🚨 Welcome to the Season 2 Finale!! We uncover the hidden battles men fight every day: addiction, silence, & the crushing expectation of always being “the strong one.” This is not just another podcast episode it’s the most raw, unfiltered, and faith-filled conversation we’ve had yet on the Be That Woman Podcast with two brilliant minds Greg Wanjama & Moses Kemibaro 🎙️🔥 Here’s what we dive into:- The supernatural prayer & intervention that saved Moses from addiction.- How Greg has battled always being the odd one out from being saved from 9 years old- Why men suffer in silence; the high suicide rates, hyper-independence & avoiding therapy.- The African man’s upbringing: tough, unshaken… but silently breaking.- Faith as a foundation: how God shows up in the darkest moments.- Mothers as unsung heroes; their sacrifices, caregiving, & shaping of men’s lives.- Why mentorship, community & simply talking can release hidden burdens.- Men’s health phobias: why so many assume “I’m fine” instead of seeking help.✨ This finale is more than a conversation, it’s a wake-up call. Healing begins when men stop carrying the weight alone, and when we all stop doubting God’s goodness, even in the storm.👉🏽 If you love someone who struggles silently, share this with them. It might just save a life.#bethatwomanpodcast #MensMentalHealth #FaithHealing #AddictionRecovery #AfricanMasculinityFollow us on Instagram, Tiktok, Linked in on both pages "bethatwomanpodcast" & "joymido"

Together, we unpack the ways women have shaped their journeys: from wives, in-laws to mothers, daughters, kids & beyond.In our Two-Part Series, we’re diving into the things that men often carry silently but rarely express openly: the weight of expectations in marriage, navigating in-laws, balancing faith, & the pressures of being a husband and father.At the same time, it’s a window for women to better understand the men in their lives how they think, what they value, & the role faith & family play in shaping them. Both men spoke openly about how their walk with God grounds them in marriage and family. That’s a conversation we don’t have nearly enough 🙏💍 Part 1 is all about Wives, In-Laws. Kids & Faith. And let me tell you, the honesty here is unmatched. This series isn’t just for women. It’s for the men too. It’s for anyone who cares about love, faith, & the real work it takes to build relationships that last.🚨 Let’s wrap up the season together with wisdom, laughter, & a whole lot of truth.#seasonfinale #marriageandfaith #familytalks
