EPISODE 5: The Confidence Code - Men don’t cry - or do they!? Deep dive into men’s mental health

GUEST: Chris Pinner – Founder of Innerfit
https://innerfit.co.uk/

In today's powerful episode, we're joined by Chris Pinner, the inspiring founder of Innerfit, who is dedicated to helping people overcome burnout and thrive both personally and professionally. Chris shares his personal journey from working exhausting 35-hour stretches to discovering the importance of mental wellbeing, leading him to establish Innerfit.

Mesi and Chris met while organizing a wellness week at American Express, and quickly bonded over their mutual passion for employee wellbeing. Today, they're diving deep into a crucial topic—men's mental health—and breaking down the harmful stigmas that hold many back from expressing their true emotions.

We explore the concept of emotional literacy, why so many of us default to "I'm fine," and how digging deeper can transform our wellbeing. Chris openly shares his own experiences with vulnerability, the freedom he found in emotional expression, and insights into how workplaces can foster environments where people feel safe to genuinely open up.

Can we really be authentic in the corporate world, especially with bosses watching? Chris believes it’s possible—with the right questions, empathy, and a supportive dynamic. Tune in to discover why confidence isn't about control, but about trusting yourself to navigate uncertainty, let go of self-doubt, and simply do your best.

Hope you walk away feeling empowered to embrace vulnerability and inspired to foster confidence within yourself and your team. Enjoy!
