*TRIGGER WARNING - This episode features a mention of suicide*
Many men find themselves shying away from showing emotion for fear of being seen as weak or inadequate.
But, in fact, there’s a clear strength in finding that ability to open up, admit your struggles and embrace the power of talking.
On episode 3 of Modern Men, I speak to author, poet and mental health advocate Daragh Fleming. We discuss what pushed Daragh to be open about mental health, the importance of talking and how perceptions of masculinity and “male” emotions are changing.
Plus, Daragh explains the journey behind his incredible book Lonely Boy (linked below), why we should aim to build emotional male friendships and he provides his two superb tips for modern men.
If you found this episode useful or comforting, it would mean the world if you gave the podcast a follow and left me a rating and review. Thanks!
