It’s Okay to Feel: A Convo for Men Carrying Silent Weight

—

Men, this one’s for you.

Not the version of you that smiles when things aren’t okay.
Not the version that stays quiet because it’s what you were taught.
Not the version that feels pressure to hold it all together.

This episode is for the real you—the one carrying silent weight.

In “It’s Okay to Feel,” I open up about something that’s been on my heart for a long time: men’s mental and emotional health. From my father, who never got to fully express the depth of his feelings, to friends I’ve lost too soon—this episode is rooted in truth, grief, and the need for change.

We live in a world where men are taught to stay strong by staying silent. But strength isn’t silence—it’s honesty. It’s being brave enough to say, “I’m not okay,” and knowing that doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

Inside the episode, I share:

  • A deeply personal story about my dad and what he never got to say
  • The heartbreak of losing a friend who quietly struggled
  • Reflections on why society’s version of “strong” is breaking our men
  • A heartfelt reminder that your emotions are not the enemy—they’re part of your healing

Whether you’re a man who’s been carrying too much for too long, or someone who loves one—it’s time for this conversation. It’s time we let men feel.

Because you deserve more than survival. You deserve support. You deserve to be seen.

● About Me

I’m Heather Dyan Morgan, a writer, speaker, and podcast host who left behind everything I knew to start over from scratch.
Literally the definition of wandering the wild mess.

Born and raised in Utah (yes, I grew up Mormon), I walked away from the only life I had ever known—including a good man who simply wasn’t meant for me, and moved to Tennessee with no friends, no family, and no place to call home. I had spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder, and one day I simply told my boss: “I’m moving. Keep me or don’t.”

A little wild? Maybe. But I’ve always felt like a caged bird waiting to be free.
And once I finally jumped, there was no turning back.

Those early months, bouncing between Airbnbs, navigating heartbreak, identity shifts, and deep solitude, were more than a leap. They were a rebirth.
And somehow, they became the beginning of everything.

Now I share my journey through my podcast (Wandering the Wild Mess), I’m working on an aligned project of digital healing guides, and continue to pour into the written word—because storytelling has always been my way of making sense of the chaos and helping others feel less alone in theirs.

I’ve been writing since I could hold a pencil and asking deep questions since I could form a sentence. I’m endlessly curious about the human experience—how we think, feel, and move through this world. I believe we don’t fail; we just evolve.

I’m here to remind you that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. You’re allowed to grow, grieve, start over, and still be wildly worthy of love and joy.

I enjoy deep conversations, acoustic music, mountain views, and campfire moments that make you feel something. And I believe that if you’re reading this, you’re here for a reason.

Thanks for being part of my wild mess. Let’s wander it together.

And in case no one told you today—you matter
