Why are men still dying in silence while the world stays quiet

In this powerful episode of Raw Minds, Erick sits down with viral men's mental health advocate Char for an unfiltered conversation that exposes the silence around male pain, suicide, and the double standards that leave men unseen and unsupported.

Char has built a massive platform focused on saving lives. With millions of views, a Discord community, a support team, and a 24/7 mental health hotline, she’s created space for men to finally be heard. She’s also endured backlash, threats, and hate — all for refusing to stay quiet about what men go through.

This is not about taking sides. It’s about saving lives.

In this episode

Why men are dying by suicide at alarming rates

The reality of secondhand suicide and invisible suffering

Char’s journey through homelessness addiction and incarceration

False accusations and the silent battles in family court

Why therapy often fails men and what actually works

Raising emotionally strong boys without shame

Creating safe digital spaces that help men heal

The raw truth no one else is saying out loud

This conversation is not just important. It is necessary.

This isn’t just another episode.

This is the reason Raw Minds even exists.

June is the month I lost Jules.

The month everything shattered.

The month I realized silence wasn’t strength — it was killing me.

I recorded this to close out Men’s Mental Health Month, but truth is…

This one’s for me.

For the dads carrying grief behind their smiles.

For the sons trying to heal while raising kids.

For the ones still breathing.

And for the ones we’ll never meet, but carry with us every damn day.

If you’ve ever felt like no one sees you…

If you're tired of pretending you're fine…

If you’ve ever stared at the wall wondering if any of this matters…

Press play.

This episode is the hug I never got.

Remember: It’s okay to not be okay. But it’s not okay to go through it alone.

This one’s not easy and it’s not supposed to be.

We sat down to talk about what most men will never say out loud. The thoughts they carry in silence. The moments they break behind closed doors. The pain they’ve buried for years.

This isn’t just about mental health this is about survival.
This is about the moment you look in the mirror and don’t recognize the man staring back.
This is about the weight you’ve been carrying so long, it feels normal now.
This is for the ones who’ve been holding it in for too long.

We dive into:

• The real reason so many men are dying emotionally and spiritually

• Why silence is killing us more than the struggle itself

• What real healing actually looks like without the mask

• The stories that pull us back from the edge

• And how we start changing things — one honest conversation at a time

If you’ve ever felt like you had no one to talk to this episode is for you.

We’re not experts. We’re just two men who’ve been through it, and want to talk about it. Unfiltered. Real. Raw.
