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.

Not so good Grief
"Like so many things that we go through grief can be masked by other things."
In this episode I talk about the unavoidable thing called grief. Maybe you don't know you're grieving, or maybe like a lot of us do, you're trying to NOT feel grief. We can't escape it, but if we can understand something, we can work through it. Analogies abound, playing in the mud, out dated models of thinking about grief, correlations to ancient human beings and so many things in between. It all ties together, I promise. So come on in, take a seat and take a peak inside the world of grief.
