#19 The Impact Of P*rn On Men & Evolving To Who I Really Am - We Had Coffee With An Award-Winning Barista

Hearts Wide Open - The Men's Mental Health Podcast

We invited Jaideep to the pod and the conversation that unfolded left us speechless 🤯

Jaideep is an award-winning barista at Wide Awake Coffee in Brussels by day, but he is so much more than that and you can witness this in his thoughts about a wide range of topics related to men's health. He's been working on evolving and becoming his best self a lot over the past decade and it shows.

Join us on this episode as we dive deep into topics of evolving oneself or reinventing yourself and what that implies. We look at both the positive as well as the darker aspects of this never-ending process.

Halfway through the epsiode Jaideep serves us some specialty coffee from Wide Awake Coffee in Brussels and explains his love for the craft of making coffee as well as similarities he sees with evolving himself.

We also touch on the topic of performance anxiety with friends, family, in social situations or at work and what it feels like when you're playing a role that's not truly you. When and why do we do this? Does playing a role gain us anything? What do we have to lose?

Not enough? Wondering why this has become our longest episode thus far? Well hold my drink:

We also discuss a topic that's barely talked about in men's health and that's p*rn! Make sure to stay until the end to get the most out of it. What is Jaideep's story with this topic? How does it impact men and how can you stop?

Lastly we engage in a bit of a unstructured rant on what it means to be "cool" vs. secure.

You can't miss this one!

Stay in the topic and check out another episode? Listen to #12 Authentic Self-Expression: Why Does It Matter? How Can We Express Ourselves Authentically? where we talk more about being authentic and self-expression.
