Dad, would you like to learn a martial art that can massively improve your mental and physical health?

Dads, would you like to learn a self-defence technique that may make you the calmest person you know or at least in your family?

In this podcast, I talk to Steve, a 1-stripe brown belt who has been training BJJ for the last 6 years.

If you train BJJ and would be interested in being a guest on a future Dad Mind Matters podcast on the subject "Why Do I Train BJJ?"

If you live in East Sussex and want to try a free Brazilian Jui Jitsu class, contact the team via the website.

Dear Podcast Listener, thank you, I appreciate your support. This podcast aims to support dads all over the world, especially those struggling with their mental health.

CAN YOU HELP THE PODCAST?

This podcast is my hobby, but I'd like it to become much more. For that to happen, I need the support of either one very wealthy angel investor or a few thousand, possibly slightly less wealthy (but no less generous) supporters.

To develop the podcast and hopefully support more dads, I need some help. With that in mind, if you enjoyed this episode and want to help me with what I'm trying to do, here is the link where you can leave a tip.

ALL tips, regardless of size, are hugely appreciated, and as a thank you, anyone who leaves a tip is entitled to a voice note message from me on their next birthday.

Thanks again for your support, and take care of yourself

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm James & not long ago, I was a very anxious and somewhat overwhelmed husband & dad.

After about a decade of setbacks & enough coffee to sink a ship, I’m much happier.

As previously mentioned, I want to try & help dads be the best they can without losing their mental health. Mental health battles are something I am all too familiar with.

In 2010, my GP suggested I do a 12-week CBT course with the NHS. During this course, I was diagnosed as having Pure OCD, which explained a lot.

Anyway, thanks again for your support, and take care of yourself

James
