Men suffering in silence

Personal growth

How many men are breaking inside while pretending they are fine?

In this Raw Minds Podcast episode, Erick sits down with Chris Avery, a faith first performance coach, father, husband, and man who has lived through pain most men never talk about.

Chris opens up about childhood trauma, shame, addiction, recovery, self doubt, faith, fatherhood, and the pressure men carry when they feel like they have to stay strong for everyone else.

This conversation gets real fast.

Chris talks about spending years running from pain, using drugs and alcohol to numb what he did not know how to face, and the moment he realized he could not keep living that way anymore.

But this episode is not just about rock bottom.

It is about what comes after.

It is about rebuilding self trust.

It is about honest conversations.

It is about asking for help.

It is about becoming a man of your word.

It is about brotherhood.

It is about responsibility.

It is about showing up when the old version of you wants to quit.

Chris has coached over 1,000 men through isolation, overwhelm, pressure, identity struggles, and the silent battles they carry. His work is built around faith, emotional resilience, discipline, self trust, and helping men stop letting fear and limiting beliefs control their lives.

He also shares his mission for 2027, running 50K every day around the perimeter of the United States with his family beside him.

That is not normal.

That is mission.

This episode is for the fathers, husbands, entrepreneurs, men in recovery, men rebuilding after trauma, and the men who smile in public while falling apart in private.

For men watching this, the message is simple.

Stop hiding.

Stop pretending.

Stop carrying it alone.

Say less.

Do more.

Tell the truth.

Ask for help.

Build trust with yourself again.

This episode could be the conversation a man needs before he gives up on himself.
