Men are burning out because we’ve been taught that self-care is soft. In this powerful episode of Talkin’ Crazy Podcast, Marine and motivational speaker Demetrius Thigpen (Meech Speaks) breaks down the truth about masculinity, rest, and what it really means to take care of yourself.

This isn’t about spa days or bubble baths — it’s about preventive maintenance. Meech shares personal stories from his time in the Marine Corps, lessons on burnout, and how to balance being strong with being human.

💬 In this episode:

• Why men are afraid to practice self-care

• The cost of saying yes too often

• How to set boundaries without guilt

• Why rest is part of discipline, not the opposite

• The Marine mindset behind mental strength

🎧 Listen to Talkin’ Crazy Podcast every Monday & Thursday for real talk about mindset, motivation, and what it means to be human — from a United States Marine’s perspective.
