New My Cultura Series ‘Sacred Lessons’ To Open New Conversations About Manhood.

Bestselling author and artist Mike de la Rocha is looking to start a new conversation that explores masculinity, healing and emotional transformation. He will do it in an audio format, teaming up with iHeart’s My Cultura Podcast Network to launch “Sacred Lessons.”

“In a culture that teaches men to hide their emotions, ‘Sacred Lessons’ invites listeners to release, reconnect and heal together,” says de la Rocha. “This show is about remembering that true strength begins with vulnerability.”

The series will feature de la Rocha having conversations with artists, athletes and community leaders as they explore themes of brotherhood, belonging, fatherhood, forgiveness and generational healing. In the first episode, de la Rocha will sit down with comedian Jerry Garcia. Together, they will explore how comedy helps men embrace vulnerability, how culture shapes storytelling and how fatherhood changes everything. Future guest will include cultural influencer and iHeartRadio host Curly Velasquez, author Luis J. Rodriguez, photographer and director Estevan Oriol, World Champion hoop dancer Eric Michael Hernandez, professional skateboarder Steve Corona, and award-winning artist Aloe Blacc, among others.

“We live in a world that needs more spaces for vulnerable conversations,” My Cultra head Leo Gomez said. “Creating more tools for men to heal isn’t just necessary, it’s how we build a better present and future. That’s why we loved the idea of making this show available through My Cultura — we need more people reflecting on their journeys and being open with others along the way. Having Mike, a legend in his own right, take the mic to help carry this mission forward is an honor.”

“Sacred Lessons” is debuted Nov. 10 with new episodes released weekly on Mondays.
