Men are silently battling pain—and this episode unpacks why that has to change.

Jordan Smith "Smitty", host of Daily Dimensions Podcast and a mental health advocate, shares his personal story of father wounds, faith, and forgiveness. We talk about trauma, therapy, grief, the impact of mentors, and his mission to get 500 men into therapy by 2030.

🎧 In this raw and emotional conversation, we explore:
– Growing up without a father
– How unresolved trauma shapes adulthood
– Why therapy isn’t enough without action
– The purpose behind the Men’s Mental Health Cookout 2025
– Forgiveness when you never get an apology
