Finding Your Voice: How Self-Expression Empowers Men, with Dr Danny Brassell

Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast

In this compelling episode, we dive deep into the silent struggles many men face in expressing themselves—emotionally, verbally, and even creatively. Joined by Dr Danny Brassell, a dynamic speaker, author, and first and foremost, a teacher, we explore the roots of men’s anxiety around vulnerability, confidence, and connection.

Danny shares personal stories of overcoming a childhood stutter, life-changing encounters, and his transformative work with men in high-pressure careers and everyday life. From teaching literacy to helping executives conquer stage fright, Danny reveals the power of small steps and finding your voice—no matter your age or circumstances.

We tackle tough questions:

• Why do men bottle up emotions?
• How does society shape (or limit) men’s ability to open up?
• What simple strategies can men use to take their first steps toward self-expression and growth?

This is more than a conversation; it’s a call to action for mid-life men to break free from outdated norms, embrace vulnerability, and rediscover their potential. Whether you’re struggling with confidence, communication, or feeling stuck in life, this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, and it’s never too late to change.
