Podcasts about men's mental health

Trigger warning: includes frank discussion of eating disorders, body image, and mental health. How do you find laughter in something that nearly kills you? In this episode, comedian and mental health advocate Dave Chawner takes us on a bold, brutally honest - and often hilarious - journey through his experience of living with anorexia. But this isn't your typical “overcoming adversity” tale. Dave doesn't sugarcoat the reality of his eating disorder. He talks openly about how it began not with food, but with control… how it was rewarded before it was recognised… and how, for a long time, he loved it. Through vivid, sometimes shocking, and darkly funny anecdotes, Dave shows how anorexia became both his obsession and his comfort - until it became unbearable. And yet, laughter is what pulled him through. From bingeing under the duvet to bingeing on comedy, Dave found healing not in silence, but in stand-up. His hit Edinburgh show Normally Abnormal turned personal pain into public catharsis, proving that humour can be both a scalpel and a salve. If you've ever struggled with food, control, body image, or just the pressure of being “fine,” this is an episode you need to hear. It's about anorexia, yes - but also about masculinity, identity, recovery, and how comedy can reach where words often fail. If you can relate to Dave's experience and would like more information, he references two websites: Hub of Hope [https://hubofhope.co.uk/] - the UK's largest mental health support directory, and Beat Eating Discorder [https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/]. You can find equivalent resources available in other countries via simple web searches. We always recommend you speak to a GP or health professional if you are personally affected by any of the topics covered in the podcast.

“I want other people to know that, like, there's nothing wrong with you. If you have mental health issues, there's help for you and there's life on the other side." - Sims TillirsonThis is the second part of my conversation with Sims Tillirson, the first of which released this Tuesday. In this episode, we focused on Sims' openness about his mental health issues on LinkedIn, his struggle to get off of antidepressants, and destigmatizing conversations about mental health, especially among men. Sims also shared some tips for men who have friends struggling mentally, and how we can all do a better job supporting each other.This episode is pretty distinct from the first, and from most episodes of Self-Funded, but it was an important conversation to be had, and I hope you'll tune in.Chapters:00:00:00 Helping Each Other Through Mental Health Struggles | with Sims Tillirson00:00:32 Destigmatizing Mental Health00:03:15 How Do We Increase Access To Mental Healthcare?00:06:14 The Power of Genuine Listening00:09:54 Holistic Approach to Medication and Mental HealthcareKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/Key Words: Mental Health Awareness, Mens Mental Health, Break The Stigma, Empathetic Listening, Antidepressants, Mindfulness, Depression, Supporting Others, Alternative Therapies, sims tillirson, spencer smith, podcast, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding, self funded health insurance, self funded insurance#MentalHealthAwareness #MensMentalHealth #BreakTheStigma #EmpatheticListening #Antidepressants #Mindfulness #Depression #SupportingOthers #AlternativeTherapies #simstillirson #spencersmith #podcast #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding #selffundedhealthinsurance #selffundedinsurance

About Craig Randall - I've loved stories and literature and writing for as long as I can remember. For just as long, I've also struggled with anxiety and depression. They have loomed over me, all my life, threatening to steal away whatever hope and joy i've worked so hard to build.All my work, the fiction and the poetry, was born out of this struggle as I worked to overcome and deal the hardships these struggles brought on.There's so much to the story, which I will write about later. In the mean time, just know you're not alone. You are brilliant and strong and are not a product of whatever's held you back. You got this! We got this!Oh, one of my main hopes is let men know it's okay to feel, it's okay to express, it's okay that we're not always sure how, but real strength is found in taking that step forward and bearing ourselves to those we love.We can all feel whole!

In this episode, we're joined by Mark Lawry, a former lawyer and long-time stay-at-home dad, who offers a frank and considered account of what it's like to live with depressive illness across much of adult life. Mark brings a calm, articulate perspective to a subject often misrepresented or oversimplified. He speaks plainly about how symptoms first appeared, why he delayed seeking help, and what it means to maintain a functioning exterior while privately struggling. We explore the difficulty of recognising depressive illness when it has no obvious trigger, the reality of managing something that may never fully go away. And the limits of language including the inadequacy of the term “depression” and why “depressive brain malfunction” may be a more accurate description. Mark also reflects on medication, therapy, and how leaving behind a professional identity in favour of something more sustainable helped reduce the frequency of episodes. This is not a dramatic story of crisis and recovery, but a steady, honest account of what it means to live with a chronic mental health condition and how important it is for men to talk about it. NOTE: If you think you may be suffering from depressive illness and/or relate to Mark's experience, the advice is to speak to your GP or other medical professional.

