There is an unhealthy stigma surrounding male sexual offense victims; the number of men who have been abused is considered to be grossly underreported, and the idea that they can only play the role of the offender is, sadly, the prevailing one. This week, Zack Ruth shares his story with us to shatter that very perception. He is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and is ready to heal. Watch his video now to learn more about all that he's battled, and how he manages to win what has become an every day fight. If you are someone who has been sexually abused, know that you are not alone; Zack assures us all of this.

Losing your mother - the person responsible for bringing you into this world, and helping you navigate your way through it - carries a special kind of grief.

This week, we honor Father's Day by honoring no other than the father of 'For the Hayters.' Larry Hayter is a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He also has Primary  Progressive Aphasia, which limits his ability to communicate. In this special tribute, Larry's children - Larry Jr., Kimberly, Justin, Alexsandra, and of course, our Becky, do the talking for him.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Bible tells us to love. So why is it a problem with that we do? This week, we commemorate Pride Month by telling a love story that is all too familiar: the tale of a child rejected and abandoned by their family, for simply loving the "wrong" person. Despite recent advances in the LGBTQ+ community, many of us who fall in love with individuals of the same sex continue to be shunned, viewed with disgust, and forced to question our worth. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sometimes, we just have roll with the punches. This week's guest, TaLisha Grzyb, knows this all too well. Having Muscular Dystrophy - the gradual breakdown of one's muscles - has confined her to a wheelchair; but while it surely isn't easy, bearing witness to TaLisha's grace, strength, and positivity, might make you think otherwise. Despite having physical limitations most others don't, the successful college grad, happy wife, and mother of three shares her story of perseverance in achieving normalcy - and assures us all that while her condition might confine her, it certainly doesn't define her.

It's been said that discovering your true sense of self, leads to true happiness. But what if you don't exactly know who you are? This week's guest, Linda Fasnacht, understands that more than most. Linda takes us inside her journey of being adopted into an all-white family as a baby, her encounters with her birth parents as a young adult, and the ultimate search for her own identity. With both biological and racial components elevating Linda's desire to find herself, hers is a story of belonging that we can all understand. Tune in to the video now to learn more.

Have you ever felt alone? Because we have. In fact, our series is predicated on the notion that just about everyone has. We are conditioned to feel as though we aren't good enough. For a relationship; for an employment opportunity; or even for a parent. In Ryan's case, it's all of the above. This week, Ryan O'Connor bravely shares his story - and how he's trying to rewrite it. Check out the video now to learn more about Ryan. You just might learn a little about yourself, too.

Motherhood is the hardest job of all. To bring a human life into this world - and to raise it into a person that contributes to the betterment of it - is no easy feat. So in honor of Mother's Day and mothers everywhere, we sat with three generations of women to learn all about their experiences with parenthood.  From the inexplicable joy - to the moments that make their hair fall out (literally), we learned of the hilariously raw truths few mothers are willing to share. A special thanks to guests, Moreen and Colleen, for sharing those truths in a way that both enlightens and resonates at the very same time.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A story of resilience, fear, and hope. Lindsey and Joe’s babymoon in Turks & Caicos took a terrifying turn when Lindsey suffered a sudden placental abruption at just 27 weeks.

Now, nearly two years later, Lindsey shares the raw emotions of that experience—the trauma, the NICU journey, and the strength it took to keep going.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses addiction, overdose, sudden death of a parent, and self-harm.

When Kylie was 21, she got the call every child of an addict dreads: her mother had overdosed. While her mother eventually found sobriety, her sudden passing in 2024 left Kylie with a choice that wasn't really a choice at all. Within 48 hours, she had to fight the state of Massachusetts to keep her 12-year-old brother, Josh, out of the system.

This isn't just a story about grief; it's about the "invisible" work of stepping up. From hunting down death certificates in different cities to explaining to a judge why a newlywed couple is the best place for a grieving teenager, Kylie’s journey is raw and unfiltered. Later in the episode, Josh joins us to share the perspective we rarely hear—the teenager’s side of loss and what it’s like when your sister becomes your "mom."

Today’s episode of For The Hayters shares Misty’s story of raising her seven year old son, Jackson, who lives with IQSEC2, a rare and severely debilitating genetic disorder. Misty opens up about the shock of a normal pregnancy, the sudden onset of seizures, the search for answers, and the moment she learned that her child’s diagnosis had no clear roadmap or cure.

She talks about the weight of being a full time caregiver, the grief of milestones that may never come, navigating a medical system that often makes survival feel like a fight, and the deeper purpose she has found in advocating for other families of medically complex kids.

This episode is a look into a kind of motherhood many people never see. The love. The fear. The strength. The chronic sorrow. And the small moments of joy that make everything worth it.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses medical trauma, brain tumors, miscarriage, and infant loss.

"I’m going to be strong for you." It’s the vow every caregiver makes, but rarely do we talk about the crushing weight of that promise. Ryan Leonard joins me to pull back the curtain on what it’s actually like to be the "well-spouse." When his wife Cheryl—who had already survived two brain tumors—experienced a sudden, sharp pain just four months after the birth of their second child, their world shifted back into a nightmare they thought they had escaped.

Ryan opens up about the "beauty and the burden" of caregiving. We dive into the reality of medical gaslighting between oncologists and radiologists, the agonizing choice between life-saving treatment and the dream of having more children, and the moment Ryan had to swallow his pride to ask for help. This isn't a story of toxic positivity; it’s a raw look at marriage, resilience, and choosing love even when it feels like a heavy weight.
