Dr. Jesse Mills

It was nature and trees and praying and drugs.

Back then, I lied to everybody.

They have had this case for 30 years.

I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth.

Listen to The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing.

You're a dangerous person who preys on vulnerable and trusting people.

You're a predator, Michael Levengood.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast.

Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions.

Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken.

But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name.

In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others.

Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved.

Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion.

If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather.

In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune.

It was hard to wrap your head around.
