In this episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian welcome Demitrius Brown, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at LSU Shreveport, to explore the inaugural MENtality Workshop: Mental Wealth. Together, they discuss why mental health, resilience, and emotional well-being are essential foundations for personal and community growth—especially for men.

The conversation highlights practical strategies for building mental wealth, the power of resilience before crisis hits, deep listening through healing circles rooted in indigenous traditions, and how communities can move from conflict toward connection. Listeners will also learn how LSU Shreveport is creating accessible, community-wide opportunities for learning, healing, and lifelong growth.

This episode is a timely and hopeful  ...
