The Weight of Shame: Gay, Latinx, and Finding Your Way Back to Yourself – Lucas Saiter

Why is it still so hard to just be in your own skin when you’re a gay Latinx man? From religious guilt to macho pressure, the layers of shame and silence can run deep. In this episode, therapist and NYU instructor Lucas Saiter joins us to unpack the mental health challenges gay Latinx men face—and how we can finally stop carrying everyone else's expectations. Lucas brings powerful insight as a clinician, Latinx gay man, and community builder. From healing identity wounds to rebuilding intimate connections, he’s helping men take off the mask and find real belonging—in themselves and in their communities. If you've ever felt like you're too much or not enough, this one's for you. In this episode we:
  • Learn how to close the gap between shame and self-lov
  • Break the patterns of it being rude or disrespectful to discuss mental health in the Latinx world
  • Discover how vulnerability is a superpower
