Why do so many men suffer in silence?From a young age, many boys are taught to be strong, hide their emotions, and deal with problems on their own. Over time, those lessons can become barriers that prevent men from speaking up when they need support the most.In this heartfelt episode, Paul explores the pressures society places on men, the fear of vulnerability, and the dangerous belief that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Through honest reflection, we examine why so many men choose silence over conversation and why breaking that silence could save lives.This episode is a reminder that true strength isn't found in hiding your struggles—it's found in having the courage to share them.Because no man should ever feel he has to carry the weight of the world alone.🌅 Green Sunrise Podcast – Decide On Life 💚

🎙 EPISODE 1 Behaviour Is CommunicationLiving With Autism — Behind The Scenes📄 Episode Description What looks like defiance is often distress.What looks like aggression is often overwhelm.What looks like “bad behaviour” is often communication.In this first episode of a new reflective series, I share what I’ve learned supporting a 17-year-old autistic young person in everyday life.No names.No judgement.Just lived experience.We explore:• Why emotional outbursts aren’t sudden• The early signs of overwhelm most people miss• What dysregulation really means• The “shaken bottle” metaphor• The power of a mother’s consistency over 17 years• And who he is when the storm passesThis episode isn’t about labelling behaviour.It’s about understanding what’s underneath it.Because when we change the way we see behaviour —we change the way we respond.If you want something slightly more punchy for socials, use this shorter version:Episode 1: Behaviour Is CommunicationBehind every outburst is a nervous system in overwhelm.Behind every threat is distress.Behind every “difficult moment” is something unprocessed.This episode looks underneath behaviour — and what changes when we do.Living With Autism — Behind The Scenes (Series)

⚠️ Wee technical hiccup at the start — StreamYard decided Brian Mitchell was the main character for the first 15 minutes 😅Stick with it though, the conversation really flows once we get going.After a wee technical hiccup at the start (live podcasting at its finest 😅), this episode turns into a powerful, honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health in football.Too often, footballers and fans alike are expected to be tough, resilient, and unaffected by what life throws at them. But behind the noise, the pressure, and the passion of the game are real people navigating real struggles.In this episode, we’re joined by Keith from C’mon the Hoops, who speaks openly and bravely about his own experiences with mental health — how it affected him, how he faced it, and what helped him keep going. His honesty is a reminder of how powerful it can be when people share their stories without fear or judgement.We also take time to reflect on the wider mental health landscape in football, including the current situation involving Bobo Baldé, who is receiving care in a psychiatric ward. Rather than speculate or sensationalise, we approach this with empathy, dignity, and compassion. Seeking professional help is not a failure — it’s a vital step towards recovery.Players like Paul Gascoigne remind us how fame, pressure, and unresolved trauma can collide when support systems aren’t strong enough — and why conversations around mental health, aftercare, and stigma in football still matter deeply.Adding to the warmth of this episode, we’re joined by Boab, making a special appearance from our very first-ever Green Sunrise Podcast studio chat. His visit is a beautiful reminder of where this journey began and the community that has grown alongside it.Me, Brian Mitchell, Keith, and Boab share a genuine, open and respectful conversation — one rooted in understanding, lived experience, and the belief that talking openly can help others feel less alone.This episode isn’t about gossip. It’s about connection, compassion, and changing how we talk about mental health — in football and beyond.If you or someone you know is struggling, please know support is available and it’s okay to reach out.#MentalHealth#Loneliness#YouAreNotAlone#RealTalk#SpeakUp
