Ever wondered what makes a good snacking nut? Or how mental well-being can be seen as a softer approach to mental health? In this episode of Henry Weston's Old Mate the Podcast, Stuart Butler catches up with his old friend Tommy Bissett. Tommy is just days away from becoming a father for the first time, and the conversation covers everything from impending parenthood to the importance of mental well-being and the joys of greenkeeping.
Tommy shares his journey from being terrified to excited about fatherhood, and how he plans to raise his child with plant-based principles, despite the scepticism from friends and family. Stuart and Tommy also dive into the lighter side of life, ranking their favourite nuts—pistachios take the crown while Brazil nuts fall somewhere between the USA and Trinidad and Tobago in their FIFA-style rankings.
The episode isn't just laughs and light-hearted banter; it touches on serious topics like how physical exercise helps manage mental health. Tommy explains how he's adapted his routine due to an Achilles injury, finding solace in yoga and cycling when he can't hit the trails for a run. The episode also explores the challenges of balancing work, personal life, and mental health.
Stuart reflects on his own experiences as a father and recovering alcoholic, offering a candid look at the ups and downs of parenting. The conversation is filled with relatable moments and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone juggling multiple roles in life. So, why should you tune in? Because it's like sitting down with old friends who aren't afraid to talk about the hard stuff while still finding time to laugh about the little things.
Whether you're interested in mental health, greenkeeping, or just need a good chuckle about nuts, this episode has something for everyone.
