This week Andy Grant is joined by leadership and communications consultant, Darren Horne, to share his call to adventure including postnatal depression and being a dad. Fatherhood isn’t always a magical and loving experience from the get-go. Postnatal, or postpartum, depression can hit men as well as women.
“Our parents did not bring us into the world to work 40 – 50 hours a week doing a job we hate.” ~Darren Horne
Darren shares how he tried to avoid his depression, as well as all the tools that helped, overcome it. Despite the subject matter, this is an upbeat conversation full of passion and zest for life. See Darren’s column here on GoodMenProject.
Topics Covered Include:
- What is postnatal depression?
- How common is this for men?
- Had you ever heard of it or been warned about it?
- How did you deal with your postnatal depression?
- Since you’ve opened up about it have you met more men who’ve experienced it too?
- The pain and grief of a miscarriage.
- The many gifts coming out of challenges.
- Going through a divorce and being more resilient.
- Seeing life as a computer game.
- We live in a society that makes money off our unhappiness.
- The meaning of life.
- Darren’s book for teens.
- What does your vasectomy have to do with leadership?
