NOV 25th - NATIONAL 'PLAY WITH DAD' DAY

💥 Dads need to play, too!💥
Not just for their kids… but for their own hearts!

When dads play and do activities with their kids, they reconnect with joy, creativity, silliness, and the parts of themselves that adulthood sometimes buries.

And kids? They remember these moments forever.

Fun Things Dads Can Do With Their Younger Kids Today:
💜Shoulder rides around the house or backyard
💜Build a pillow fort together
💜Go for a walk or scooter ride
💜Play “the floor is lava”
💜Shoot hoops or pass a football
💜Draw silly pictures together
💜Play hide-and-seek

Fun Things Dads Can Do With Their Older Kids Today:
💜Go for a walk together
💜Grab some food, a hot chocolate, or treat
💜Watch a favorite movie or show from your childhood
💜Help dad with a small project
💜Cook a meal together
💜Ask him to teach you something
💜Look through old family photos
💜Play a video game together that you both love

WIVES, PARTNERS:
Encourage dad to step away from chores or work for 30 minutes!
💥Gently remind him it’s okay to have fun — he doesn’t need to “earn” play
💥Create a distraction-free window (turn off TV, silence phones, etc.)
💥Offer to handle one small task to free up some time for him to play!

NATIONAL 'PLAY WITH DAD' DAY IN FULL EFFECT!

ILYBRO SLC GROUP LEADER REED TAYLOR & THE TRUCK OF 28,000 LIGHTS

"Reed Taylor, a West Valley City native, wrapped his Ford Super Duty truck with 28,000 Christmas lights this year.

"Reed said that he began by wrapping his truck with 100 Christmas lights in 2019. Each year he has increased that number, and now, it is wrapped with 28,000 Christmas lights that run on independent power".

“The lights represent what men show the world, and the two miles of wire represent the heavy, tangled struggles we carry in silence,” Taylor said. He added that the goal is to get people to ask, “why the lights?”

ABC4's news story on Reed's passion for men's mental health and the I Love You Bro Project has gone viral, hitting affiliate local stations across the country (even in my hometown of Chicago on WGN)!

It will be 4 years ago in January that a su***de prevention story in Lehi, UT went viral. How perfectly fitting that other contributing stories have followed in its wake, spreading light and hope for men's mental health and su***de prevention.

I love how Reed makes men's mental health and su***de prevention a FAMILY AFFAIR, including his sons and wife in his work--and not just "something only he is passionate about". I know his family well and they each put in work for themselves and for the ilybro project.

So far, Reed's efforts have raised $655 for the I Love You Bro Project, and brought mass awareness and hope to thousands of onlookers around the country!

I'm SO proud of Reed and his incredible growth while being with us, and all the beautiful miracles he's facilitating on the road and with the bros in our Salt Lake City weekly support group.

I love you, my big-little bro Reed!

ILYBRO & THE GIVING MACHINE

I was excited to receive a special invitation to attend the launch of the 'Giving Machines' at the University Place in Orem.

The Giving Machines are giant red vending-machine-style kiosks created by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that let people donate to charity in a fun, hands-on way. Instead of buying snacks, you “purchase” real items that go directly to people in need.

Me and my daughters were able to purchase the following things:
- 3 hot meals
- 30 hygiene pack
- 150 lunches
- Resources for those escaping domestic violence abuse.and (1) goat!

The machine then drops little cards representing the items we purchased so we can physically see what we “gave"!

100% GOES DIRECTLY TO THE LESS FORTUNATE and is literally EXACTLY WHAT YOU DONATED!

The Giving Machines help people all over the world — regardless of religion.

They turn generosity into a shared holiday experience, and me and my girls were emotional during the process.

THANK YOU to all of our community partners in the area for the special invitation so we could take part in their incredible service!

FACTS & FEELS - THE "STOIC" MASK IS THE NEW "NUMB"

54% of the men who walk into our weekly support groups report wearing a “Stoic mask.”

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
On the outside, these men will look "calm", "collected", and even "unbothered".
They show little emotion, holding it together, and not reacting in difficult situations.

54% of the men who come through our doors report that they do exactly that--to hide their pain, their stress, and their emotional battles.

