From social pressure to unspoken shame, this episode takes a deep dive into the emotional and mental weight Black men often feel when life at 30 doesn’t look like what society promised. No spouse. No kids. A career still in progress. Rashad and Izzy speak to the man who feels delayed, discouraged, or stuck. They explore why so many men reject therapy, how culture reinforces the “you should have it all by now” myth, and what it really means to thrive when your timeline doesn’t match your peers’.
Rashad shares how his passion for psychology and counseling helped him shift from surviving to healing. Izzy challenges the lie that men who don’t marry early are broken or bitter, reminding listeners that healing takes time and your pace is not a problem. Together, they also explore biblical truths, pointing out that many great men in Scripture didn’t step into purpose until 30. What if your delay is part of divine timing?
Whether you’re navigating your thirties, battling comparison, or just trying to figure out where you go from here, this episode is for you. You’re not late. You’re just right on time for who you’re becoming. Listen. Reflect. Reinvent your story.
