Vulnerability and struggle are nothing to be ashamed of

Nobody likes to feel vulnerable, but the reality is, we all are. As Rocky said, the world is a mean and nasty place, and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.

So isn't it about time that we accepted that we are all vulnerable, and that we're not made to feel ashamed when we are overwhelmed by life?

In my new video I show how vulnerability is an inherent part of being a fighter, and what we can learn from this lesson to make us more resilient to life's punches.

Why it's important to be able to talk about mental health

We need to do more as a society to ensure that people feel able to get support when they are struggling with their mental health. Men in particular need to know that it is nothing to be ashamed of.

Shame and stigma costs lives every day. We mustn't feel that we have to suffer alone and in silence. We mustn't feel ashamed to ask for help when we need it. 

We're only human after all.

Keep punching,

Matthew
