For All the Brothers with Zane Munro

Changing the Narrative Around Men’s Mental Health TRIGGER WARNING. THIS EPISODE MENTIONS SUICIDE. In recent times, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of addressing men's mental health. Traditionally, men have faced societal pressures to be strong and stoic, which often discourages them from expressing their emotions or seeking help when needed. However, changing the narrative around men's mental health involves breaking down these stereotypes and fostering open conversations that encourage men to talk about their feelings, seek support, and prioritise their well-being. This shift in perspective is crucial for creating a more inclusive and compassionate society where men can comfortably address their mental health concerns without fear of judgment or stigma.   In this episode, I am joined by Zane Munro, the Founder of For All The Brothers, a platform that is helping change how men approach talking about mental health, which has long been taboo, to talk about men’s mental health. Zane shares what led him to start helping men overcome their mental struggles, the experience that brought him into his lowest moment, and the first time he realized that he was struggling mentally and needed assistance. He also talks about the importance of teaching young kids that it’s okay to feel pain and how self-responsibility helps us through our mental health journey.
