Fatherhood for me has been a very rewarding experience, but it has also been a very real test in maintaining a positive state of mental health at times. Learning, what I see as, the artful balancing act of managing life as a father, a husband and an individual while also managing each of those persona relationships with those of my spouse as we together grow and adapt to our ever changing landscape has shall we say been an adventure. I was and still am very fortunate to have a couple of key people in my life that I can open up to and talk about my experiences, trials and tribulations which has been instrumental for my mental health and a positive headspace.
Many men out there are not so fortunate...
My mo-tivation - to help reduce the stigma that men should "harden up" or "man up" and that sharing your emotions with friends is not a sign of weakness by promoting a positive and welcoming culture in my social network where men can open up to one another to have those conversations and in doing so let each other know that they're not alone in the hopes that those connections provide a positive bridge to healthier state of mind.
