Hey guys, welcome back to Episode 9! This week I chat with James, who is the host of 'The Rut pod', a podcast that explores men's mental health. It's important to note that we do talk about depression and suicidal thoughts, in case this is triggering for you. 

James speaks so openly about losing his grandad, who he was incredibly close to. Quite often people are floored by the grief of a grandparent, yet society can sometimes dismiss it because of the person being elderly. Please remember, your grief is totally valid and James is great proof of this.

We also speak a lot about his struggle with depression and his advice on how to get back on track, by taking small steps to recovery. James is a believer that we must take responsibility for our mental health and that by getting comfortable with the uncomfortable, you can find your way back to peace again.
