Embrace Your Story & Unleash Your Inner Joy

Bernard appears on NBC's Bluff City Life in Memphis for a deep dive into self-perception, guiding men to a place of wholeness and strength, and sharing the key to believing in yourself.

The key to believing in 'me' starts with how you perceive yourself. When men move from self-doubt to wholeness, everything else follows.

Unpacking Emotional Maturity

Bernard explores the layers of emotional maturity — what it means, why it matters, and how to cultivate it in a world that often rewards emotional avoidance.

Emotional maturity isn't about suppressing what you feel — it's about having the courage to sit with discomfort and respond rather than react.

The Roundtable with Robert BannonJuly 2023

The Roundtable Visits With Author/Speaker Bernard Owens Jr

Bernard joins Robert Bannon to discuss his book 'The Only Thing Wrong With You,' his journey from a teenage suicide attempt to self-love, and his roadmap for resilience and finding peace of mind.

The only thing wrong with you is that someone told you something was wrong with you. Self-love isn't a destination — it's a daily practice of choosing yourself.

Speaker/Author/Mental Health Advocate, Bernard J. Owens, Jr
