Man vs Mind is a mental health podcast all about what's going on inside the mind of the modern man. Tim and J are two average guys, with zero shame chatting about everything to do with men's mental health – the stuff men usually keep to themselves. From therapy and fatherhood to anxieties, insecurity, obsessions, gym guilt and crying at TV ads, it’s real talk without the preach. No experts, no fixes – just honest, funny, sometimes painfully relatable conversations about the mental health stuff that we often deflect away from, or just say “yeah, I'm not too bad thanks.” We're trying to normalise guys talking about their mental health, and if what we're doing helps just one other man feel like they're able to just... I dunno... chat about what's going on in their head, then that's mission accomplished as far as we're concerned. We hope you'll enjoy the ride as we deep dive inside the mind of the average guy. Disclaimer: neither of us are mental health professionals, we don't dispense psychological advice, just anecdotes and perhaps a bit of taboo-busting as we chat about the things that don't normally get said.

  1. Man vs Money – Part Two: Why nobody ever talks about money...

    1 SEPT.

    Man vs Money – Part Two: Why nobody ever talks about money...

    Money is one of the biggest causes of stress in our lives — yet it’s the one thing we almost never talk about openly. In Part Two of the Man vs Money mini-series, Tim and J dig into the taboo of talking about finances, why we go silent when asked about money, and how cultural differences shape whether we’re open or closed about it. From social pressure to “keep up,” to the shame of saying “I can’t afford it,” and the awkwardness of borrowing from family or friends, this episode explores how money impacts friendships, marriages, and self-worth. Tim opens up about having to borrow from his parents, J shares the struggles of surviving gatherings with nothing in the bank, and both reflect on the mental load of finances when raising kids. We also hear some unforgettable stories — from car rental disasters to near-death work trips in the US — and why even “good” financial news can be hard to share with friends.

  2. Man vs Money – Part One: When are our attitudes to money formed?

    Man vs Money – Part One: When are our attitudes to money formed?

    It's the start of a new mini-series, and this is a big, devisive, tabooish, and expensive one: money. The root of all evil today, or so they say. Today, J and Tim get stuck into our early perceptions of money: our younger years exposure to money, how it shaped out attitudes towards it, and what it means to have (or not to have...) the coin. Does not having money encourage you to graft, to work harder and harder? Or is it traumatising? For many people, it's both. And the lads go into their earliest or most significant financial traumas in quite unflinching detail. We know it's taboo, but we'll be running loads of polls on this over on our Instagram account (@manvsmindpod) because money plays such an ENORMOUS role in mental health - for so many people. Enjoy the ride - for richer or poorer.

    Man vs Spiralling - Why do we overthink EVERYTHING?

    You're not the only one who overthinks, who spirals, who obsesses over that argument or the funny look someone gave you after you cracked a "joke". Today, Tim & J go over the "Oh my god if only I said that..." or the "jeeeez, what did that look mean? Did I just say something terrible? What if I've mortally offended them? It was just a joke, I didn't mean anything by it – so why did they look at me like that? What's wrong with me? What does that say about me as a person?" ...oh wait... it was actually fine. And it's a return of the Non-Certified Therapy Club. Get in touch today – terrible advice GUARANTEED!

    Man vs Envy - avoiding the comparison trap

    Why do we compare ourselves to others? And how can you stop feeling like everyone else is doing better than you?  Sometimes it’s hard to avoid feeling like everyone else is smashing life while you’re… well, just... existing. This week, Tim and J dive headfirst into the comparison trap: the ways we measure ourselves against friends, colleagues, influencers, and sometimes complete strangers – and how envy quietly eats away at our contentment. We talk social media feeds engineered to prey on insecurity, the workplace moments that trigger “why not me?”, and why validation feels good in person but dangerous online. There’s also stag do culture, AI shortcuts, body image insecurities, and Shakespeare’s 400-year-old take on the whole thing. Hopefully, you'll see this as a reminder that the most valuable things we’ve got can’t be measured or compared.

    Man vs Burnout - Managing burnout and preventing its impact on mental health

    The burnout is real, and Tim's therapist (and Alexa, apparently) warned him it might happen... Today, we're chatting all about what burnout actually is, how it feels, and how we're trying to combat the effect that burning out has on mental health. Feeling neither happy nor sad, going through the motions, getting a bit downtrodden, and feeling sort of meh. It's all part of it, and it can happen to anyone - so we're here to give you a little friendly nudge and say "keep your eyes peeled", because it'll creep up on you. Elsewhere, Tim gets confused about homoerectus and J gets equally confused about anemones, before (again) asking if we can take Man vs Mind on a bodacious, excellent time travel adventure... So buckle up. If you're feeling like you can't put your finger on how you're feeling, if you're asking "am I burnt out? Do I have burnout?" then listen up.

    Man vs Ageing – Part Four: The joys of getting older (ft. our dads)

    We’ve pulled out all the stops for the final part of our Ageing mini‑series. This one’s a proper journey – funny, raw, honest and genuinely inspiring. Tim and J dive into the worst bits of getting older – the aches, the slowing down, back pain and that constant feeling of being more tired than you’d like. But then we flip it: wisdom, perspective, self‑assurance, joy in everyday life, and the privilege of seeing your kids grow up while knowing you’re never past it. And then… J’s Dad. We’ve taken his voice note and given it a full remix – poignant, uplifting, and honestly one of the most inspiring things we’ve ever put out. It’s the perfect way to end the series. Thank you for all your messages, your stories, your honesty. This is for you. 💛 If you’re enjoying the show PLEASE consider leaving us a 5* rating and a few words to review the show - the algorithm loves it and it’ll help more people find the show ❤️❤️ Head to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content!

    Man vs Ageing – Part Three: Slowing down the moments that matter

    Birthdays aren’t always cake and candles.Sometimes they’re a spotlight you never asked for – a reminder of another year gone by, a quiet tally of who still cares enough to show up, or just a day that sparks a rush of awkward gratitude when all you really want is a sofa and some peace. In this episode, Tim and J dive into how our relationship with birthdays changes as we get older, and how those yearly milestones can trigger big questions about where we are in life. They also look back at moments they’d revisit in a heartbeat – some they’d handle differently, others they’d stay in forever. If you’ve ever wondered why your birthday feels different these days, or caught yourself longing to time‑travel back to a moment that felt perfect, you’re in the right place.

  8. Man vs Ageing – Part Two: Is it possible to slow down time?

    14 JUIL.

    Man vs Ageing – Part Two: Is it possible to slow down time?

    Is it just us, or is time absolutely sprinting lately? Like, seriously, chill out please Father Time. In Part Two of our ageing mini-series, Tim and J try to get their heads around the weird acceleration of life. Why do the years feel shorter the older we get? Is it all the responsibility? The anxiety? Or just the fact that school summers used to feel like forever? We talk memory, mindfulness, the effects of mental health on how we experience time – and whether it’s actually possible to slow it all down. (Spoiler: J won’t be meditating any time soon.) Then, it’s time to dig out your emotional playlists for a section we’re calling The Soundtrack of our Lives – the songs that instantly transport us back. From Barbie Girl to Muse, to Tim’s wedding night (steady), we explore how music holds memories tighter than our brains ever could. Check out the playlist so far on Spotify in the link below. And finally, Tim tells a story. A real one. About his dad, a fishing trip, and a man who could very well have been a time-travelling Tim... bear with us... Is it just an INCREDIBLY weird coincidence, or something else entirely?
