The Mornin' Experience 10_23

In this episode, we sit down with Coach Joseph Gray Jr. — educator, mental health advocate, and bestselling author — to unpack what it really means to heal out loud. From his personal journey through mental health challenges to founding the GraySpace Foundation and Tru2You, Coach Gray shares how he’s helping young people build confidence, embrace vulnerability, and redefine strength. He opens up about the stories behind his bestselling book Unmasking Me: Lost in My Head, Stuck in My Thoughts, the importance of creating safe spaces for youth, and how breaking mental health stigmas starts with one honest conversation. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear — it’s personal, it’s communal, and it’s necessary.
