GoodEnoughChats - Destigmatising men's mental health, one chat at a time
Podcast Description
The GoodEnoughChats show features conversations between regular guys talking about their lived experiences of mental health.
Each episode features host Dan Bowsher talking to a different guest who has faced mental health challenges in the hope it can destigmatise these issues for other men.
The chats are unscripted but always based on the same five questions so guests can prepare as much as they want to. Guests volunteer themselves to come forward, and we're always interested to hear from people who feel they might be ready to share their story.

This chat features Matt Adamson, a former corporate executive turned career coach, discussing his journey through burnout.
Matt discusses the significance of recognizing early signals—like irritability or exhaustion—and the power of small, intentional steps such as walking, re-evaluating alcohol habits, and grounding in purpose to foster resilience.
Throughout the conversation, Matt and Dan (also a burnout survivor) share their burnout journey and the lessons they’ve learned—from understanding the impact of negative inner voices to embracing grey areas in mood and success.
