In this heart-opening episode, I sit down Jim "JR" Rinere, an entrepreneur, c-suite executive, professional speaker, and author of There’s Coffee in the Fridge, to explore the courage it takes to stay, heal, and to find joy again.

It's an honest and powerful conversation about the pervasiveness and impact of mental health on our boys, young men, and adult men in the U.S.

JR shares his journey through childhood trauma, depression, and a suicide attempt—and how small, sacred moments like a simple message from his wife became lifelines of love and hope.

Together, we explore:

  • The pressures men face to suppress emotion—and what it costs them
  • How trauma can show up decades later, disguised as success or numbness
  • Why self-forgiveness and emotional honesty are revolutionary acts
  • The life-changing power of mindfulness and meaningful connection
  • The metaphor behind “There’s coffee in the fridge”

JR’s message is clear: Healing is possible. Joy is possible. And love—especially for yourself—is always within reach.

Whether you’re walking through your own hard season or holding space for someone else, this is a story that reminds us: it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s more than okay to ask for help.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes references to depression, sexual abuse, and suicide. These moments are shared with care and compassion, but may be difficult for some listeners. Please take care of yourself as you listen. If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the free and confidential Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7.