In this powerful and compassionate conversation, we explore what really happens when life knocks down every support structure you thought you could rely on. We talk to Matt, a qualified therapist and podcaster about his own lived experience of emotional collapse in his twenties, the slow journey into therapy, and how healing unfolds - not through instant fixes, but through trust, honesty, and rebuilding from within. Matt demystifies common myths about therapy, shares honest reflections on what it's really like to start therapy for the first time, and discusses the emotional challenges that arise when you begin to face feelings you've long tried to suppress. They talk about what to look for when choosing a therapist, how to know if therapy is helping, and why progress often feels slow but is deeply transformational. This conversation also explores the hidden costs of emotional numbness, the importance of finding trust in the therapy relationship, the misconceptions about being "fixed," and the lifelong work of learning to live fully in your own skin after hardship. If you've ever wondered whether therapy could help you but felt unsure, overwhelmed, or ashamed to seek support, this episode offers powerful reassurance that you are not alone - and that change is possible. You can find links to Matt's work by visiting his Linktree profile https://linktr.ee/matthussey or find him on Linkedin and you can listen to his brilliant podcast 'The Brink – Mental Health Demystified' on the usual podcast platforms.

In this episode, we meet the incomparable John Ryan, award-winning comedian, social commentator, and all-around force for good. With a sharp tongue and a massive heart, John has made it his mission to reach people on the topic of mental health where they least expect it: through laughter. We explore how John's stand-up shows have turned into standing-room-only sessions on suicide awareness, PTSD, loneliness, and resilience. From army barracks to working men's clubs, from prisons to boardrooms, John's toolkit is unconventional but wildly effective - inclusive humour, hard-earned trust, and a refusal to be anything but himself. This conversation is wide-ranging, emotional, and seriously funny. John opens up about growing up in Hackney in a diverse Irish family and his unexpected route into comedy, although he doesn't define himself as a traditional comedian. He challenges toxic norms, dissects the real reason some men spiral after traumatic life events, such as divorce, and explains why sending a meme from the toilet every morning can be an act of care. It's sharp, raw, and deeply human. If you've ever wondered whether comedy can change lives - or even save them - this episode is your answer. To find out more about John's work, visit: https://happytohealthyou.com/.

Resentment is silently fueling your addiction and sabotaging your recovery—and most men don't even know it's happening. In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit System, exposes the hidden force that keeps men stuck in cycles of shame, secrecy, and sabotage: resentment. If you're battling sex addiction or porn addiction, chances are you're also fighting a part of you that feels controlled, dismissed, or unheard.

Whether you're in the early stages of healing or years into recovery, this episode will give you the language, insight, and tools you need to finally stop feeding the wrong wolf—and start taking your power back.Cut & Paste This Link for The Resentment Part PDF - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L60BA7Hk-VuzQa6G302IfysNp4ut_TiR/view?usp=sharing

Content Warning: Talk of death by suicide and depressionDr. Laura welcomes Dr. John Ogrodniczuk, a Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the UBC Psychotherapy Program, about men's mental health and HeadsUpGuys, the men's mental health resource that he co-founded. Men account for 75 to 80% of deaths by suicide and it's the need for resources to tend to this mental health crisis that Dr. John Ogrodniczuk and Dr. Laura discuss. Dr. Ogrodniczuk explains some of the reasons for the high rates of death by suicide among men and the lack of resources specifically targeting men. He and Dr. Laura explore what is needed to assist in dealing with the pressures of life and how that need is addressed by HeadsUpGuys. Featuring real-life stories of depression and how men across the globe have found help as well as self-checks. HeadsUpGuys.org is meeting the mental health needs of men globally as a free online resource, including a search engine for therapists. This episode sheds light on a mental health crisis that is not given enough attention and offers resources to deal with depression.“We have the world's largest collection of real guys sharing their stories of what it was like to be depressed and very importantly, what helped them recover. And so that is a really important thing because when you're experiencing something like depression or anxiety, it's a really isolating experience. You feel so alone. You feel people don't get you. They don't understand you. And thus there's no one to help you. So when there's a lot of other guys out there that have been through the same thing, that's in a way very comforting.” Dr. John OgrodniczukAbout Dr. John Ogrodniczuk:Dr. John Ogrodniczuk is a Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the UBC Psychotherapy Program, one of North America's largest medically based psychotherapy training programs.  His research program focuses on a variety of psychotherapies and patient populations, with a particular focus on personality disorders and men's mental health. Dr. Ogrodniczuk has held several grants to support his research, which has led to over 300 scientific publications.

