EP 12 - Men's Mental Health

<p>This heartfelt episode dives into the deeply personal stories of Joey and Pie as they navigate the complexities of men’s mental health. Joey shares how cosplay became more than just a hobby — it turned into a vital outlet during some of his darkest moments. Pie opens up about the emotional toll of grief, family pressures, and the silent struggles faced during and after military life. Together, they reflect on vulnerability, the importance of community, and how sharing experiences can break down stigma and foster genuine connection. It’s an honest, raw, and empowering conversation about healing, support, and the strength in speaking up.</p><p>Boys Get Sad Too - <a href=" https://boysgetsadtoo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> https://boysgetsadtoo.com/</a></p><p>Samaritans - <a href="https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/</a></p><p>Mind - <a href="https://www.mind.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.mind.org.uk/</a></p><p>Health Assured - <a href="https://www.healthassured.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.healthassured.org/</a></p><p><u>Gust Socials</u>:</p><p>Joey - Last_Action_Hero_Cosplay - Insta: https:<a href="//www.instagram.com/last_action_hero_cosplay/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">//www.instagram.com/last_action_hero_cosplay/</a></p><p>Pie - Piezorplays - Insta: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/piezorplays/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/piezorplays/</a></p><p><br></p><p><u>Hosts Socials</u>:</p><p>Darren - iPhotoUK - Insta: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iphotouk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/iphotouk/</a></p><p>Tom - Switch Photography - Insta: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/switch_gn/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/switch_gn/</a></p><p><br></p><p><u>Podcast Socials</u>: </p><p>LinkTree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/CosplayTogsAndAllThingsNerdy?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=adde6ee7-75be-4b74-a829-fb406f933f8c" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://linktr.ee/CosplayTogsAndAllThingsNerdy?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&lt;sid=adde6ee7-75be-4b74-a829-fb406f933f8c</a></p><p><br></p><p><u>Chapters</u>:</p><p>00:00 - Introduction to Men&#39;s Mental Health</p><p>05:03 - The Impact
