The theme for this year’s International Men’s Day is ‘Zero Male Suicide’. The national suicide rate has shown no decline since 2018, with more than 5,000 suicides occurring annually in England. The male suicide rate remains three times higher than that for females, with the most significant age group being 50-54 year-olds. Additionally, there is a concerning upward trend in suicide rates among young people. Please check in on your male allies and make sure you are supporting them! For #internationalmensday #mensmentalhealth we have a special episode, as we are going to do something different.
My guests are three lifelong friends, who have something very special, which is a safe space to talk about their feelings, without fear of judgement. I want to celebrate three men, who talk openly about their mental health, and who I know the audience will relate to. I hope someone comes away from today’s conversation, knowing it’s not a sign of weakness to talk about feelings, it’s a sign of strength and courage. Key Takeaways for Men’s Mental Health are:
Bob – “You’re not alone, you may think you’re alone, but there is someone, or some people out there who are genuinely concerned about your mental health and how you are, you’ve just got to go out there and find them”
Roops – “Transfer your negative thoughts, into positive thoughts, it takes a bit of time, but if you can persevere, then over time you will reap the benefits and you will lead a more fuller and joyful life”
Sukh – “You can do the meditation, you can do the breathwork, but none of this will truly work until you have recognition and acceptance that you need to do something about it…you have to help yourself….never keep anything inside, let it out”
Resham – “People need people, so find your people, it might take time, but you will find your people”
Join me as I have an enlightening conversation with Sukh Padda, founder of Bodisync, about his incredible journey of stepping into his true purpose. We talk about his various jobs before his entrepreneurial journey began and how he was reluctant to go into holistic health as even he believed it was Mumbo Jumbo! He openly shares the initial struggles he faced from family and friends and how he overcame them to be openly accepted and celebrated for everything he's achieved today.