In this episode, my guest is Ian Morgan Cron, bestselling author, psychotherapist, and Enneagram expert.  Most people hear “12 Steps” and think of Alcoholics Anonymous. But what if we told you this programme isn't just for people struggling with alcohol or drugs? What if it could help anyone - including you - break free from unhealthy patterns, destructive habits, or even the little things that keep you stuck? Ian dives into what the 12 Steps are really about, why they work, and how they can be life-changing - even if you don't think of yourself as an addict. Ian shares his own raw, honest journey with addiction and recovery, what finally made the 12 Steps click, and why they've become a blueprint for living with more freedom, purpose, and peace. We're talking real, practical wisdom - letting go of control, facing your fears, rebuilding trust, and making peace with yourself (and others). No judgment, no clichés - just an open conversation about what actually helps people break free from whatever's holding them back. If you've ever felt stuck in a pattern you can't shake, this episode is for you.To find out more about Ian, visit his website: https://ianmorgancron.com/.  Ian's latest book "The Fix - How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation For the Well-adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone in Between," and his bestseller, "The Road Back to You – An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery," are available to buy from online book retailers. 

In this deeply personal episode, Will Castle shares his experience of losing his father to suicide and the years of silence that followed. He reflects on the complexities of his childhood, his father's struggles, and the moment everything changed. Will speaks openly about the grief, isolation, and self-destructive behaviour he experienced in the aftermath. He explains how he felt compelled to show no emotion even at the funeral, as well as the unspoken pressures that made it harder to ask for help. He also discusses what eventually helped him begin to heal: finding support, sharing his story, and turning his pain into action. Now a suicide prevention campaigner, a mental health advocate, and a father himself, he reflects on his life now and talks about being an executive producer for 'Heirlooms', a short film about the challenges faced by those who have been bereaved by suicide. This conversation is not about easy answers but about what it really means to live with loss, to break the silence around suicide, and to support others who are grieving. If you can relate to any of the issues Will discussed in this episode or you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, there are organisations you can call now, for example, the Samaritans in the UK on 116 123, and if you are in the US, you the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you want to learn more about Will, visit his website: https://willcastle.com/ where you can also watch ‘Heirlooms'. To find out more about the support available from Suicide and Co, the bereavement by suicide charity, visit https://www.suicideandco.org/.

In this compelling episode, two-time Olympian Jack Green shares his raw and deeply personal journey through elite sport, mental health struggles, and the  pursuit of fulfilment beyond medals. At the peak of his career, Jack was competing on the world's biggest stage, yet behind the scenes, he was battling depression, anxiety, and bipolar tendencies. His story is a stark reminder that success doesn't always mean happiness - even for those who seem to have it all. Jack speaks candidly about how his all-or-nothing mindset led to burnout, how the pressure to perform kept him from seeking help, and the moment he finally hit rock bottom. Diagnosed with severe mental health challenges, he spent time in a psychiatric hospital, where he was forced to confront his identity beyond being an athlete. But Jack's journey didn't end with sport. Today, he's a passionate advocate for mental health in the workplace, working with corporations to rethink how they support employee well-being. He shares why business leaders need to move beyond token gestures and start creating cultures where people feel safe to be vulnerable. His message? Performance and mental well-being aren't opposites -they go hand in hand. Whether you're an athlete, a business leader, or someone struggling with their own sense of worth, this episode is a powerful reminder that resilience isn't about pushing through - it's about speaking up. 

In this episode, I'm joined by Cedric Bertelli as we dive deep into the hidden mechanics of emotional pain, trauma, and healing. Our guest shares his insights from years of research on how the brain forms destructive emotional patterns - like anxiety, fear, and self-doubt - and, more importantly, how we can break free from them. Why do we numb our pain with alcohol, overwork, or other destructive behaviours? The answer might not be what you think. Discover how trauma - big or small - can leave emotional imprints that resurface as self-sabotaging patterns, often without us realising it. This episode is a practical guide for anyone ready to reclaim control of their emotional well-being. Learn how to recognise when your body signals unresolved trauma and how simple, intuitive steps can help you resolve emotional triggers - without needing to revisit the trauma itself. We also explore the radical idea that hope might actually block healing and discuss why facing your emotions head-on could be the most powerful step toward true freedom. Hear from Cedric how his life-changing approach has helped countless people free themselves from emotional baggage they've carried for years. If you're ready to break cycles of fear, anxiety, or anger - and find genuine emotional relief - this episode could be your first step toward transformation. To find out more about Cedric's work and Emotional Resolution (EmRes®), visit https://www.emotionalhealthinstitute.org/.

