"Men dont cry". "Its weak to talk about your emotions". "Big boys always stay strong". Have you heard these statements? Have you ever wondered if these "Chest thumping" or "James Bond" archetypes are helpful or harmful?

In this episode we deconstruct these statements and dive deep into this subject.

-------------------

On this Episode listen to Adil's story - on how he had suffered in silence, suppressing his emotions and even numbing them.

Eventually, the toll on his mental health became too much and he hit rock bottom, and how he came out on the other side. This gave him clarity of purpose to teach as many men as possible how to express their emotions with the intention of tackling the stigma around men's mental health.

We dig deep into what does it really mean to be a man or masculine? We also discuss is anger good or bad? Listen and explore with us.

-------------------

After 10 years working for the UK Government, Adil shifted the trajectory of his career to become a Men's Coach, certified Lifestyle and Mindset Coach, Personal Trainer and Motivational Speaker. He has studied Neuro Linguistic Programming, Jung’s Masculine Archetypes with Alexander Cottle, breathwork, meditation and worked with master coaches in order to offer his clients the range of modalities required to make long lasting impact to their lives.

Adil is committed to tackling the underlying issues that cause his clients to feel stressed and unhappy with their lives, whilst interweaving various modalities such as NLP, mindfulness, meditation, physical fitness, biohacking and traditional life coaching frameworks.

His mission is to help people from all over the world see life from a new lens, and to show them that they really can be the architect of their own lives.
