Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast

Have you ever felt like you’ve become lost in your own life?Many men struggle to talk about their problems and mental health and grew up believing that to do can be perceived as a sign of weakness or failure. There is also a lack of open discussion in society around men’s mental health, especially aimed at mid-life men. As a result, at times many men can feel alone and lost in their own lives.In this podcast series, I talk to mid-life men about their stories; the challenges, the turning points, and

Am I Sleepwalking Into A Health Crisis? with Dr....

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/04/18

Most men know something is wrong before anything goes seriously wrong. The sleep getting worse. The energy is not quite there. The body that used to be forgiving and now isn't. The sense that somewhere along the way, you stopped being a priority even to yourself. Dr. Ken Ro has spent decades in emergency medicine watching men arrive at crisis points that, in nearly every case, had been building for years. Not because they were careless or ignorant, but because the way men are wired - to

How Far Would You Go To Fix Your Life? with Cam Cordin

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/04/10

Most men are good at one thing: Keeping going. Through stress.Through pain.Through things not quite working. Until eventually, it all starts catching up. In this episode, I’m joined by Cam Cordin, who at 44 found himself physically broken, in constant pain, his marriage collapsing, his work unstable, and at a point where he didn’t want help. Instead, he made a private contract with himself: 911 days to rebuild his body and his life, or he was out. What followed wasn’t a dramatic turnaround. It was a

My Life Is Fine… So Why Am I Not? with Kenyada Meadows

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/04/01

What if nothing is wrong in your life… but you don’t feel anything anymore? Some men don’t break down. They just go numb.They keep working, providing, showing up… but inside something has quietly switched off. In this episode I speak with Kenyada Meadows, a former Wall Street executive who calls this “hollow man syndrome” - when you look successful on the outside but feel empty inside. Kenyada talks openly about the slow realization that success doesn’t always equal fulfillment, the pressure many

Why I Kept Trying to Make It Work, with Simon Verhage

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/03/22

Some men don’t just go through one difficult relationship. They find themselves asking a harder question: Why do I keep ending up in the same situation with different people? In this episode, Simon Verhage talks honestly about growing up feeling unheard, carrying that need for connection into adult life, and how that led him into relationships he hoped would finally give him the stability he was looking for. What makes this conversation different is how openly he talks about the pattern, not just

When You Know Something Has to Change, with Dr James...

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/03/16

In this episode I talk with Dr James Rouse, author of "No Days Off", about what that moment looked like for him. Growing up around alcohol, instability, and pressure to just get on with things, he followed a path a lot of men fall into: drinking too much, pushing himself hard physically, and trying to outrun how he felt rather than face it. Some men don’t crash. They just reach a point where they quietly think: “I can’t keep living like this.” What makes this conversation different is how

How to Let Your Body Release Stress, with Richmond Heath

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/03/10

Most men deal with stress the same way: push through, stay in control, and keep going.But what if the body already has its own built-in way to release stress, and we’ve simply been taught to suppress it?In this episode I speak with Richmond Heath, a physiotherapist and one of the pioneers of Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) in Australia. Richmond’s interest in this work began with his own experience of chronic pain and high-functioning anxiety, which traditional treatments never fully resolved.His

The Price of Playing the Tough Guy, with Jacob Butchoff

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/03/02

This is a difficult and honest conversation. For years, Jacob played the tough guy. Violence, intimidation, and control became a shield against something he could not face in himself. The price was prison, addiction, fractured relationships and a life built on concealing his true identity. Adopted as a baby and raised in a loving, privileged home in North London, Jacob grew up with a persistent sense of not belonging. Alongside that was the realisation, from a young age, that he was gay. Instead of

What happens when you grow up feeling like you don’t quite fit, and you spend decades assuming the problem is you?In this episode, I speak with Gary Hawkins, a long-serving NHS clinician who was diagnosed as autistic later in life. Gary’s story is not neat or linear. It includes childhood chaos, being labelled “unteachable,” boarding school, the traumatic loss of his father in the Falklands, years of masking in professional environments, severe burnout, misdiagnosis, medication that didn’t help, and

You won’t hear many life stories like this.Jerzy Gregorek’s life spans teenage alcoholism and suicidal thoughts, elite Olympic-level weightlifting, political exile from communist Poland, serious injury and paralysis, underground resistance work, and the long, unglamorous process of starting again in a new country. More than once.What makes this episode different is that Jerzy doesn’t romanticise any of it. He speaks plainly about the cost of bad choices, the patience required to rebuild, and the

Growing Up in Chaos with Lee Greenhough

What happens when you grow up in chaos and just learn to get on with it?In this episode, I talk with filmmaker and speaker Lee Greenhough about growing up around loss, addiction, and instability and how those early years quietly shape the choices men make later in life. Lee shares what it’s like to carry things you never dealt with, how that weight can surface through drinking, anger, or restlessness, and why change rarely comes from big moments or sudden insight.Instead, this conversation is about

Why Intimacy Starts to Fade, with Dr Dan Sneider

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2026/01/19

A lot of men don’t think they have a problem with intimacy. They just feel a bit distant. A bit shut down. Less connected than they used to be to their partner, to sex, or to themselves. This episode goes right into that space.I’m joined by Dr. Dan Sneider. Dan is a therapist; however, this isn’t a lecture or a list of techniques. It’s a conversation grounded in his own lived experience and how he learned early on to shut parts of himself down, how that showed up in his relationships, and what it

In this episode, I’m joined by Michael Rice, a bioarchitect and the founder of Mentorus. Michael approaches men’s lives the same way he approaches buildings: by looking at foundations, structure, and whether what’s been built is actually fit for purpose. After years designing physical spaces, his work now focuses on helping men understand why a life that looks solid on the outside can quietly stop working from within, and how to rebuild it with intention, clarity, and honesty.We talk about what

Whatever I Do, It’s Never Enough, with Mordy Gottlieb

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast ·

2025/12/19

In this episode, we talk to Mordy Gottlieb, a men’s therapist whose work - and life - has been shaped by one quiet, corrosive belief: “Whatever I do, it’s never enough.”Mordy shares how perfection became his survival strategy as a child and how striving without self-compassion led to years of numbing, self-criticism, and chasing relief through behaviours that slowly escalated rather than resolved the pain.What makes this conversation different is its honesty about how these patterns actually form,

From childhood trauma and dissociation to running a global charity and now creating a movement to halve the male suicide rate, Merlin’s story is as complex as it is hopeful. He shares what he’s learned about breaking free from conditioning, such as the pressure to “man up,”