In this episode, I am joined by Tom Oxley, a workplace mental health consultant, trainer, and support specialist whose TEDx talk on mental health has inspired over three-quarters of a million viewers. Years ago, while forging a fast-paced career in advertising, marketing, and PR, Tom hit a wall. His relentless schedule and lifestyle eventually caused a profound mental health crisis, leaving him tearful, unable to focus, and uncertain where to turn for help. In this candid conversation, Tom opens up about the early warning signs he ignored, the manager who finally urged him to seek help, and the confusion and loneliness he felt when handed a medical note reading “stress, anxiety, depression.” He also shares how a well-intentioned workplace can still fall short if they lack the right tools, knowledge, or empathy and why one supportive boss can make all the difference. We explore the vital role of self-care, from getting enough sleep and movement to building “opposite activities” into daily life - pursuits that have nothing to do with work and everything to do with staying grounded. Tom offers practical insights for both employees and employers: how to recognise burnout in yourself or a colleague, the legal obligations companies have around stress risk assessments, and why a culture of openness matters more than any flashy wellness initiative. If you've ever felt trapped in a job that's draining you or if you manage a team and wonder how to foster genuine mental well-being this episode is packed with down-to-earth advice, personal stories, and hope for positive change. Join us as Tom reveals how he turned a life-altering crisis into a calling, becoming a go-to voice for healthier, more compassionate workplaces everywhere. If you want to find out more about Tom visit his website: https://bamboomentalhealth.co.uk/. You can find Tom's TEDx talk here: Workplace Mental Health – What you need to know (for now).

In this powerful episode, Patrick Sperry reflects on how perfectionism created an endless cycle of striving and dissatisfaction. From giving up a promising professional soccer career to chasing a dream of being a rock star in Hollywood (and a stint as David Beckham's body double) his journey took him through heartache, creative highs, and personal reckoning. Along the way, yoga became a lifeline - initially a form of escape but ultimately a path to inner alchemy and profound self-discovery. Through the physical and spiritual practices of yoga, Patrick found new ways to engage with life, shifting from hyper-competitiveness to compassionate connection. This episode also dives into the critical need for male role models and the importance of community as medicine. Our guest explores how modern isolation has fractured traditional spaces for emotional connection, urging men to step out of their comfort zones and into circles of vulnerability, growth, and shared purpose. Whether through yoga, meaningful conversations, or communal activities, he shares how embracing discomfort is key to integrating fragmented identities and discovering a deeper sense of belonging which he teaches today through his coaching and the Flourish Well-Being organisation. If you've ever felt trapped by societal expectations, perfectionism, or a longing for something more, this episode offers a roadmap to rediscovering your authentic self. Join us for a conversation that bridges competition and compassion, ambition and acceptance, and isolation and connection - ultimately reminding us all of the transformative power of presence and community. If you want to find out more about Patrick as a yoga, meditation and well-being coach ‘A path to a life you love' visit https://www.patsperrylove.com/. To find out more about Flourish Well-Being retreats and other programmes Patrick mentions then visit https://www.peaceloveflourish.com/.

Are you craving more energy, deeper relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose, yet somehow, you are caught in a cycle of “unshakable unhappiness”? In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with psychologist and Silicon Valley executive coach Dr. Adam Dorsey to explore how tapping into the power of authentic connection can transform every area of your life. Drawing on his personal journey and clinical experience with high-achieving men, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and global tech companies, Dr. Dorsey reveals why many of us—especially men—struggle to name and process our emotions, and how this disconnect can fuel anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness. Adam also introduces his groundbreaking framework from his new book, Super Psyched: Unleash the Power of the Four Types of Connection and Live the Life You Love, explaining how these four pillars of connection - self, others, the world, and something greater - are the bedrock of genuine fulfilment. Along the way, we tackle the power of self-compassion (even Navy SEALs use it!), the science of gratitude for rewiring negative thought patterns, and the courage it takes to reshape your life - even when you feel stuck in a job or situation that seems unchangeable. If you've ever felt the gap between what you know and what you do, this conversation will inspire you to close it. Listen and discover practical, research-backed ways to rewrite your inner script, harness your strengths, and step fully into the rich, connected life you deserve.  If you want to find out more about Adam, visit his website: dradamdorsay.com. Adam's TEDx talks are both available on YouTube: Friendships in Adulthood: 5 Things to Know, and Emotions: The Data Men Miss. Adam's book Super Psyched: Unleash the Power of the 4 Types of Connection and Live the Life You Love is available to buy on Amazon.

Eli is a student at Appalachian State University studying in the department of communication. We discuss the consequences of our actions and how our behaviors and decisions can affect those in ways that we did not fully expect. Eli recently struggled with depressive thoughts, so we dive into the decisions he made to pull himself out of it and develop new perspectives. A great conversation with a great person.Use my code: EYESAC for 15% off your entire order @ www.mountaineerbrand.com Use same code: EYESAC for 10% off your order @ www.scentsbyyaya.comThank you so much for watching!
