Welcome to the first episode of season 2 of Safe Harbour, a podcast dedicated to unpacking and exploring the many aspects of mental health for men in modern times.

In this episode, we will be exploring the concept of non-judgment and how it can positively impact our lives. We'll discuss how judgment can prevent us from connecting with others and hinder our ability to feel empathy and, on the flip side, how non-judging can lead to greater self-awareness and deeper understanding.

We'll also offer practical strategies for practising non-judgment in your life, such as mindfulness, self-reflection and breathing. As always, if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please seek professional help. You are not alone.
