About Men Initiating Meaningful Expression of Self
A podcast where real men, with real issues, having real conversations while providing practical solutions. We are unmasking some of the deep-seated issues men deal with on a daily basis through their own unique experiences.
In this episode of MIMES, we are discussing men’s mental health and why as men we need a safe space to talk especially as we navigate this pandemic. Men are three times more likely to experience addiction and substance abuse issues. In addition, as a result of the pandemic, 27% of men reported that their mental health has worsened. We have a special guest who will share his own experience with mental health challenges.

Unmasking the Man: Your Authentic Self
In this episode of MIMES, we've invited two guests, Ray from Raydiant Productions and Francois aka Dougie from Nuhlikkletwang Podcast, to unpack the question: What does it mean to be your authentic self?
As men, we are conditioned to behave in a manner that's considered "acceptable" in society. We've lived in environments that force us to conform to fit in a particular box of expectations, which can negatively impact our identity. We then have to reckon with the discrepancy of who our environments want us to be and the person we know we are inside.
So being authentic is a significant issue in our society today. The result is that this has had detrimental effects on how men view themselves and treat others within their surroundings.
