PRIDE MONTH vs MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH MONTH? | WHAT IS PITIKI BASOTHO? | MODERN-DAY PARENTING

Today on Backroom Podcast, we unpack one of the most important conversations of the year. The crew discusses why Pride Month and Men's Mental Health Month are both observed in June, leading into a deeper conversation about why so many men struggle to open up about their emotions and mental health. We also explore the growing conversation around mental health, including self-diagnosis through social media, breaking generational cycles, and how we can become better parents by creating healthier environments for our children. The discussion then shifts to relationships, maturity, and cultural traditions, including the Sotho practice of pitiki and its role in preparing young women for marriage, sparking a broader conversation about expectations in modern relationships. Thought-provoking conversations, different perspectives, and honest opinions throughout.
