Everywhere you look, men are being told they have a "mental health problem." We see the posters in public toilets and service stations telling us "it’s okay to talk."

But for most successful men, that message is missing the mark.

In this episode, Jonnie Jensen argues that the help being offered to men isn't working because it isn't solving the right problem. Most mid-life dads don't have a clinical mental health issue; they have a Purpose Crisis.


When a man loses his "Why," he stops showing up in his marriage and for his kids . He enters the Low Value Death Spiral, where burnout and quiet despair become a "four out of ten" existence that too many men simply put up with .


Jonnie shares the raw truth of his own journey, from the "five-year slide" of miscarriages and business pressure to the moment the road finally ran out in January 2015 .


WHY THIS MATTERSIf you see a mental health poster and think, "That's for someone else, I'm just stressed," you are in denial about a situation that is quietly grinding you down .


This episode is about identifying where you sit on the spectrum between Suicide and Thriving . It explores why reclaiming your purpose is like topping up the air in your car's tyres before you hit the central reservation .
