Strength isn’t the absence of emotion.
It’s the courage to feel.

In this episode of The Human Side Podcast, we sit down with Ryedell for a deeply honest conversation about faith, loss, and the emotional expectations placed on young men.

From a young age, many men are taught that strength means silence — that emotions should be hidden, suppressed, or ignored. But the truth is, emotional honesty isn’t weakness. It’s humanity.

We talk about what happens when men grow up believing they have to carry everything alone, and why opening up about pain, grief, fear, and faith can be one of the most powerful things someone can do.

Before she was Deputy Mayor, Sharon Owens was an athlete, a mom, and a young woman trying to find her place in Syracuse. Today, she’s one of the city’s most visible leaders, carrying both the expectations and criticisms that come with it.

She sat down with us to share her journey, the lessons sports taught her, and the importance of protecting your mental health in public life.

This isn’t politics; it’s the human side of leadership.
