Todays episode with Ismael Brown is all about his recent book, "My Own Worst Enemy: A Black Mans American Story." In just a short hour we discuss how this book dismantles everything men are taught to believe about manhood in America and regardless of his circumstances, Ismael believes he is still to blame for his shortcomings.
His failed relationships, friendships, and the unbearable weight he uncovers of fearing the people who profess their love for him the most. The honesty about his trauma and vulnerability about chasing away love even when its the deepest thing we crave is a problem so many of us struggle with.
This riveting conversation is something regardless of race WE ALL NEED TO HEAR. Ismael discusses suicide attempts, how the bootstrap theory alone didn't work for him, and how forgiveness is one of the keys to a happy life.

BEST podcast ever! My Tuesday go-to! Her 15 min fridays are all the motivation you need!!
I am so thankful for these podcasts. Weather I am driving, in the gym, ending my day, or getting my day started these podcasts motivate me. They tell stories of real people with real stories. It is not only inspiring but hopeful. I am 21 and currently a college/ working student. The last year for me has been very rough in making decisions I thought I never would have. But, even with life’s obstacles I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. And thanks to Jessica Hurley’s podcasts I can see I am not alone and my light will come.
I have literally listened to several of Jessica’s podcasts over and over again, specifically “I Have Changed”. I literally felt like I was in a church of truth 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Hands down one of my favorite Podcasters EVER!!!!!!
Jessica is an excellent host and I highly recommend anyone who finds themselves stuck in life to listen to The Stranded Phase podcast!
