Matt is a mental health life coach and mental health first aider. In this episode we talk about his battle with anxiety, his breakdown and how close he came to suicide.

This conversation is very solution orientated and all about what we can do to improve the state of men's mental health and mental health in general.

We also have a little conversation around medication vs therapy, both speaking from our own, very different, experiences and we discuss the pressures in today's society that are leading to this mental health epidemic.

This is quite a heavy conversation, but one of the most important one's I've had to date on this podcast. We NEED to talk more.

I hope you enjoy the episode and that it helps in some way.

#58 - Matt Keenan: Men's mental health and the urgency to get talking

Conversations on health, business and becoming.

This podcast mirrors my own personal growth.

Fitness changed my life. It taught me discipline, helped me believe in myself, and quietly opened the door to the most exciting journey of personal development I never knew I was on.

I'm still deeply passionate about health and fitness — that part of me isn't going anywhere. But it's time to bring my love of business, personal development, and the inner work of becoming to the forefront. Because the truth is, they were never separate. The woman who shows up for her training is the same woman who builds the business, leads the family, and learns to come home to herself.

Each week, I'll share solo episodes drawn from my qualifications, my coaching experience, and my own lived journey — alongside conversations with guests who've shaped how I think, train, work, and live.

This is a space for the woman who's done chasing the next version of herself and ready to start connecting with who she already is.

Stop chasing. Start connecting.

New episodes weekly. Hosted by Kate Hamilton — former primary school teacher, mother of three, fitness & nutrition coach, health coach, business queen and founder of NourisHer and LeadHer.
