This episode is all about shattering the stigma of men's mental health and encouraging you to share your story and talk through the trauma. We are so used to holding in our thoughts and feelings but if we can just start the conversation, that's a step in the right direction.

In this episode the guys talk about about and review a recently article published by the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) about diagnosing men with mental health. From topics of why men are diagnosed with depression less than women to pointing to studies conducted that show that men are not getting the proper professional help we need. We hope you enjoy this episode and as always we encourage toy to click on the article and conduct research yourself.

In this episode we sit down to talk about the importance of work life balance and how valuable it is to be able to leave work at work and not bring it home. For many of us men we go to work and give it everything we have and then come home with an empty tank and nothing left for our family or ourselves. In order to focus on our mental health we need to be able to separate from our work and be able to thrive in our personal life.
