P.S.A the Mental Health Podcast

• Did God Tell You To Do That, or Does It Just Make Sense?

  Season 9 is heading into its final stretch, and Izzy Baker is back with one of the most honest and spiritually challenging episodes of the entire season. This week, Izzy dives deep into the tension between obedience and logic, exploring what happens when God tells you to move, shift, release, or trust Him in ways that make absolutely no sense on paper. As the year closes and purpose conversations get louder, this episode confronts the battle between clarity and convenience — and why so many of us confuse one for the other. Izzy opens by reflecting on the meme that sparked this entire conversation: “Did God tell you to do that, or does it just make sense?” What starts as a simple question turns into a raw exploration of purpose, timing, career shifts, and the uncomfortable reality that sometimes God will pull you out of familiar environments not to punish you, but to position you. Whether it’s job rejection, unexpected redirection, or losing access to spaces you thought you needed, Izzy unpacks how obedience can feel like irrationality until hindsight proves otherwise.From there, he moves into Happy Hour, where he tackles one of the most relatable realities for young millennial men today: the art of giving people — especially parents and friends — the bare minimum. Izzy breaks down why some dreams can’t survive unnecessary opinions, why oversharing exposes you to spiritual and emotional interference, and why ambition often gets mislabeled as being “ungrateful.” With humor and honesty, he challenges listeners to protect the visions God gave them privately, even when the people closest to them don’t understand.In the Case Study, Izzy analyzes 1 Kings 19:11–12, the passage where God’s voice doesn’t appear in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire — but in a still, small whisper. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and years of hard lessons, Izzy explains why so many of us miss God’s direction looking for something dramatic, when the answer has been sitting quietly in front of us the whole time. He connects this concept to a viral video from sneaker creator Devintage, revealing how delayed obedience can cost you more later — and how idols, comfort, and fear can disguise themselves as logic.The episode then shifts into the mental health conversation, centered on obedience, pressure, stress, and spiritual clarity. Izzy pulls from psychological research, faith-based studies, and lived experience to show how fear, pressure, and confusion distort decision-making. From habitual stress responses to long-term emotional patterns, he breaks down why people often revert to what “worked last season,” even when God is clearly calling them into something different.As the Weekly Sabbatical wraps up the episode, Izzy leans into stories of biblical obedience, divine timing, and the uncomfortable process of being stretched. He challenges listeners to evaluate where they’ve been striking the rock out of habit, where they’ve been moving out of pressure instead of peace, and where convenience has been disguised as purpose.The question he closes with becomes the one you’ll carry all week: Are you moving from clarity… or comfort? This episode is a quiet call to trust, a nudge toward surrender, and a reminder that faith rarely fits neatly into logic. If you’ve been wrestling with a decision, feeling pulled into something that doesn’t add up, or questioning whether you’re hearing God or your own fear — this one will meet you right where you are.Listen.

• The Curious Case: Are Men the New Mean Girls?

