Forget the mob boss energy. Forget the violence and the women and the chaos.
What I love most about Tony Soprano?
He took care of himself.
As I sit here looking out at this beautiful view, I canāt help but imagine what itāll feel like one day to share this peace with my husband and our family.

I picture us somewhere like this š„° soft breeze, good food, surrounded by love and I think about how much I value a man who knows how to care for himself first.
Mentally. Physically. Emotionally.
Yes, Tony was a walking contradiction. A killer with a heart. A man with a temper and a therapist. But what really made him sexy to me was that he cared about his mental health.
He didnāt always handle things the best way, it was often messy AF, but he showed up.
Tony had a therapist. He had panic attacks and didnāt ignore them. He acknowledged his body was reacting to something deeper, and he did what most men still wonāt do: he got help.
He went to the doctor. He didnāt brush it off. He didnāt pretend nothing was wrong. And for a man in power, that level of vulnerability? That awareness? That responsibility to take care of his mind and body?
Thatās attractive. Thatās sexy.
And I love that The Sopranos made that part of the story. They didnāt just show his rage they showed his reflection. They didnāt just glamorize his lifestyle they dug into what it was costing him.
It reminded me that the strongest thing a man can do is face himself.
And while Tony didnāt get everything right (who does?), he at least started the work. Thatās more than I can say for a lot of people in real life.

Mental Health Matters
I know life gets hectic. I know therapy can be expensive. I know sometimes you feel like youāre supposed to be strong and silent. But let this be your reminder:
Youāre not weak for needing help. Youāre wise for reaching out.
If you need support or donāt know where to start, here are some real resources to look into:
⢠211 ā Just dial 211. Itās free and confidential. Theyāll help you find local services, from mental health to housing and more.
⢠Healthcare.gov ā Even if you donāt think you qualify, you might. You can explore affordable options for health coverage, including mental health support.
⢠BetterHelp ā Online therapy with licensed professionals. Flexible and private.
⢠Open Path Collective ā Low-cost therapy options if youāre paying out of pocket.
I may be obsessed with fictional characters, but this part of Tony? That part wasnāt fiction. That was a reminder to all of us, men and women, that health is wealth.
And weāve got to treat it like gold.
