Episode Title: “Manhood, Mental Health & Mission” — A Conversation with Jonathan McKenzie

In this powerful and transparent episode of Conversations with Daisy Jones, we sit down with Jonathan McKenzie — a devoted husband, father of four, senior noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Army, and clinical counseling graduate student from the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Together, we dive into the layered experiences of manhood, faith, and leadership while exploring critical issues around mental health, especially for men of color. Jonathan shares his personal journey, cultural background, and how emotional wellness plays a vital role in how we show up in life, in relationships, and as fathers.

Passionate, wise, and full of compassion, Jonathan reflects on what it means to walk with purpose—and how choosing wholeness is a powerful act of strength.

Whether you’re a man trying to carry it all or someone who loves one, this episode will leave you encouraged, challenged, and reminded that there are men leading and rising to the challenges of manhood and fatherhood.
