This week on The BeyondWoman Conversations, we open the floor to a subject that often stays buried beneath strength and silence — the emotional, mental, and relational weight that men carry but rarely speak of. Our guests — Faith Waltson, Barry Groves, and Coach Jherrel Peters — share honest reflections and expert insight on how expectations, love, pain, and pressure shape the inner lives of men. We experienced a minor technical issue at the outset (real-life moments happen!), but the essence of this dialogue quickly takes center stage. What follows is an eye-opening, truth-telling exchange that challenges stereotypes, encourages vulnerability, and reminds us that healing and understanding are a two-way process. As we acknowledge Depression Awareness Month, this episode feels especially timely. Statistics continue to show rising rates of depression among men, many of whom suffer in silence. This conversation is our small way of breaking that silence, reminding men (and those who love them) that vulnerability is not weakness, and healing begins when we dare to speak. 🎧 Listen now to “The Weight He Doesn’t Speak Of” — a raw, real, and necessary conversation on the pain, pressure, and love men carry in silence.

From Jamaica to Japan to now the UK — Monique Farquharson’s story is one of guts, grace, and going after what calls you. She’s the founder of The Matcha Yaad, the first Jamaican Matcha company, and she’s not afraid to mix  cultures, break molds, and build something the world hasn’t seen before.

It’s about faith, courage, and doing the thing even when nobody gets it.

In this episode of TheBeyondWoman Conversations Podcast, we sit down with Carla Williams Johnson — Global Marketing Influencer, PR Powerhouse, and unapologetic Caribbean woman — for a refreshingly raw and inspiring conversation about reinvention.

Carla opens up about: The moment she realized she needed to restructure her business (and her life) The internal battles of reinvention — fear, insecurity, and cultural pressures Why alignment matters more than appearance or applause How she helps CEOs and Caribbean leaders get featured, seen, and paid in spaces that once felt out of reach Whether you’re in the middle of a quiet pivot or standing at the edge of change, this episode reminds you that reinvention isn’t about rejection — it’s about reclamation. ✨ You don’t need to become someone new.
