Show Notes
Men’s mental health is still one of the hardest conversations to have, both at work and at home.
Despite all the progress in recent years, too many men continue to stay silent, with devastating consequences.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tim Wotton, who’s faced more challenges than most, living with cystic fibrosis and type 1 diabetes, and yet has built a life defined by resilience, discipline and hope.
Tim shares what he’s learned about strength, survival, and why it’s time we change the way men are supported to talk about their mental health.
Highlights:
(05:03) Why silence is still mistaken for strength
(11:37) Tim’s ‘power of three’ resilience philosophy
(18:18) Discipline as the unglamorous key to survival
(27:43) The unseen struggles hidden behind a smile
(36:11) Why men still fear showing vulnerability
