Today we have a candid and important conversation with Chris Hart, a men's mental health coach.

We discuss the importance of mental health awareness, drawing parallels between human experiences and animal behaviours in the wild.

We highlight the significance of community, connection, and altruism in enhancing mental wellbeing. Chris shares his personal journey and coping mechanisms, emphasising the need for individuals to prioritise their mental health just as they do their physical wellbeing.

We delve into the complexities of mental health, particularly focusing on the challenges of maintaining positive routines amidst negative thought patterns and the importance of escapism, outdoor activities, and natural light in enhancing mental well-being.

Chris also highlights the societal pressures on men to appear strong and the need for open conversations about mental health and shares his personal journey with ADHD and BPD, emphasising the significance of community support and the newly launched Yeah You? brand aimed at fostering discussions around men's mental health.

Another fantastic episode!
