In this episode of Inner Insights, I sit down with my good friend David, founder of Mantra Menswork, to explore his powerful journey from emotional isolation to deep connection and purpose.

David’s story is one many men will recognise. Struggling with depression, feeling disconnected, and hitting rock bottom after becoming a father. Instead of being filled with love, he was drowning in self-doubt, burnout, and despair. Traditional therapy wasn’t enough. The isolation only deepened.

Everything changed when he discovered breathwork, embodiment practices, and, most importantly, the power of men’s community. He found that true healing didn’t come from sitting alone in a therapist’s office but from standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other men, sharing struggles, and holding each other accountable.

This led him to create Mantra Menswork, a movement helping men break free from outdated models of masculinity, reconnect with their emotions, and step into their authentic selves. We discuss the crisis of male isolation, why so many men feel lost despite seeking help, and how genuine brotherhood can transform lives.

David’s work is about creating spaces where men can drop their masks, support one another, and cultivate real strength—the kind that comes from vulnerability, not suppression.

This conversation is raw, real, and necessary. If you’ve ever felt disconnected or know a man who is struggling, this episode is a must-listen.

Join us as we dive deep into the power of connection, healing, and the path to a more embodied, purposeful life.
