In this very first episode of my You First series, we’re flipping the script on what it means to be a man in today’s world. I sit down with two incredible guests, Adam Allred and Travis Prince, to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about something men rarely talk about: self-care.

This isn’t about bubble baths and face masks (though there’s nothing wrong with those). This is about learning how to truly show up for ourselves, mentally, physically, and emotionally, so we can show up better for the people we love. Adam, with his grounded wisdom, and Travis, with his raw, lived experience, open up about their own journeys, the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the habits that keep them grounded.

We talk about the quiet weight men carry, the pressure to be “strong” at all costs, and why prioritising yourself is not selfish, it’s essential. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions, this conversation is a reminder: your needs matter too.

Men’s self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. And it starts here, with you first.
