Daragh Fleming is a published author, freelance writer, TEDx speaker, award-winning mental health blogger and today's Own Your Journey guest. In 2022 Daragh released his first published book titled Lonely Boy, which delves into his experiences of battling depression between the ages of 18-21, after the passing of his best friend to suicide. Daragh is now living in Barcelona and has gone on to do incredible things in the poetry and mental health space.
During today's conversation we look at the events that led to Daragh finding comfort in poetry, and expressing his emotions through writing. We also speak about modern masculinity, his TEDx talk, and much more.
