In this episode of the Inner King Initiative, Adam Wilson is joined by Dr. Joshua Smith, a licensed therapist, for a real, grounded conversation about the mental and emotional challenges Black men carry—and why therapy, faith, and community are essential for healing.
Together, they explore childhood trauma, parent wounds, isolation, boundaries, depression, anxiety, and the pressure Black men feel to perform instead of process. Dr. Smith breaks down why healing is a journey, not a destination, and how men can begin doing the work without shame.
This episode is an invitation to stop surviving in silence and start leading from wholeness.
