šļø Episode 3 - From Rock Bottom to Real Purpose - Steveās Mental Health Recovery Journey
This week on Definitely Not Therapy, weāre bringing you a powerful, emotional, and incredibly honest mental health conversation with Steve, a man I once worked withābut whoās walked one of the hardest journeys imaginable.
At one point, Steve was living in complete isolationāalone in a cramped bedsit, struggling with depression, no family or friends to lean on, and no hope for tomorrow. Like many men battling mental health issues, he didnāt have the language to describe his pain, let alone ask for help.
But this episode isnāt about hopelessness.
Itās about healing, recovery, and the strength it takes to fight back.
Today, Steve is engaged, thriving in a career heās passionate about, and actively supporting others through ManSpaceāa safe mental health support group for men who need a place to talk, share, and just be real.
This episode is for anyone whoās felt stuck, broken, or invisible. Itās raw, itās unfiltered, and itās exactly the kind of menās mental health story we need to amplify.
š§ In This Mental Health Podcast Episode, We Cover:
The loneliness epidemic affecting men today
How Steve survived his lowest pointāand what kept him going
The importance of peer support spaces like ManSpace
What real-life recovery looks like (spoiler: itās not linear)
