.

At 17, I left my home in Trinidad with nothing but two suitcases and a soccer scholarship.
