Not so Christian Brothers

In this powerful episode, the Not So Christian Brothers tackle the silent crisis in men's mental health. A shocking new statistic reveals that 71% of men won't tell their employer about a mental health issue for fear of being stigmatized . Colm argues that the workplace is still a hostile environment for honesty, while Justin insists that employers aren't therapists—and shouldn't be expected to be.

We also discuss:
Finding Your Wild Side: From walking barefoot in forests to "wild workouts," the lads debate how to reclaim spontaneity in middle age .
Truffle Hunting: Justin’s bizarre trip to Luxembourg involving foraging pigs (and why Colm thinks you can smoke a truffle) .
The "Wobble" Day: Colm opens up about needing days where he just shuts down to handle his "wobbles" alone, and why that’s okay.
Suicide Stats: A look at the rising suicide rates among men aged 70-74 and the misconceptions about talking to someone in crisis.
