๐ค How often do you feel ashamed/ embarrassed/ scared as a man to talk about your mental health and emotions? Letโs get rid of this stigma now. Give this episode a listen - a must watch for everyone out there.
๐ The ability for men to open up about themselves and talk about something they are going through might depend on different factors such as their nationality, culture or their upbringing.
Both men and women go through different mental health issues. But the way they show up is very different.
๐ง We talked a lot of about typical stereotypes in this episode that men are often taught or believed to become since childhood:
๐ Youโre a man. You need to be strong.
๐ Donโt be a girl. Stop crying.
๐ Be strong. You need to toughen up.
๐ Mate, I think you are just coming out with your feminine side.
๐ Women are supposed to be emotional and men are supposed to be strong.
๐ Women are supposed to cry and men are supposed to hide their tears.
โค๏ธ Thatโs what and how the society lets things be treated as normal and expressing emotions just keeps on becoming tougher for men. George and I wanted to do this special episode with Miriam Wood who specialises in Menโs Mental Health. She did an exceptional job in covering all aspects around Men & Mental Health.
We had a great discussion around Men & Mental Health with Miriam Wood on the Ultimate Global Podcast very recently, who joined us as the 130th speaker on the Podcast.
