ManVsMood Podcast Ep1
Hello everyone! This may be the first time you’ve stumbled upon ManVsMood so I’ll give you a little info on what this is all about. ManVsMood is about men embracing their mental health journey in life to become better men, fathers, husbands and friends. The show is hosted by Will and Mike and in this first show we introduce ourselves, discuss a little bit about our mental health struggles and what we hope to do with ManVsMood.
We aren’t here to tell you what to do. We want to shine an incredibly bright light on the challenges men (and women, but we’re focused on men) face when it comes to their mental health. We want to create a community where men can feel open to discussing what’s going on between their ears. We’re not doctors and we’re not offering medical advice. What we are offering is two guys that have struggled with mental health, whether that be depression, anxiety, addiction or a host of other issues men confront on a daily basis.
We don’t have any of this figured out and that’s just fine. That’s, I think, one of the biggest things we’ve got to face. We need to be strong men, we need to be vibrant men and most importantly, we need to be masculine men but right now society is trying to make that hard for us.
I know, some of you might say we’re being “girly” or pansies. That’s fine, no worries, but you should know that we’re trying to add positive masculinity to men’s mental health. Give us a shot, we’ll show you that it’s great to be a man that can discuss his mental health and seek to make changes that better his life.
We’re getting started, so please be patient. I’m updating the website to include resources for mental health, suicide prevention, addiction and more. We also want to hear from you. Head on over to Facebook and join our group. We want to be very interactive with the hopes of bringing events and fellowship for men. We also have a YouTube channel we’ll be posting content to as well, so be sure to check us out all over the internet.
The first podcast is being published on a couple of different platforms, one on my old KCP channel and one on the new MvM channel. Check the channels below:
We wanted to start ASAP so some of the semantics will take us some time but Mike and I aim to be your one stop shop for men’s mental health discussions.
