How can a man be masculine at work, without being toxic?

Award-winning mental health advocate Nick Elston, and Michael Millward host of the Abeceder health and wellbeing podcast Fit For My Age attempt to define what being successfully masculine at work looks like.

Why is it that the men who are the first to offer help to others appear to be the ones who are least likely to ask for help when they need it themselves? That is part of the problem, to be perceived as masculine men must fulfil outdated expectations and be criticised when they do not fulfil more modern expectations.

During their attempt to answer this and many other questions Michael and Nick explore

• Father son relationships and family expectations
• Being an introvert who is seen as the strong silent type
• The expectations of physicality
• The lack of positive role models of masculinity

The conclusion that Michael and Nick reach may surprise you!

Alenka Kyslik explains how Saha Collective helps you to navigate your holistic health journey.

Alenka Kyslik was an IT professional until she realised the way the industry worked was giving her burnout and destroying her health. Conventional medicine was not delivering results, so Alenka decided to investigate holistic approaches to health care.

It was not plain sailing, but Alenka did eventually find the correct therapists. Her lived experience motivated Alenka to use her technical skills to ensure that other people would find it easier to identify the right holistic therapists for them.

In this episode of Fit For My Age, Alenka explains to host Michael Millward what holistic health is. She explains using her lived experience what holistic therapies can do and what they will not be able to do.

Alenka explains how Saha uses an extensive range of criteria to match clients to the most appropriate holistic therapist
