About this episode
Dr. Jay Barnett is a former NFL player turned mental health therapist, author, and speaker—on a mission to help Black men and communities heal. After a three-year, 36-city Just Heal Bro tour that reached over 18,000 men, Jay found himself burnt out and battling depression, suicide ideation, and hormonal collapse.
In this episode, he joins host Joseph "JoJo" Simmons to talk about nervous system regulation, the burden of being a giver, and how he rebuilt from the inside out. From morning routines and putting the phone in the kitchen, to redefining what it means to be a provider in a partnership, Jay breaks down what real emotional wellness looks like for Black men.
He shares:
- Why emotional stability—not money—is the true foundation of a successful home
- How he recovered from burnout and vertigo after the tour
- The role of testosterone, holistic healing, and Black men's health in his journey
- Why rest isn't a luxury, and how to start reclaiming your peace today
- The deeper meaning of "control the pace"—in business, relationships, and life
