Welcome to Proper Mental Episode 13!
This week’s guest is Nick Hogben!
Nick is an artist, podcaster and mental health advocate.
He is the host of The Mouth of Manliness podcast where he speaks to all sorts of guests about mental health and the general ups and downs of being a human being. Because of the amount of people that Nick has spoken to, and the topics he’s covered, he has great insight in to mental health and it was awesome to chat to him about all stuff.
Nick is also a patron of My Black Dog who are an online support service for people struggling with their mental health which is manned by volunteers with experience in these types of struggles.
Nick has struggled with his own mental health related issues since the age of 9. He’s is incredibly open and honest about his own journey and we chat a lot about his experiences in different aspects of mental health.
We chat about masculinity, medication, therapy, the importance of being honest, the power of conversation and juggling life and work with depression and anxiety. We also chat a lot about podcasting, art, music and all sorts of other things in between!
This is a great episode and I really think it has everything! It’s an open conversation, between two blokes, about dealing with mental health day to day. It’s not particularly question led and we just go where the chat takes us, which is all over the place!
