Description

Burnout, cancer, and silent struggles, how Dr. Arvind Petrie hid pain behind professional success (until he couldn't).

What does it take for a high-achieving man to finally say, “I need help” ?

For Dr. Arvind Petrie, it started with cultural pressure, unchecked hustle, and a crushing secret: the dental practice he just bought was bankrupt. With no mentors and bills piling up, he pushed harder until cancer, divorce, and suicidal thoughts forced him to stop pretending.

In this raw and powerful episode, Arvind opens up about what it really looks like to hit bottom while looking like you've made it. He shares how therapy, spiritual reconnection, and men’s groups helped him peel off the mask and reclaim his life.

Now engaged and healing, Arvind speaks to every man who’s been told to be strong by staying silent. 

His story is a reminder: vulnerability is strength, and asking for help might just save your life.

Listen now and if this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear they're not alone.
