**Trigger Warning: References of suicide.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Lee Howes opens up about the layered grief of divorce—the death of a marriage, the shattering of family life, and the identity crisis that follows. He shares the pain of losing his grandfather—his mentor, his best friend, and the man who guided him through life with wisdom and love.

Lee speaks candidly about the resistance he felt toward therapy, the fear of being truly seen, and the silence that often surrounds men’s emotional pain. He explores how difficult it is to reach out, even to those closest to us, and the courage it takes to lean into vulnerability instead of running from it.

But this conversation is also about hope. Lee recounts the message he received from his grandfather that became the turning point—the call that made him stop merely surviving and start truly living again.

This is an episode for anyone who has experienced loss, who struggles to open up, or who needs a reminder that it's never too late to reclaim your life.
