More Than Money: Steve Milligan on When Financial Pressure Hits Men's Mental Health

As part of The Happiness Co Foundation's International Men's Health Week 2026 project, this episode explores the often-unspoken connection between financial pressure and men's mental health. Joined by Steve Milligan, we dive into the realities many men face when navigating career setbacks, redundancy, business challenges, retirement, changing identities, and the weight of providing for others. Together, we unpack how financial stress can impact confidence, relationships, purpose and wellbeing, while exploring the importance of resilience, adaptability and seeking support through life's inevitable transitions. This conversation is a powerful reminder that a man's worth is not defined by his income, job title or financial circumstances — and that reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. *Content Warning: This episode includes conversations about mental health, personal struggles, adversity, and emotional wellbeing. Some topics may be challenging for listeners. Please take care while listening and pause if you need to.
