This week, we’re sharing an episode of the Life Well Lived podcast with special guest and friend of A Lust for Life, Darren Gavin.
Darren is the co-founder of the Mental Health Guys blog and has been writing and speaking about mental health in Ireland and oversees for the past couple of years. And I’ve no doubt he’s just starting out on a journey that will positively impact very many people, many of them guys, in the months and years to come.
In this conversation we hear about:
Darren’s mental health problems in childhood
How they went away for most of his teens and 20s before returning with a vengeance as he approached 30
How, when he came out the far side of that, he started to consider how he might shine a light on what so many people everywhere are going through almost every day.
Starting the Mental Health Guys blog that has opened doors and conversations in so many places
Darren also talks about his experiences of the way mental health is treated in the workplace, how he divides his life into compartments, why he doesn’t use the word failure, his new definition of success and lots more.
That’s Episode 18 of the Life Well Lived Podcast, with Darren Gavin of the Mental Health Guys blog.
