Summary

Episode 030 | A Personal Look at Living in the Grey | September 2022 In this deeply personal episode of The MentalCast, host Dan Mickle returns from a month-long hiatus to open up about his ongoing mental health journey — specifically, what it feels like to live in “the grey.” There is a space between happiness and depression where many people quietly exist, though it is rarely discussed. Thanks to reading Jay Glazer’s book Unbreakable, Dan was able to better understand this space, give it a name, and begin building a plan to combat it. This episode offers an honest look at the struggles Dan faces and aims to encourage others who might also be living in this in-between space. One of the most personal and vulnerable episodes of the series, this conversation is for anyone seeking connection, understanding, or simply the reassurance that they are not alone in their struggles. Topics covered: Understanding what it means to live “in the grey” The personal challenges of navigating this mental space How Unbreakable by Jay Glazer inspired new awareness and action Tools and resources that help manage mental well-being Breaking the silence around this often hidden experience Resources mentioned: Unbreakable by Jay Glazer The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma Headspace Meditation App and Website Best Self Journal Shitty Haiku (Volume 1) by Dan Mickle Contact the show: [email protected] Follow Dan on social: @RealDanMickle and @717Soul
