Psychotherapist Jacky Power on Shame & Emotional Healing | The Dad Project Podcast | Episode 14

In this powerful episode of The Dad Project Podcast, host Naroop Jhooti sits down with therapist, poet, and addiction specialist Jackie to explore the emotional depths of men's mental health, shame, and vulnerability.

Jackie opens up about her own journey and the lessons she’s learned from years of working with men facing internal battles—from addiction and anger to emotional shutdown and shame. Together, they unpack what it means to really listen, why emotional regulation matters, and how relationships can become spaces of healing rather than conflict.

Whether you're a father, partner, or someone seeking to understand yourself more deeply, this conversation offers rare insight and honest tools for emotional resilience and self-love.

🎧 Raw, reflective, and refreshingly human—this episode is an essential listen for anyone navigating modern masculinity.
