Why start the Mental Bears podcast?In this first episode I explain the idea behind Mental Bears and why I believe we need better conversations about pressure.Life brings pressure from work, family, expectations and the challenges we all face. On this podcast I call those pressures Bears.Some are small cubs that follow us quietly.
