In this heartfelt episode of The Healthy Mental Pod, Devin sits down with longtime friend and former Los Angeles Dodger, Nick Aikens. From little league diamonds to professional ballparks, their journey together comes full circle as they reflect on the choices they made growing up—and the hard truths we often have to face (and forgive) as adults.
Together, they explore the deep impact of fatherhood, both as sons and now as fathers themselves. With raw honesty, Nick opens up about the emotional blueprint a father leaves on his child, and how presence, love, and vulnerability shape the next generation. This episode is about accountability, healing, and breaking generational cycles—with a few laughs and a whole lot of love along the way.
