In this episode of Heart-Led Changemakers, Maryanne sits down with Ben McDonald Watson, founder of Yeah, Man, a growing community dedicated to men’s mental health, real connection, and breaking the silence around vulnerability.
With alarming statistics on men’s suicide, loneliness, and wellbeing, Yeah, Man offers a simple but radical solution: spaces where men can talk openly, learn new skills, and support one another without judgment.
They explore:
- The urgent state of men’s mental health in Australia
- Why traditional definitions of masculinity are failing men
- How safe spaces can transform lives and communities
- Practical steps for building connection and support
This is more than a conversation, it’s a call to action.
