  • Breaking generational trauma through radical honesty with Brian McRae
    May 11 2026

    Kristy Short welcomes Brian McRae back to Candid for a raw and thoughtful conversation about trauma, fatherhood, masculinity, and the power of radical honesty.

    Brian reflects on his traumatic childhood, the collapse of his first marriage, and the long personal journey that helped him become a more present father, husband, friend, and leader. He shares how he intentionally broke generational patterns with his sons and why authenticity has become central to how he shows up in relationships.

    Kristy also shares how honesty with her parents helped her move through her own mental health journey. Together, they discuss vulnerability, trust, healing, and why the truths we avoid often hold the most insight.
