🎙️Breaking the silence on what it means to be a man
Too many men are struggling in silence. In this powerful episode, Paul McGregor is joined by Ross Abbott for a raw, honest conversation about men’s mental health; why so many men aren’t talking, and what happens when they finally do.
Together, they share personal stories, reflect on the pressures men face, and challenge outdated ideas of masculinity. From the fear of being judged to the myths around ‘manning up,’ they unpack what stops men from reaching out, and how we can start to change that.
With suicide as the leading cause of death for men under 50 and only 36% of NHS talking therapy referrals being male, it’s clear: we need to talk.
Whether you’re struggling yourself or want to better understand how to support the men in your life, this episode is for you. It’s about opening up, showing up, and reminding each other that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.
