About this listen

Welcome to Strength Is More Than a Word — a powerful and safe space where teens and young adults open up, one-on-one with me, your host, to share the raw, real moments that changed their lives. From trauma to triumph, we talk about the pain, the growth, and the strength it takes to keep going.

I created this podcast not just to share stories but to build a community of courage — one that illuminates the youth mental health crisis facing our world today.

As someone who’s been through many traumatic events, I know what it feels like to have your identity, your passion, and your voice ripped away. This show is about having a safe place for me to help my community reclaiming your voice and identity.

    Episode 5: Leo
    Nov 16 2025

    In this powerful episode, we dive into the hidden crisis of men’s mental health, the tragic passing of Cowboys player Marshawn Kneeland, and the growing failures of America’s mental-health system. We examine how untreated illness is leaving countless people—especially the homeless—without real support, while police officers are increasingly paying the ultimate price on mental-health calls they were never trained to handle. Through real stories, national examples, and an honest look at what’s breaking, this episode calls for a new solution: a specialized, compassionate crisis-response system designed to save lives on both sides. This is an emotional, urgent conversation about the changes we need… before more lives are lost.
