What’s behind the smile 🤔💭

Gone too soon….

This is so sad…

But he was so happy…

But he had it all…

Why would he leave his children…

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈’𝐌 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆….

Why are men struggling to talk?

Why is it that men's mental health issues are stigmatized?

Why aren’t we doing mood checks with our strong & high functioning friends?

Why is a man weak if he is suffering from mental illness?
…

TO THE FELLAS… Please, we need to start talking!

TO SOCIETY… We need to abandon our preconceived ideas of what someone who is depressed or struggling with their mental health looks and acts like.

TO HIS FAMILY… I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you’re feeling. I’m sending you thoughts & prayers and may God watch over you and comfort you.

TO … Bro! I've wanted a charisma and vibe like yours ever since I first saw you on SYTYCD. When I first heard the terrible news, I was heartbroken, but I was much more heartbroken by the thought of what you were going through and struggling with. You will be greatly missed, and I pray you found freedom and peace 🕊🤍

This right here. This is why we recorded episode 64.

Because it’s one thing to become aware that we can handle a situation differently.

And it’s a whole other thing to use that awareness to choose a different behaviour before you act, AND, be able to reflect on that choice and feel proud that you were able to do so.

Therein lies the concept of our latest episode - unpacking the difference between self-awareness & self-development, what it’s like to have one without the other (think PB&j but without the J - still good, but waaaay less effective), and how marrying the two concepts together can increase your results.

Episode 64 - available everywhere you listen to podcasts.
