Black Dads Get POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION Too — One Dad's Raw & Honest Story (Ep. 159) | XYBM Podcast

In XYBM 159, we sit down with Nathan Evans, speaker and founder of Get to Worthy, for one of the most emotionally raw conversations in the show’s history. Nathan opens up about the passing of his son, navigating paternal grief while still showing up as a husband, father, and public speaker — and the postnatal depression that followed the birth of his newest son. He breaks down what high-functioning depression looks like in men, why the “no snitching” code extends into a man’s own emotional life, and how community, therapy, journaling, and faith each played a distinct role in his healing. This is a must watch episode for any Black man navigating grief, healing or building a business!
