Grief Isn’t Depression...Until It Is | How It Showed Up for Us

Send us a text

Grief and depression are often treated as the same thing — but they’re not. Until they are.

In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth, Tommie Jones II and Lance Taylor have an honest, needed conversation about grief, mental health, and the fine line that many men — especially Black men — are taught to ignore.

We talk about how grief shows up differently for everyone, why men often suppress it, and how unresolved grief can quietly turn into depression if left unaddressed. We also discuss generational expectations, emotional silence, leadership pressures, and the danger of believing you have to “just push through it.”

This episode isn’t about diagnoses — it’s about awareness, ownership, and giving men permission to acknowledge what they’re carrying before it becomes something heavier.

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m fine,” while feeling anything but — this conversation is for you.
