In this episode, I’m diving into the messy realities of modern life. Dealing with mean girl behavior and toxic workplace dynamics and deciding when it’s time to move on to new opportunities. I also share the growing appeal of stepping away from social media for the sake of our mental health. What happens when we unplug? Is a social media detox really worth it? When does social media become too much? Plus, I discuss author Clancy Martin and his powerful book, 'How Not to Kill Yourself', exploring themes of mental health, resilience, and the difficult conversations we need to have more often. I also relate Martin's struggles to my own and find comfort in the fact he has experiences that are very similar to mine. I felt this fitting for the start of 'Men's Mental Health Awareness Month'.
I'm dedicating this episode to any man who has been brave enough to say they need help, is currently struggling, is out of the trenches, or is staying in silence. You matter and I hope you know help is out there for you.
