Why do so many men struggle in silence—and what can we do about it?
In this powerful Men’s Health Month episode, host Boysen Hodgson is joined by Julien Devereux, a longtime MKP leader, therapist, and suicide prevention advocate. Together, they unpack the unseen emotional struggles many men carry, even in supportive spaces like men’s circles. Julien shares a proven, structured process to help groups talk openly about suicide and mental health—breaking the silence that often isolates men at their most vulnerable.
We also hear from Andy Miller, who founded the DRM Foundation after losing his 25-year-old son Drew to suicide. Andy’s reflections are raw and human, revealing both the pain of loss and the power of turning grief into action.
This episode is not just about raising awareness—it’s about learning to ask better questions, to create stronger circles of care, and to recognize when a man needs more than just support—he needs real help.
If you’ve ever lost someone to suicide, struggled yourself, or want to be better equipped to show up for the men in your life—this conversation is for you.
