Masculinity and getting mentally and emotionally unstuck with Mike Lardi

Mike Lardi of the Bipolar Now podcast shares his story of beginning a journey into mental health and getting unstuck from harmful cycles. Most men encounter cycles of poor mental health. Yet a tiny fraction of men ever share their struggles or seek counseling. Why is that? 

As Mike shares his story, we get a sense of the strength revealed by taking a step into vulnerability, and the renewed strength encountered by moving towards a sense of wholeness.

He is an award-winning artist and a budding entrepreneur residing in “a hidden mountain village” in Southern California.

Ryan Dunn has a bunch of certificates on his desk. A few are awards for content production and marketing. Another marks his ordination as a minister. One says he’s earned a BA in English from the University of Iowa. The certificate next to that says he earned an MA in Christian Practice from Duke (with honors!). Ryan is most proud, though, of the things he’s created: The Compass Podcast, some deep content on RethinkChurch.org, a series of practical spiritual advice videos, a long-lasting marriage, and fantastic little boy. (He enjoyed A LOT of help on all of those projects, especially the last two.)
