Melancholy & Bacon
Everyone deals with mental health at some point, and it can be a tricky thing to discuss, let alone live with.
Here, on Melancholy and Bacon, I jump headfirst into the topic of mental health with a little bit of humor and a whole lot of honesty.
I’m just an everyday guy talking about what should be an every day subject.
Things here are casual but candid, there won’t be any tiptoeing around topics. I will be openly discussing a subject that is often shuffled into the shadows and hopefully clearing away some of the fog around something so many live with.
I’ll be sharing personal experiences and stories, covering current beliefs in the field and a few of my own evolving hypothesis. Maybe, with a dash of luck and a lot of information, we can break down the stigmas surrounding mental health.
Whether you are struggling yourself or are simply curious to learn more, here you'll find open, honest, judgment-free conversation.
Tune in, grab a snack (if it's bacon, make sure you share), and let's navigate the ups and downs of mental health together. Your mental well-being matters, and I’m here to remind you that you're not alone.

Melancholy & Bacon
Stigmas? More like Stig-nahs!
"You are not lazy. You are not broken. You are not defective"
In this episode, I challenge outdated and harmful beliefs that society holds about mental health. I explore the different types of stigmas and discuss their immense impact on those struggling with mental health issues.
This episode isn’t just about highlighting problems—it’s about encouraging change. I touch on the importance of open conversations and how acknowledging and confronting stigmas can pave the way for a more inclusive and supportive society, as well as cover how self stigmas can be affecting us, maybe with out even being aware of it.