  Season 9 continues with a brand-new mini-series inside the PSA universe — The Curious Case, a slow-rolling investigative run into the emotional habits, social behavior, and internal battles shaping modern men. Think of this like the Diddy case: one episode now, another one in a few weeks, and the rest spread out over time. Today’s question sets the tone: Have men become the new Mean Girls? And if so…why?In this first installment, Izzy digs into the rise of the hypersensitive sassy man — the guy whose self-esteem swings with every comment, whose feelings erupt at the smallest disagreement, and who weaponizes blocking like it’s spiritual warfare. Pulling from scripture, real-life friendships, pop culture, and even a few TikTok University scholars, the episode explores the difference between being highly sensitive and being hypersensitive — one rooted in compassion and emotional intelligence, the other rooted in offense, insecurity, and unchecked ego.To ground the conversation, Izzy revisits an older PSA classic, “Wah Wah Wah!” from Season 2, where he first broke down these emotional categories. This time, he expands the lens using passages from Ephesians 4:26 and key reflections from Soriah Lott’s King’s Hill Church blog, which challenges the belief that sensitivity is a spiritual weakness. Lott writes that “feeling strong emotions, empathizing with others, and experiencing stimuli differently is not inherently sinful — it comes down to how we’re wired as image-bearers of God.” The episode uses this framework to show how sanctified sensitivity becomes compassion, while hypersensitivity becomes chaos.From club culture to section politics, Izzy exposes the “Regina George with dreads” energy he has watched men display in both nightlife and church spaces. The cutting eyes. The whispered comments. The gatekeeping. The sudden blocks. The emotional cliques. And the unspoken jealousy. He questions why so many men have mastered the art of offense but not the discipline of self-awareness — and why emotional fragility disguised as “alpha male confidence” is actually insecurity in disguise. The episode also includes a deep dive into viral clips: one warning about the danger of “overly emotional men who lack impulse control,” another challenging outdated ideas about masculine softness in relationships, and a satirical breakdown of performative high-value masculinity. Each clip becomes a case file — a snapshot of the modern male identity crisis.With raw honesty, Izzy shares personal stories about friendships that disappeared without warning, the “callouses” he’s developed from men cutting him off, and the spiritual lessons that came from losing people he never expected to lose. He dissects loyalty, emotional regulation, conflict, and the growing trend of men who struggle to take accountability without immediately playing the victim.And as always, the episode ends with Questions That Need Addressing — from “Should a man ever block another man?” to “Are men becoming too comfortable playing the victim?” to “Is clapping back confidence or insecurity?” Each one pushes the listener to examine where emotional maturity ends and hypersensitivity begins. If you’ve ever wondered why male friendships dissolve over minor disagreements, why some men crumble at the smallest critique, or why emotional intelligence has become such a battleground among Black men today — this is an episode you don’t want to skip. Listen. Learn. Reflect. And prepare yourself — because The Curious Case is just getting started.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package🎯 Level up your professional development influence with the TrustBuilder Package — a social media strategy designed to position you as a thought leader in your space.

• Big Sean Breaks Silence on Jhené Aiko, David Banner vs Media, & Trump’s $2K Move

  🗣️ Mental Man Monday — “You Can’t Trust a Man Who Cheats on His Wife” Season 9’s latest Mental Man Monday livestream is another solo deep dive from Izzy Baker, who steps to the mic alone to tackle three hard-hitting conversations about integrity, headlines, and the hidden state of modern manhood.The stream opens with Izzy unpacking a viral David Banner clip that’s been making waves online — one that the internet twisted out of context. Banner didn’t say “you can’t trust men to cheat” — he was quoting his mentor, who told him, “You can’t trust a man who’ll cheat on his wife, because if he’ll disrespect his wife in public, what makes you think he won’t snake you?” From there, Izzy calls out how we’ve normalized dishonor among men — quick to protect our homies but silent when they violate their vows. He challenges listeners to rethink loyalty, accountability, and what it really means to stand on values in an era where cheating has become culture. Next, Izzy pivots to politics with Donald Trump’s proposed $2,000 “dividend” plan — a headline that sent the internet into chaos. He breaks down what’s real, what’s clickbait, and why emotional regulation matters when reacting to media. Instead of celebrating “free money,” Izzy reframes the moment as a lesson in stewardship: every dollar is a test of discipline. As he puts it, “Any money that comes your way — use it wisely. Sometimes it’s not a blessing; it’s a budget check.”Finally, Izzy closes with a conversation that blends celebrity gossip and real-life relationships — the Big Sean × Jhené Aiko breakup. Ten years together, a child, no marriage. Izzy flips the narrative on what it means to “play house,” arguing that too many couples want commitment without covenant. “If you’ve been doing everything like a married couple, what’s left to build toward?” he asks. The conversation turns into a spiritual reminder that Jesus never modeled confusion — only clarity and purpose.As Izzy teases the next big shift — the launch of his new mini-series “The Curious Case of the Hypersensitive Man” — he reminds the audience that this is just the warm-up before the finale stretch of Season 9. This isn’t just commentary — it’s conviction.From cheating to clickbait to commitment, this episode forces you to ask: where do your values really stand when no one’s watching?Listen. Reflect.

