Welcome to this episode of the Wellbeing Club. Our guest is Jeremy, a man of Chinese descent living in New Zealand, who opens up about his personal journey navigating the complexities of cultural expectations, family dynamics, and mental health. Growing up with family values of tradition, Jeremy often found himself at odds with these ideals. Struggling with depression, anxiety, and a profound sense of low self-worth, he faced emotional challenges that many people often keep hidden.

In this episode, Jeremy shares how these pressures shaped him, but more importantly, how he began the process of healing. From the difficult decision of distancing himself from family expectations to seeking professional counseling, Jeremy has embraced tools that have helped him reclaim his identity and mental well-being. His story is one of courage, vulnerability, and the slow but rewarding journey to self-acceptance. Join us as we dive deep into his powerful story.

Today, we have a truly inspiring guest, Matthew Steans. Matthew is the founder of The Yarns Men, a group dedicated to fostering genuine connection and communication among men, something that has become a cornerstone in his own journey of self-discovery."
