“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.” – Juliette Lewis
In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down for one of the most difficult and important conversations they’ve ever had. What starts as a check-in quickly turns heavy as Tyson opens up about a recent dark season, including suicidal ideation, and the quiet mental health spiral that caught him off guard.
They talk honestly about mental health triggers, how stress compounds over time, and the dangerous lie many men believe—that being strong means being silent. Together, they unpack the hypocrisy so many men live in: pouring everything into taking care of everyone else while neglecting their own emotional and mental well-being.
This episode doesn’t offer easy answers or polished solutions. Instead, it offers something far more valuable—truth, vulnerability, and permission. Permission to admit you’re not okay. Permission to ask for help. Permission to stop pretending strength means doing it alone.
This conversation is raw, uncomfortable, and necessary. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or like the weight of responsibility was crushing you, this episode is a reminder that you’re not weak for struggling—and you’re not alone in it.
If this episode resonates with you, please know help is available. Talking saves lives.
