Burnout, anxiety, stress is at an all time high. People are the greatest asset of an organisation. The better people look after themselves, the better they perform in all areas of life - both at work and home. Every single tiny choice we make during the day is shaping our lives, directly impacting how we feel and experience life. After getting the biggest wake up call of losing everything in my life in 2016 I had no choice but to face my habits and make a change. The changes at first seemed so insignificant that I didn't believe they would make a difference. BUT they did. The Positive Habits Podcast is for people who want to live a better life, with higher energy levels, less stress, better relationships and ultimately to supercharge their performance in all areas of life. I'm on a mission to help people improve their wellbeing with one small habit change.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T02:31:32.026894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216"},"episode":{"title":"Disconnected; How I Found My Way Back to Life","slug":"disconnected-how-i-found-my-way-back-to-life","published_at":"2026-06-09T04:33:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216/disconnected-how-i-found-my-way-back-to-life","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/e178a879f8bcad0b89204bf01491a5e45be91607a70b4943e47bbf2f70a3300e/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJmYzlkZDc3MS0zNTJlLTQ5MGItYjAzYy04OTU3NTAwMTMyMGQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEyNzk3OWUwZDIzMTAzMTY5ZTAxMTZmL2thdC10aG9ybmVzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTYtOV9fNi0zMy0zNC5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/e178a879f8bcad0b89204bf01491a5e45be91607a70b4943e47bbf2f70a3300e/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJmYzlkZDc3MS0zNTJlLTQ5MGItYjAzYy04OTU3NTAwMTMyMGQiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEyNzk3OWUwZDIzMTAzMTY5ZTAxMTZmL2thdC10aG9ybmVzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTYtOV9fNi0zMy0zNC5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"In this powerful episode of The Positive Habits Podcast, Kat sits down with Pete for an honest conversation about men’s mental health, disconnection, alcohol, suicidal thoughts, community, cold water and what it really means to start healing. Pete shares how he spent much of his life feeling disconnected - from himself, from other men, and from the world around him. He opens up about growing up around emotional silence, using alcohol as a way to belong, and the moment he realised something had to change. This episode explores why so many men are struggling in silence, and how community, sea dipping, therapy, mentoring and small acts of courage helped Pete rebuild his life. You’ll hear about: • Why Pete believes many men today feel deeply disconnected • How alcohol became a mask for confidence, belonging and pain • Pete’s journey from suicidal thoughts to finding support • The life-changing moment he walked onto the beach and found a men’s sea-dipping community • Why cold water, breath work and community helped him process therapy • The role of The Chimp Paradox in helping him understand his thoughts • Why doing hard things together builds trust, resilience and connection • How Men Who PLNGE became part of Pete’s support system • Why one conversation, one act of support, or one person showing up can change a life Pete’s story is raw, brave and deeply important - especially during Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. As Pete says: “One conversation, one act of support and one person showing up can change the course of one life.” This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Sometimes the first step is simply turning up.
