On this solo episode, Daniel Laurent takes a second and has heartfelt dialogue to the men of his community about the treatment and protection of women. Inspired by another recent tragedy where a woman was killed by her husband, he wanted to have one of the rawest and honest conversations about what is being a man and a protector? There also a small segment of the music that celebrated violence towards women that we love and sing along to and it is reexamined in this conversation.

He also reads some questions from the male listeners and gives insight.

Please listen, comment and most importantly share with other men.

On this episode, Leah and Daniel sit down with Lakisha Renee Austin, LICSW, MSW, MBA but affectionately known as Coach LA to unpack the growing controversy surrounding Cheyenne Bryant and the larger conversation it sparked around licensing, accreditation, and transparency in the mental health space.

Together, they explore why credentials matter, how misinformation and social media influence public trust, and the dangerous line between inspiration and professional accountability. But beyond the headlines, this conversation dives deeper into the complicated relationship many people in our community have with therapy, mental health professionals, and the medical system as a whole.

From historical distrust and stigma to the rise of online “experts,” we ask the hard questions: Who do we trust? What qualifies someone to guide others through trauma and healing? And how do we protect our communities while still encouraging people to seek help?

This episode is honest, nuanced, and necessary — not just about one person, but about accountability, healing, and the responsibility that comes with influence.
