ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
GoodEnoughChats is a podcast on a mission to destigmatise men’s mental health, one chat at a time. Join host Dan Bowsher, a recovering perfectionist and burnout survivor, as he talks with each guest about their lived experiences of mental health. These chats are not about expert opinions or celebrity voices. They’re raw conversations with regular, relatable guys – the kind of thing you rarely get to hear, and more powerful because of it. Expect unfiltered, wide-ranging discussions, touching on topics like burnout, identity, neurodivergence, grief, the breakdown of relationships, living with chronic illness, and more. Subscribe to get new episodes as they drop, and share the pod with someone it could help.
