Join us this week for a special men's mental health podcast in collaboration with Movember. 

It's not easy out there. Juggling responsibilities, craving rest where there is little time, keeping struggles to yourself. Life can be a very difficult thing to navigate, and today's episode we hope to help with some honest chat interwoven between poems from both established voices and new writers sharing gifts to help through darker days.

A special thank you to Daragh Fleming who has created a poetry anthology with Movember where you can find all the poems we share and a heap load more. 

MO Poems by Movember and Daragh Fleming is available now and all proceeds go to the Movember charity. If you'd like a copy, click the link in our bio or drop us a message.

I know we all say its time to talk, but doing that isn't easy. Hopefully this podcast starts a few more conversations from anyone struggling.
