In this deeply vulnerable episode, we uncover a reality that’s almost never spoken about: postnatal depression in men.
Our guest — a father of two — shares his raw and emotional story of what happened when his second son was born. With no relationship, no support, and a crushing sense of isolation, he began to unravel.
From violent intrusive thoughts about his newborn, to being afraid of himself and bottling it all up, this episode dives into the darkest corners of men’s mental health, fatherhood, and emotional survival.
Eventually, therapy and the power of speaking up pulled him out — and today, he has a strong relationship with his son and a new outlook on life.
If you’re a dad, a partner, or know someone silently struggling — this episode could be life-changing.

#107 Ollie Ollerton — Ex-Special Forces, Trauma Survivor, and TV Legend
Get ready to dive deep with one of the most intense and inspiring guests we’ve ever had. From surviving a brutal chimp attack to leading life-or-death missions in Baghdad, Ollie Ollerton’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
In this episode, Ollie opens up about his hidden trauma, the fallout with SAS: Who Dares Wins, and the fear that drives him every day. He also shares eye-opening insights on everything from the Rothschilds' grip on education to the real reason the SAS is so elite.
