This episode I talk about the traditions my family held, the pattern that caused meltdowns in my first employed job, the kid hating his first Christmas dinner, and how I'm breaking the traditions this year.

Because this year has been different in many ways, may as well finish it off differently!

As a nod to Men's Mental Health and International Men's Day (19th) I chatted to guest Aaron Solly about his movement to help others who feel stuck, as he has extensive lived experience of mental health struggles, which he overcame taking the lessons with him as he went along.

Aaron SollyMental Wellness Coach | Author | Founder of Engage Coaching GroupFor many years, Aaron struggled with low self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence. He felt like an underdog in life, battling depression and searching for answers to why he felt so stuck..

It wasn’t until he shifted his mindset, began asking new questions, and embraced personal growth that he discovered the path to healing.

Today, his mission is to help men—particularly those in sales or high-pressure careers—who feel trapped by stress, depression, or life’s challenges. He has walked that path, and now he guides others through it.Through his company, Engage Coaching Group, he helps his clients with Amazon best selling book, “Engage, Connect, Grow”, a supportive community and 1 on 1 coaching services.

His ultimate vision is to contribute to healing men & their families around the world from depression through natural healing methods.

It's Men's Mental Health Awareness Month this month, so ahead of my guest, I'm talking about mental health in my family.

When I met Dr G he was always the calm one against my stress!

we're a lot more balanced now, and I've learnt a lot along the way, and we're able to communicate more efficiently about mental health (both ways)

But Men's Mental Health is still very much stigmatised in society, so I'm contributing to the need to talk more (with Dr G's permission for his insights)
