About this listen
In this powerful Mental Health Awareness Week conversation, Angela is joined by returning guest Daryn Mason, a former tech exec turned psychotherapist, to explore why so many men struggle to talk about their mental health.
Together they unpack the emotional cost of staying silent, the societal pressures that shape male identity, and the real impact of high-performance environments on wellbeing. From the early signs of burnout to full breakdown, Daryn shares his dual perspective as both a survivor and a therapist with insight, warmth, and clarity.
Themes include: – The three stages of burnout: flameout, burnout, rustout – Why success and mental health aren’t opposites – Perfectionism, performance identity & compartmentalisation – The importance of active listening and real recovery – Why men often wait until it’s “too late” to get help
