  • 48 - Daragh Fleming - Lets talk about Mens Metal Health
    Sep 8 2023

    This week on the Mindful Living Guide, I have the pleasure of speaking to someone who is very well known in Ireland, Daragh Fleming of the Thoughts too Big blog

    Daragh is an author, freelance writer, and award-winning mental health blogger from Cork, Ireland. In 2022 his blog recently won Mental Health Blog of the year and has been an inspiration to many people. His extremly popular Book, Lonely Boy s about a man trying to be at peace with himself and his past, so that he can navigate his future.  A past that includes loosing a close friend to suicide at a very young age.

    In the Episode, we chat about Daraghs own journey with depression and how it leaves you in a Numb emotionless state as well as:
    - Break stereotypes: Allow men to express emotions without judgment.
    - Evolving attitudes: Shift towards accepting men's emotional expression.
    - Coping methods: Writing, exercise, sleep, hydration for mental health.
    - Balance solitude and socialization for better mental well-being.
    - Ownership of mental health through daily, controllable actions.
    - Humour as a tool to disarm shame and address challenges.

    We also touch on how having a strong mental attitude was a game changer recently when he was the victim of a blackmail attempt.  Daragh was able to take control back of the situation.

I am happy to be back after a few months break, and in this episode, I am excited to chat to Sinead Kennedy, a psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher who specializes in helping individuals navigate relationships, anxiety, and personal growth. Sinead's journey into the world of therapy and mindfulness was driven by her own experiences with anxiety and the desire to find ways to lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

She believes in the power of self-awareness, understanding the patterns that shape our lives, and creating space for personal growth. Through her work, Sinead helps individuals develop healthier relationships with themselves and others, cultivate mindfulness, and build the skills needed to navigate life's challenges.

    If you're curious about how mindfulness and therapy can positively impact your life, and if you're seeking guidance on building healthier relationships and managing anxiety, this episode is a must-listen.
