There's so much going on in all of our heads that's holding us back, and if you can just get that little bit of an insight to actually say: huh, now I understand why I respond like that, etc.
Picture a world where men openly talk about their mental health without fear of judgment. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Rish Mitra, a man on a mission to make that world a reality. Rish is not just any advocate; he's a stoic at heart, living by the four pillars of stoicism: Wisdom, Courage, Justice, and Temperance. His philosophy? Life is fleeting, and understanding this can help us live better, kinder lives.
Rish has created a podcast called 'Dads And Deadlifts', aimed at helping men shed the heavy armor of shame and guilt to reveal their authentic selves. He believes that societal norms have boxed men into a corner, leading to negative behaviors like addiction. Through his platform, Rish aims to dismantle these norms and provide a safe space for men to express themselves. In his conversation with Stephan, Rish delves into the importance of honest self-reflection.
He argues that denial is a significant hurdle for many struggling with addiction, but taking an honest inventory of one's life can be a powerful first step towards recovery. Rish also touches on the role of genetics and coping mechanisms in addiction, sharing his personal journey towards a life without alcohol. The episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt wisdom.
From discussing the importance of breathing exercises to emphasizing the need for daily self-care, Rish provides actionable steps for anyone looking to improve their mental health. He encourages listeners to hold up a mirror and take stock of their lives, reminding them that change is always possible. If you're interested in breaking down the stigmas surrounding men's mental health or are looking for some stoic inspiration, this episode is for you.
Tune in to hear Rish Mitra's compelling story and learn how you can apply these timeless principles to your own life.
