EP. 287: The Hidden Cost of Being “The Strong One” — Why Carrying It All Is Breaking You Down

EP. 287: The Hidden Cost of Being “The Strong One” — Why Carrying It All Is Breaking You Down

This week on SAUNAIE, we close out Men’s Mental Health Month with a conversation every man needs to hear.

We’re unpacking the hidden weight of being “the strong one” — the brother, father, husband, son, or friend who carries it all but rarely asks for help.

Did you know:

  • 72% of Black men report feeling responsible for everyone’s well-being, often at the expense of their own health.

  • Men in high-responsibility emotional roles experience 25% higher rates of depression and anxiety.

  • Chronic stress from carrying too much increases your risk of heart disease by 33% and can shorten your lifespan by up to 5 years.

It’s time to let go of the guilt, set boundaries, and learn how to stop suffering in silence while showing up for yourself first.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How the “strong one” role is glorified but dangerous

  • The mental, physical, and emotional toll it takes on men

  • 4 practical ways to break free without guilt

  • How to build real support systems and protect your peace

And yo — next week’s episode is gonna hit different.
We’re diving into financial literacy and mental health — breaking down how money stress is wrecking your mental, why we were never taught the game, and how to take control of both your finances and your peace.

Lock in. Share this with a brother who needs it.
