Welcome back, GEMS!

We're kicking off Season 2 of Diamonds from Darkness with a powerful shift in perspective. In this special 3 part episode, host Syrie D flips the script to spotlight the voices of men who are walking beside their partners through mental health challenges — not as saviors, but as steady, loving support systems.

Joining Syrie are three deeply insightful guests — Gibran Alvarado, Michael Couture, and Marcus Sciulli — who open up about the complexities of loving strong women navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and healing. These are the men behind the scenes: holding space, learning, growing, and showing up even when it's hard.

💬 In this episode, we explore:

• What it means to truly show up when your partner is struggling

• The emotional labor of love and the quiet strength of men who stay

• The duality of being “the rock” while also feeling vulnerable

• How therapy, communication, and cultural awareness shape modern Black and Brown love

• The stigmas they’ve faced — and the courage it takes to break them

This episode is a tribute to love in its rawest, most resilient form. Whether you're supporting someone through their healing or navigating your own, this conversation is for you.
