In this episode of GoodEnoughChats – a men’s mental health podcast on a mission to destigmatise these issues, one chat at a time – Joe Glover shares what it’s really like to live with anxiety while building a business, raising a young family, and trying to stay human in the middle of it all.
He talks honestly about how anxiety shows up in his body, the frustration of feeling overwhelmed during moments that are meant to be joyful, and his journey towards accepting the help he needs.
As with all the guests on the show, Joe’s not claiming to be an expert, but he’s sharing what his experience has taught him to help other guys get there a little sooner.
