Why Men Struggle to Talk About Their Mental Health - Samir Mourani

If you’ve ever wondered why so many men struggle to say what they feel, this conversation will hit home.

Dr. Jody talks with Samir Mourani about men’s mental health, grief, masculinity, fatherhood, and the trauma that gets carried quietly from one generation to the next. Samir shares the impact of his family’s experience fleeing civil war in Lebanon, his father’s PTSD and anger, losing his dad just before becoming a father himself, and what that has changed in the way he sees men, boys, and emotional connection.

They also unpack loneliness, why vulnerability can’t be manufactured, what Samir has learned through Gent’s Talk, and how honest conversation becomes a lifeline when people are starved for real connection.

You’ll hear practical insight on what boys actually need, why one conversation is never enough, and how we build cultures at home, at school, and at work where men don’t have to carry everything alone.

They also touch on burnout and Samir’s wellness-workspace project, Balance, designed to help people regulate without having to choose between their health and their work.
