In this powerful second episode with counsellor Will Hamilton, Vishal dives deep into one of the most pressing issues facing men today: loneliness. With over 8 million men in the UK experiencing loneliness weekly, this conversation tackles the root causes, the societal pressures and what we can actually do to reconnect both with ourselves and others.
Will explores the three types of loneliness emotional, social and environmental and explains how early childhood experiences, toxic role models, remote working and masculine norms can all contribute to this silent epidemic. From the construction site to the therapistโs chair, this episode brings hard truths, surprising insights and practical tools for men who feel stuck, isolated, or emotionally overwhelmed.
