If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out.    This is one of the most honest episodes I have ever recorded.    I have spent the last five months in therapy, working through grief I suppressed for years \u2014 losing my dad, leaving the military, the breakdown of my first marriage, and the identity I built my whole life around. And this morning, I sat in the kitchen and cried. Not because I am depressed. Because I am finally dealing with it.    In this episode, I talk openly about men's mental health \u2014 what it actually looks like, what causes it, and what I believe every man needs to hear.    Inside this episode:    \u2022Why men's mental health is still misunderstood \u2014 and how far we have come in the last 10 years    \u2022My own story: PTSD after leaving the Royal Marines, drinking, divorce, and coming minutes away from taking my own life    \u2022The picture of my kids that stopped me \u2014 and why I am grateful every single day    \u2022Why identity, self-worth, and loneliness are the three biggest mental health struggles I see in men    \u2022How childhood belief systems drive the way men think, act, and struggle as adults    \u2022Why I struggle to see myself as a success \u2014 and how that reflects my self-worth    \u2022The difference between being depressed and grieving \u2014 and why men need to learn how to grieve    \u2022Why mental health is like a pile of files stacking higher and higher until it all falls    \u2022Why the morning routine is not about making more money \u2014 it is about priming your mind to stay strong    \u2022How to start: get up earlier, find your thoughts, and stay in the fight    If I had taken my own life, there would be no Jemima, no Darcy, no Alba. No books. No men coached. No life worth living.    Stay in the fight.
