Why Men Need Time to Think and Breathe

What does your daily mental maintenance look like?

In this solo episode of The Men’s Mental Health Series, I talk about something most men never think about but desperately need, a simple daily routine that helps you sit with your thoughts, process what you are carrying, and let some of it go. Not everything in life has to be productive. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is slow down, reconnect with yourself, and give your mind space to breathe.

I share what this looks like for me, from reading and journaling to low key hobbies that feel almost mindless but grounding, and why those small moments help you show up calmer, clearer, and more deliberate in every other area of your life. This episode is about finding your own mix of connection, conversation, and quiet time so you are not constantly running on edge.

If you feel pulled in a hundred directions or like you never get a second to check in with yourself, this conversation is your reminder that taking care of your mind is not optional, it is daily maintenance.