On the inside, these men could be carrying storms they don’t know how to put into words--or might not dare put into words (for fear of the results).

Here you go, bro — short, clear, powerful bullet points that teach people how to help stoic men open up:

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

✅Start with safety, not pressure — create space that is calm, private, and judgment-free.
✅Ask simple, low-pressure questions like “Tell me about your week..” instead of “What’s wrong?”
✅Share something real first — vulnerability invites vulnerability.
✅Listen more than you talk — silence gives him room to step in.
✅Validate, don’t fix — “That makes sense” works better than “Here’s what you should do.”
✅Notice small cues — shifts in tone, body language, or short phrases often mean he’s trying.
✅Be consistent — one caring check-in is good, but regular ones build trust.
✅Avoid shaming or calling him out — he’s not “cold,” he’s cautious.
✅Normalize emotions — remind him that feeling things doesn’t make him weak.
✅Invite, don’t demand — “I’m here when you’re ready” goes a long way.
✅Celebrate the little things— even one honest sentence is progress.

SUPPORT THROUGH THE FIRE

These aren't the most flattering pictures of me, but they are super powerful to me.

Here I am, walking through the seriously hot coals of our annual Forged Through Fire event.

My uneasiness and discomfort is apparent, but so is the hand of support I had from my bro Gordon, and the relief I felt at the end.

The pathway of owning our life's challenges, and beginning a commitment to REAL healing almost always leads through fire. In most case, many small and larger fires.

It's soooOOO painful, soOOO uncomfortable, and can be sooo..unflattering.

But the hands that are reaching for us, wanting to support us through those challenges are VERY REAL, and want to help.

Our brains tell us it's "unmanly" to ask for a hand to hold onto.
Our brains tell us it's "unattractive" to need any sort of support.

Those are lying jack@$$ thoughts our brains are creating to try and "protect" us, when in fact it's absolutely hurting us.

You are ALWAYS worth being supported.
You are ALWAYS worth being loved.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WORTH THE PAIN, THE STRUGGLE, AND ALL THE FIRES.

Let us be the hand of support in your life, through all of your fires, and let's start there.

ALL OF OUR SUPPORT GROUPS ARE MONDAY THRU FRIDAY (none on the weekends)

SOCIAL CONNECTION ACTIVITY - SERVICE AT THE UTAH COUNTY WARMING CENTER

Today, some of the powerful men of our Utah County weekly support groups (Spanish Fork, Provo, Pleasant Grove, and Lehi) came together for a wonderful service activity at the Utah County Warming Center!

We had the opportunity to put together personal item boxes for the less fortunate while they stay at the warming center.

The Utah Warming Center is an awesome safe space for the less fortunate to find warmth, both of the body and soul. They feed the homeless, house them for a time, and provide loving care and connection.
They are open Nov 17th-Mar 2nd 2026, 8pm-8am.

10 REASONS WHY THANKSGIVING CAN BE TRIGGERING FOR MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH

➖Loneliness or lack of family connection
Men who are single, divorced, estranged, or living far from family may feel especially alone during a “family holiday.”

➖Grief and loss
Empty chairs at the table — whether from death, divorce, or separation — hit men harder during holidays tied to family traditions.

➖Family pressure to “be fine”
Men often feel expected to show up strong, social, and put-together, even when they’re hurting inside.

➖Strained family relationships
Thanksgiving gatherings can force interactions with family members where there’s conflict, distance, or unresolved pain.

➖Feeling like a burden
Men who are struggling may feel guilty for “bringing the mood down,” so they isolate or avoid gatherings.

➖Financial stress leading into the holidays
Expectations around travel, meals, and gift-giving can amplify money worries and feelings of inadequacy.

➖Alcohol-heavy environments
Many Thanksgiving gatherings revolve around drinking, which can be triggering for men battling addiction or trying to stay sober.

➖Role overload
Men often feel pressure to host, grill, carve, clean, drive, entertain, and “hold everything together.”

➖Comparison and self-judgment
Seeing siblings or friends thriving in careers, relationships, or finances can intensify self-doubt.

➖End-of-year emotional exhaustion
Thanksgiving marks the winding down of a long year, and many men feel burnout, regret, or the weight of “not being where I hoped I’d be.”
