From Breakdown to Breakthrough: A Conversation for Men Who Are Hurting Welcome back to the StayMENtallyStrong Podcast, where we hold space for real, raw, and honest conversations about men’s mental health.
In this powerful episode, host Gina Oliverson sits down with psychotherapist, keynote speaker, and author Doug Nielson— a man who has spent decades guiding others through the hardest battles of their lives. Together, they dive deep into the unspoken pain many men carry: the pressure to stay strong, the fear of being a burden, and the quiet isolation that can become overwhelming.
We talk about the warning signs of hidden struggles, how to help someone who won’t open up, and what healing reallylooks like when you're in emotional pain. Doug shares practical strategies for staying grounded, powerful reframes about therapy and masculinity, and a message of hope for anyone standing on the edge.
Whether you're a man in the midst of a storm, someone who loves one, or simply someone who believes it's time to change the narrative around men's mental health — this episode is for you.
Take a breath. Lean in. You’re not alone.
