Pinned2Purpose - A Mental Health Initiative

The Pinned2Purpose podcast is focused on helping to remove stigma around mental health challenges and conditions, engaging in conversations about mental health and well-being, and giving people a hand-up on their healing journeys.

A number of years ago, I was hospitalized for 5 weeks with a mental breakdown when I could no longer sustain an entrepreneurial venture I was extremely passionate about and had a young family to support:

One of the most striking things I learned while in hospital was from my doctor who told me: "Geoff, everyone has a breaking point(s), and you've found yours" This universal truth led me to develop a benchpress metaphor (see explainer video) that applies to everyone in the world. People in these situations are not "Weak" but in a "Weakened State". BIG DIFFERENCE!
