I always knew therapy wouldn't be an easy thing to do...But my god - it's worth the try.I had alot I needed to figure out, work on and acknowledge. It's allowing me to do so in a structured way without feeling like I'm being asked invasive questions.Talking truly does help.I try and encourage you all to do this via these episodes I put out. We really need to keep spreading this movement and spot eachother throughout life. Encourage eachother to talk. Listen without judgement. Provide safe spaces for those struggling.I'm looking forward to going forward on this journey. Alot has happened in my life that I haven't processed at all...It's time to face these events and try to move forward.Always forward!

Its time to be honest...

I have not felt like making this episode - until now.

I have not been in the best state of mind myself recently. And thats ok! I just needed to take some action my side and to figure things out.

Life is good - but I need to prioritise myself and my mental well-being.

I am starting NOW.

Therapy - its not something to be ashamed of.

Talking - we must do MORE of it!

Being honest - why shouldnt we?

Pouring energy into myself - well, its obvious? If I dont, who will?

All these things. I needed to get to the bottom of these issues.

The Spotter is back and we are coming back STRONG.

A little fun to see out the festive period and bring the year to an end!

Thanks to all those who submitted the questions.

Big year ahead for the podcast and ensuring men are heard. I will not stop. I want to be the voice you all need.

The mission continues...

As a man, its easy for me to talk about how men may feel about their future. Worrying about being good enough, showing up, supporting and providing. Its all the themes that circle...

But do we all just worry?

Whilst I recorded this one during and for mens mental health month, the subject still applies to many.

Why do we worry so much?

Is it this need to have a goal, something to keep up focussed, ensuring we are working towards being better?

I feel like the constant sense of worry and anxiety lives strong in me. I feel it stops me sometimes from being present and enjoying moments to the fullest. I feel as a 'man' I should be showing up and being there for others.

I also feel like we still have this feeling of 'having' to BE someone for others in the future. A strong individual. A provider. Always thinking about the next move, goal or big decision to ensure we come across as successfull.

Its SO mentally draining...

I feel like the inner child in me just wants to chill out sometimes and remember what made him happy when times were simple.

Anyone else agree?

Let me know in the comments and get in touch!

Im back!

Solo episode - back to realising why I started this.

Its mens mental health month and I have had a break away the last month. Now its time to show up for YOU.

I need to be more open.

I need to talk more.

I need to be the person I am for others, for myself!

So - this is my way of showing up...Im trying...

I wanted to open up about where I am at the moment. What Im struggling with. How I struggle to 'switch off' and really focus. Theres alot in this one.

I hope, with me sharing, It enables you to feel comfortable sharing too. Please do not suffer in silence. Lets talk and spot eachother through this crazy life.

Harry Corio, a young bodybuilder who joined me on the podcast to discuss all things life, purpose and finding a passion in this crazy world of bodybuilding!

It was no simple conversation - we delved into many topics. Purpose in our careers, struggles in personal lives and how we could all be a little less judgmental in life.

I learned alot about Harry - his role is NOT simple. He faces challenges on the daily and truly does his part to help others.

Honestly, listen along, I dont think you will know where its going until you listen to the episode fully.

These conversations allow us to all open up and feel apart of something. Thats all I wanted to do with this and Harry is the perfect guest.

Classic physique athlete? Well listen along too! He delves into how he turned his love for the golden era of bodybuilding into a side gig of helping others with their posing too.

Heres to many more conversations just like this...

Dan, the lead singer from the band Shoot to Kill, joins me on the podcast to talk LIFE.

A raw and honest discussion about bullying, the importance of the gym environment on his life and direction, family struggles, being homeless and finding himself in life.

It was deep, emotional, funny and honest. This is what we want from conversations. True interactions that bring out the best in us. Through discussion and conversation, we help eachother and support those struggling in silence.

Dan opened up on this episode, and it made me do the same!

I've known Dan for many years, but we have never had a conversation like this before.

It hits home.

It hits deep.

Its truthful.

Its powerful.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think or if this has helped in any way.

Do not struggle in silence - please do seek help.

This week’s episode is raw. After an emotional weekend, I realised I’m not over losing my Dad in 2021. I open up about what grief has truly felt like for me, how it shows up in unexpected ways, and the lessons I’m still learning about loss and healing.

I know these emotions will come and go - what matters is allowing myself to feel them. For years, I had a tendency to shut them off or block them out. I can’t do that anymore, not when I’m trying to show up for others through this podcast.

I’m still learning. I’m not 100% healed. I’m still dealing with the loss of my best friend. Grief never really goes away - it just becomes a little easier to carry with time.

To anyone out there struggling with loss: I hear you. It’s a heartbreaking journey, but you do not have to suffer in silence.
