What if we’ve been looking at mental health the wrong way?
After our interview with Tim Harris, we kept the mics rolling… and went somewhere deeper.
This isn’t a polished, “say-the-right-thing” conversation.
It’s raw, honest, and at times… a little uncomfortable.
We explore a perspective that might divide opinion:
Can self-development and personal growth actually improve mental health?
Not ignore it.
Not dismiss it.
But strengthen it.
We talk about:
The difference between support and self-responsibility
Whether modern leadership leans too heavily on protection over resilience
How discomfort, accountability, and growth might be part of the solution—not the problem
And where the line is between pushing yourself forward… and knowing when to seek help
This is not about minimising mental health challenges.
It’s about expanding the conversation.
Because if we only ever treat the symptoms…
are we missing the opportunity to build stronger, more resilient people in the process?
