I'm a very, very passionate believer in men's mental health and you know it's okay to cry and it's okay to be a man, while also feeling your emotions.
Ever met someone who turned their life's hurdles into stepping stones? Rory Archer is one such inspiring individual. At just 21, Rory hails from Auckland, New Zealand, but now calls Wellington home. His love affair with rowing began early, fueling dreams of Olympic glory. But life threw a curveball in the form of a heart condition, forcing him to give up the sport he cherished.
Instead of letting this setback define him, Rory embarked on a journey of self-discovery and growth. He opens up about his teenage years, mental health struggles, and the party scene that initially derailed him. Yet, through connecting with others and finding a supportive community, Rory managed to turn his life around. He delves into how weight loss, improved energy levels, and self-love played pivotal roles in his transformation.
Rory also shares his experiences with motivational guru Tony Robbins, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and personal development. His story underscores the power of vulnerability and emotional expression, particularly in addressing men's mental health issues. Tune in to hear Rory's candid reflections and discover how he transformed adversity into a powerful life lesson.
