When Mark came out a lot of people were shocked because a boyband should not have a "gay" but then that was a big step he did as more men came out for who they are. And that parents became more aware of what it means to come out

My therapist just recommended me "The Power of Now" and she said a lot of the things the guys said so I'm actually considering them now!!

What an interesting talk! It’s so nice to hear them talk about mental health and the importance of taking care of it. I’m glad Mark brought up CBT because, having tried that type of therapy myself, it immensely helped me to understand the process behind some negative or anxious thoughts that I may have and find ways to properly deal with them and change my way of seeing things. Thanks for this great podcast!

Spot on Nicky - you have to control your mind and not let it control you. And Kian you are absolutely correct - becoming a parent makes you stop focusing on yourself because you're entirely focused on your children. That can actually help you to take control of your own mind then.

I've struggled with mental health my whole life and now I'm trying to help my daughter who struggles worse than I ever did.
It's not easy, giving up is easy but holding on and trying to get through, that takes alot of strength and courage. We are so much stronger than we realise.

Love you guys and thank you so much for your encouraging words. ❤ From Australia ❤
