Women are Depressed and Anxious, Men are Suicidal - A Man's Outlook

I interview my hubby, Luke Raven, to get a different perspective on mental health.  I am going to ask him the difficult question of why he thinks more women are depressed and anxious while more men are prone to suicide. We talk about family origins, societal pressures, and powerful conversations and how these can change lives. Don't miss this episode! 

     Tune in for: 

• How reliable are Statistics? women are more depressed and anxious while men are more prone to suicide  
• Traditional Family Role Expectations and New Societal Pressures 
• Male Networks vs Female Networks  
• Family Communication Then vs Now 
• How we are setting a precedent for how our own children cope with pressures
• Verbal and Non-verbal communication      

     ABOUT ANNA 

Hello! I am Anna, a poet, writer and storyteller. For years, I have struggled with depression before I finally realised that I am enough, valued, and loved. While battling with depression and going through hoops in my search for self-confidence, I finally found the love of writing.  Journalling my thoughts, emotions and experiences in my first-ever self-published book has been a wonderful and fulfilling journey. I had such a low self-esteem before I eventually found the courage to write about my thoughts, feelings, and experiences in this collection of poems and short stories. Then, magic happened. I worked out and finally understood that I am not alone in this world, and that my story is worth sharing with all who might be feeling the same way. This collection of poems and short stories has brought me a beautiful gift of rebirth and a new leash on life. It dawned on me that my healing was a gift I owed to my self. I found self-worth.  I found love.  I found joy.  I found myself as whole again. Through my journey, I have become an advocate for meaningful conversations.  I am starting a podcast, and I would love to talk to you, and talk about how it is so important for our souls and spirits to thrive, and not just survive. We all deserve to be happy - to shine and to sparkle!
