Episode 48 - Manning up to our Mind With Shane McManaway

Melinda King

Welcome to the first of many important conversations aimed at de-stigmatizing beliefs, practices, and narratives around mental health, especially for men who often struggle with stereotypes that discourage vulnerability. Today, we're joined by Shane McManaway, former CEO and respected business leader, who is taking a courageous step to open up about his own mental health journey, including a time when he nearly ended his life. Shane’s story highlights how sharing our struggles, rather than suffering in silence, can lead to powerful transformation.

In this episode, we explore the importance of developing resilience and the need for real conversations that help us to break through the stigma to harness the skills of working through difficult emotions, in finding the strength to acknowledge the existence of our vulnerability, and the ongoing work that is needed to stay the course.
