Episode 79 - Confident Fat Guy

Today I'm joined by a man whose name I don't know - but he goes by his alter-ego of The Confident Fat Guy.The CFG is a podcaster and mental health advocate who looks to engage with people who are struggling by turning his own stories into ways of reaching out and relating on a fundamental level.With a history that includes alcohol abuse, violence, rejection, loneliness and suicidal ideation, CFG uses his platform to talk openly about both the ways in which his life has been impacted by external events and the ways in which he has responded - both positive and negative - that have brought him to his current point in life, one in which he is content with who and what he is while better equipped to deal with the new challenges that life throws at him.Talking candidly in a way that he previously - like so many men - was unable to do, CFG shares how he went from an angry and confused young man who would self-medicate with excessive alcohol consumption, through using violence to gain a sense of self-worth, to becoming a parent and putting down the bottle through to a man who has gained wisdom while fighting his demons - and now he wants to give back to the community.Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out CFG's work on the links below:https://open.spotify.com/show/4dZ6nLynqj8lbQaEbRkBV0?si=bdb602e0954d460eInstagramConfident fat guy 🤙 (@confidentfatguy) | TikTok(1) Facebook
