Robb sits down with Suzi Landolphi, a trauma informed therapist, equine assisted healing expert, and host of the Be Crazy Well podcast.
Suzi has spent decades helping men reconnect with their emotions, their bodies, and their truth. Her work spans combat veterans, first responders, and high performing public figures, including Jake Paul and Logan Paul, who have trusted her with deep emotional and somatic work.
This episode explores the real roots of suffering that live inside the body, how trauma travels through families, and why healing requires movement, honesty, breath, and connection. Suzi explains why men are taught to disconnect from their emotions, how women end up carrying that emotional weight, and what it takes for men to finally build the life they deserve.
She also shares the story of the wild horse that changed her life, the moment her own trauma erupted, and how equine assisted healing exposes everything a man carries inside.
Raw. Honest. Humbling. Powerful.
This is one of the most grounding conversations we have ever had on Walk With Me Brother.
