Blake Worrall Thompson is on a mission to improve men's mental and emotional health.He reckons it’s only once blokes feel comfortable opening up and expressing themselves, we can cultivate generational change.But it’s been quite the journey for Blake to reach this point in his life.He endured a traumatic childhood, where he says he rarely, if ever, felt safe.Then there was a tumultuous 18 month period where he lost everything. And I mean everything – his job. His money. His girlfriend. His car. His house. Even his health.But Blake wouldn’t change any of it for the world – because it was only once he was stripped of everything he valued – he was able to step into his true purpose.And that’s MoMENtum, a movement aiming to empower men to improve the quality of their lives.There were so many lightbulb moments in this chat for me to understand how I, as a woman, can better understand and support the men in my life and raise my son to feel safe and supported to embrace his authentic self.A language warning with this one if you've got little ears around.Also, Blake was in beautiful Byron Bay for this interview so you'll likely hear the birds singing their hearts out in the background. It was a nice touch for me in dreary Melbourne!Follow Blake here, check out moMENtum here.As always, you can connect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, and perhaps share it on your social media channels too!
