Beyond his great coffee and warm smile is a powerful story of resilience, fatherhood, and mental health.Episode Highlights:✨ Ben shares his journey with depression, anxiety, and self-harm starting from age 12. ✨ We discuss the stigma around men’s mental health and the need for open conversations. ✨ Ben reflects on becoming a father to baby Parker and how it’s shaped his outlook. ✨ We talk about the everyday importance of connection – sometimes over a simple cup of coffee.Special Offer: Say ‘Wita’ at Ben’s Wattle Grove cafe for a free coffee on me.
