Burnout doesn’t come from weakness.
It comes from carrying responsibility for too long and telling yourself you’ll deal with it later.

In this episode, I talk honestly about what it looks like when you’re still showing up, still providing, still pushing — but quietly running on empty.

From working years past my sell-by date, to realising I’m doing it again, to sitting there one night watching a western and laughing as I said out loud, “I’m a fucking pioneer” — this episode is about recognising burnout before it breaks you.

We talk about:

• the pressure of being the provider

• why “just keep grinding” isn’t a plan

• how burnout actually shows up at home

• why this isn’t about running away, but changing direction

• and what it means to build a life with intention, not just endurance

This isn’t a how-to.
There are no neat answers.

Just an honest conversation about burnout, identity, legacy, and why having a plan matters.

If this lands with you — or you know someone it will — share it with them.

Because being strong doesn’t mean breaking yourself in silence.

This episode is about why men need other men in their lives — more than we probably admit.

Not therapy.
Not fixing each other.
Just proper laughs, honest conversations, and spaces where nothing leaves the room.

From trade vans and late-night drives, to card nights, and kitchen banter with your kids — this is about the moments that remind you who you are when life gets heavy.

If you’ve stopped going out.
If you’re knackered.
If you’ve convinced yourself you don’t need it anymore.

This episode’s for you.

Silence doesn’t fix it.
Laughter helps.
Other men help.

This episode came from a normal evening.

Dinner round the table with the family, then pulling my boots on and heading out for a walk.

I talk about how sitting together in the evenings has changed our family dynamic, why it wasn’t always possible before, and how something as simple as an evening walk can clear your head and lead you forward in ways you don’t expect.

I also touch on giving up booze, starting things I’d put off for years, and a recent conversation where I had to check my ego and listen to some honest feedback.

This isn’t polished or preachy — it’s just real life and what’s working right now.

If you’re feeling foggy, stuck, or just going through the motions, this one’s worth a listen.
