I was part of a campaign called 'Outside View' to generate awareness about men's mental health and pathways to therapy for the BACP. It's really wonderful to be a part of something meaningful.

Being in your 30’s realising that most of the good stuff in life is simple and something you probably experienced before. Just that you were too emotionally immature to appreciate it at the time.

Wrote an article entitled: “Therapy, Masculinity, and Me: A Personal Reckoning.”
In this post I reflect on my experience as a man in therapy since October 2023, what it’s taught me, what it’s cost, and how it’s helping me rebuild my sense of self.

A journey into the mess, the growth, and everything I was never taught to talk about.

Just published a new piece on emotional processing & what it means for men—especially those taught to keep the peace instead of feel.
It’s personal, reflective, & rooted in lived experience.
Would love for you to read & share:

Just a honest writer trying to stay relevant after hitting it big in his early 20’s. Mainly exploring masculinity, mental health & lived experience.

Forgot to share on here but sadly I developed an infection while here in the work which meant I needed emergency surgery on Wednesday - it’s very unexpected and anxiety inducing.
I’m grateful to be on the mend and if this has taught me anything, it’s that health is truly your wealth.

Had a wonderful morning delivering our men’s peer support program down under in Melbourne, Australia! It’s amazing to continue scaling our curriculum on an international scale 🌼
So grateful for our partners, Taraki and the men who attend our program!

I really enjoy the show #alphamales but this season feels so rushed, to the point where moments of personal growth for characters feel brushed over.
