Dear Podcast Listener, Thank you for your support. This podcast aims to support dads all over the world, especially those struggling with their mental health.
This podcast is my hobby, but I'd like it to become more than that one day. 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) angel investors.
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 will be entitled to a voice note message from me on their next birthday.
Just contact me via the website
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 a much happier dad.
As previously mentioned, I want to try & help other 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.
