Pinned2Purpose - A Mental Health Initiative

The Pinned2Purpose Podcast is about helping 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, and you've found yours".  This universal truth led me to develop a benchpress metaphor (see explainer video) that addresses a main root of stigma: People with these challenges are not "weak" but can be in a weakened state. 

I hope the podcast provides valuable insights for many healing journeys.
