Movember: The Weight Men Carry

Some of the heaviest things men carry are the things nobody else can see.

In this special Movember episode, I share why I'm participating in Movember for the first time and why men's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing is something incredibly close to my heart.

After experiencing one of the most challenging years of my life, I've come to understand that strength isn't simply about pushing through adversity. Sometimes it's about vulnerability, recognising when you're struggling and having the courage to accept support.

We explore men's mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, testicular cancer and the importance of turning awareness into meaningful action.

I also share my personal Movember commitments, including walking 60 kilometres with a weighted vest, cycling 60 kilometres and challenging myself physically to represent some of the invisible burdens men carry.

The Back Yourself Project is built around Self Trust, Responsibility, Courage, Alignment and Action.

And this episode is a reminder that looking after yourself isn't selfish. It's one of the most important responsibilities you'll ever have.

Because your life matters. Your health matters. And the people who love you deserve the opportunity to have you around for years to come.

We often think self trust is something we either have or we don't.

But what if we've misunderstood it all along?

In this episode, I explore why self trust isn't built before action. It's built because of action. Every promise we keep to ourselves becomes evidence that we can be relied upon. Every promise we break slowly erodes the relationship we have with ourselves.

Most people aren't struggling because they're incapable.

They're struggling because they've stopped believing their own word.

Back Yourself Project is built on five core pillars: Self Trust, Responsibility, Courage, Alignment and Action.

And this episode is a reminder that confidence isn't the starting point.

It is the result of consistently showing up, keeping your word, and proving to yourself that you can be trusted.

Are you really confused, or are you avoiding the truth you already know?

In this episode, I unpack the difference between genuine confusion and the kind of confusion we use to delay responsibility, avoid discomfort, or stay stuck in patterns we already understand.

Sometimes the problem is not that we do not know what to do.

It is that the next honest step will cost us comfort, certainty, or the version of ourselves we keep protecting.

Back Yourself Project is about Self Trust, Responsibility, Courage, Alignment and Action.

And this episode is a direct reminder:

Clarity does not always come before action.

Sometimes clarity comes because you finally stop avoiding the decision.

For a while, I disappeared.

Not because I stopped believing in the message.

Not because I stopped caring about the mission.

But because life tested me in ways I wasn't expecting.

Over the last six months, I've experienced one of the most challenging seasons of my life. A season that forced me to confront who I was, what I valued, and whether I truly believed the lessons I had spent years teaching others.

In this special episode, I share why I stepped away, what I learned during that time, and why the Back Yourself Project is returning stronger than ever.

This isn't a conversation about blame, resentment, or reliving the past.

It's a conversation about self trust.

Responsibility.

Courage.

Alignment.

Action.

The very pillars this project was built upon.

Because I've learned that backing yourself isn't something you do when life is easy.

It's something you do when life falls apart and you have every reason to quit.

If you've ever found yourself questioning your direction, rebuilding after a setback, carrying the weight of uncertainty, or trying to rediscover who you are, this episode is for you.

The mission is still here.

The message is still here.

And I'm back.

What if the real problem is not a lack of clarity, but your need for certainty?

Most people are not stuck because they do not know what to do.

They are stuck because they are waiting to feel sure before they act.

In this episode, I break down one of the most common patterns holding people back. The habit of waiting for more information, better timing, or reassurance before making a move.

On the surface, it looks responsible.

But underneath, it often becomes avoidance.

You will start to see how overthinking, constant research, and seeking advice can quietly delay decisions that are already clear.

This episode challenges the belief that certainty comes before action.

It does not.

Clarity is often built through movement, not before it.

If you have been waiting for the right moment, the right feeling, or the right level of confidence, this conversation will force a different question.

What is waiting actually costing you?

Most people already know what needs to change in their life.

They know the conversation they should have.

The decision they have been avoiding.

The standard they need to raise.

The direction they should move.

Yet many still hesitate.

In this first episode of the Back Yourself Project podcast, Ben Cheniart explores a pattern that quietly affects almost everyone. The gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Why do people delay decisions they already know the answer to?

Why do we wait for certainty, approval, or perfect timing before acting?

And what does it really take to rebuild trust in your own judgement so action becomes normal instead of rare?

This episode explores the psychology behind hesitation, the role fear and external validation play in delaying decisions, and why self trust is often the missing piece between intention and movement.

If you have ever felt the quiet frustration of knowing what needs to change but not acting on it yet, this conversation will challenge you to take a closer look.

Because at some point the question becomes simple.

Are you willing to back yourself?

The Back Yourself Project Podcast exists for people who sense there is more available in their life but feel the gap between knowing and doing.

Most people are not short on insight. They know the conversations they need to have, the decisions they need to make, and the changes that would move their life forward. What often holds them back is hesitation, doubt, overthinking, or the belief that they need more certainty before they act.

This podcast is about closing that gap.

Through honest reflection, lived experience, and practical judgement, the Back Yourself Podcast explores the decisions, behaviours, and patterns that shape the direction of our lives. These conversations focus on what it actually looks like to take ownership, trust your judgement, and move forward when things feel uncomfortable or uncertain.

At the centre of the podcast are five core principles.

Self TrustResponsibilityCourageAlignmentAction

These are not abstract ideas. They are operational standards that influence how we lead ourselves, how we navigate relationships, how we respond to setbacks, and how we follow through on the direction we want our lives to move in.

Each episode explores real life situations through these lenses. Sometimes that looks like unpacking a decision. Sometimes it means examining the patterns that keep people stuck. Other times it involves conversations with people who have faced significant challenges and chosen to respond with ownership and forward movement.

This is not a podcast built around hype or motivation.

The goal is clarity.

Clarity about what matters.
Clarity about what needs to change.
Clarity about what the next step actually looks like.

Because confidence rarely appears before action. More often, it grows as a result of it.

If you have ever found yourself knowing what needs to happen in your life but hesitating to take the step, this podcast is for you.

The intention behind the Back Yourself Podcast is simple.

To create honest conversations that help people think clearly, take responsibility for their direction, and move forward with conviction.

If something in these conversations resonates with you, the next step is not just to listen. It is to engage, reflect, and apply what you are hearing in your own life.

You are always closer to momentum than you think when you are willing to back yourself.