• Can Men & Women Really Be Friends? | UPS Layoffs & Jamal Bryant’s Move with Snap Benefits

  Season 9’s newest Mental Man Monday livestream might be the most faith-filled and confrontational one yet. After a week off, Izzy Baker returns with DJ No Name, co-host of The HL Podcast, for an unfiltered conversation that blends spiritual awakening with cultural reality.The night begins with a bold recap of the latest PSA: The Mental Health Podcast episode, “Can Men and Women Truly Be Friends?” DJ No Name gives Izzy his flowers for hosting one of the most transparent, necessary, and uncomfortable conversations men have ever had about friendship, temptation, and maturity. Speaking from the lens of marriage, DJ No Name admits how rare it is to see Black men display this level of honesty and vulnerability on-camera.From there, the dialogue pivots into current events — specifically UPS’s 48,000 layoffs and what Izzy calls “the season of uncomfortable exits.” He draws a powerful parallel between economic instability and spiritual transition, warning that when God closes doors, it’s not rejection — it’s redirection. “You can’t go back to Egypt,” Izzy declares. “You can’t run back to what He freed you from.”The conversation heats up even more when they address Pastor Jamal Bryant’s controversial move to suspend church tithes for the entire month of November, instead collecting canned goods for families affected by SNAP cuts. DJ No Name questions whether Bryant’s decision was genuine sacrifice or clever PR, while Izzy argues that this is what real ministry looks like — giving without expecting a return.As the stream wraps, both men confront what it truly means to keep faith in famine, to trust purpose through layoffs, and to stay generous in a selfish world. This episode isn’t just about religion — it’s about resistance. It’s about not running back to comfort when God is calling you to grow.Listen. Reflect. Don’t just survive this season — shift through it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package🎯 Level up your professional development influence with the TrustBuilder Package — a social media strategy designed to position you as a thought leader in your space.

• Can Men and Women Truly Be Friends? Feat. Jessi Holley

  Season 9, Episode 25 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast dives head-first into one of the most polarizing questions in modern relationships: can men and women really be just friends? Izzy Baker sits down with Jessi Holley, host of Everybody Can’t Go Podcast and author of the book that started her brand, for a brutally honest breakdown of friendship, lust, and boundaries in the age of OnlyFans and DM culture.What begins as a playful conversation about “the friend zone” quickly turns into a deeper discussion about lust, maturity, and blurred lines. Jesse opens up about having long-term platonic friendships with men — no flings, no past, no “almost.” Izzy challenges the notion that men and women can keep it that clean, pointing to how lust, trauma, and social conditioning make it hard to separate attraction from friendship.Together, they unpack how sexual trauma and overexposure have rewired how this generation views connection, and why so many people can’t see friendship without filtering it through desire. The conversation gets raw as they debate the OnlyFans effect — how posting provocative content or monetizing sexuality affects how men perceive and approach women, and where accountability versus respect really starts.Jessi brings fire and wisdom, explaining why confidence, not chaos, should define friendship. Izzy plays devil’s advocate, asking if some women set themselves up for blurred boundaries by ignoring red flags that always looked like Six Flags. The two go back and forth about trust, temptation, and emotional bleed — when friendships get too deep, too fast, and start to feel like mini-relationships.By the end, they’re not just talking about male-female friendships — they’re dissecting how ego, insecurity, and emotional immaturity keep people from building anything real. If you’ve ever been accused of “doing too much” with a friend, or questioned whether your “bro” or “sis” might secretly want more — this one will hit home.Listen. Reflect. And decide for yourself — can men and women really just be friends?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package🎯 Level up your professional development influence with the TrustBuilder Package — a social media strategy designed to position you as a thought leader in your space.
