Jodie Smith Season 2 Episode 23

On Episode 23 of The Heart Helper Podcast, we welcome Tre "Harold" Martin, the author of "I'm Just Talking To Myself...: But If You're Reading This...I Hope It Helps". In honor of Men's Mental Health Awareness Month this June, we delve into the crucial topics of providing men with outlets for their emotions, the role of father figures, and the journey of healing trauma.
