About this listen

Mental Health and Anxiety.

Your mate? Your dad? Your uncle? Your cousin? You??

Did you even know what was wrong with you?

Have you ever openly talked and discussed about your fight and the effect it has had on you and those that are close?


You could be the spark, the inspiration and the motivation for other men to come forward and talk openly about their journey.


I'm Darren. A businessman, husband and dad, I have also suffered from depression for the last 30 years.

I should have spoke earlier. I didn't...and we all know the reason's why. Mostly, I felt weak and a liability.

I want the everyday man to tell their story. The builder, the postman, the city trader, the stay at home dad, the student.

I talk to people just like you.

    On the first episode of MOMB, me and my eldest son Charley discuss my battle with depression and also his own battles with mental health.

    We talked for over 2 hours so it was only fair that I spared you all and split it into two parts.

    I would love to hear from you particularly if you would like to appear on the MOMB podcast.

    Enjoy and keep talking lads.

    Monkey on my back is a metaphor of my fight with mental health. I hope the journey that I create with this podcast will encourage other men to talk openly about how they have overcome adversity when they felt there was no hope.

    In this introductory episode, I speak briefly about my journey.

    I passionately want others to contribute towards this podcast and help to destigmatize mental health in men.
