Men's Mental Health Special 2: The Hands - Here's What to Do With What You're Carrying.
from The Buddhist AF Podcast · host Noy Chanthavisouk
After overcoming addiction, I thought the hardest part was behind me. I was wrong.In this episode, I share how professional wrestling became an unexpected outlet for my grief, fear, and self-doubt through my alter ego, Alex Mikado. From conquering a lifelong fear of heights to surviving a Grade 3 concussion and stepping into the world of MMA, this isn't a story about fighting—it's a story about survival.We talk about the difference between distractions and healthy outlets, why so many men carry their struggles in silence, and how finding the right outlet can keep you alive long enough to heal.If you've ever found yourself sitting alone in your car, replaying conversations or carrying a weight you couldn't explain, this episode is for you.Because sometimes healing doesn't begin with talking.Sometimes it begins with finding somewhere to put the weight.If you are in crisis, please call or text 988.
