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
Give 'em the finger
"For me the finger represents the thing that you can turn to no matter what is going on, that helps keep you sane."
In the world today, it sometimes feels like there is a never ending tug of war taking place for our time. We are constantly being pulled this way by that thing, and that way by this thing, and slantways and longways and backways... when so many things are demanding so much from us, how do we try and maintain some balance, and keep ourselves from getting lost in the fray?
In this episode I talk about just that. An adapted concept I call, the "one thing". I'll share with you the completely random thing that spurred the theory, what it means to me, a brief look into what my "one thing" is, and try and give a little guidance on how you might be able to figure out your own "one thing". And maybe, just maybe along the way even make sense of what giving them the finger is all about.
