Manage episode 429685541 series 3340218
Neville Stone, together with his precious partner Justine Baker are foster parents to 4 siblings giving them foundation, life and purpose. Their incredible story was captured in Episode 52. The JOURNEY WITH BERNIE community was in awe of their generosity and servitude. Their story gave us multiple messages and reminders of what it means to live with loving hearts.
Then came last week's phone call and threatening news.
Justine was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and no guarantees. This is why Neville reached out to us. He felt lost. In his own words, he was crumbling under the pressure. He felt Fear ... Fear of loss ... Fear of the future. He felt hopeless, not knowing where to turn. We are so fortunate that he turned to A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE, for in doing so he has inspired this riveting podcast focusing on Men's Wellbeing.
We needed some expertise, and we were well aware of Tony Groom's passion and concern from Episode #3, for Men's Health issues. He has long been an advocate of numerous Wellbeing Retreats run by men for men and sees transparent mateship as crucial for men's mental and spiritual strength. His presence on this podcast was so valuable.
Join Neville Stone, Tony Groom and host Bernie K for an exploration of what men need to do to ensure their mental and spiritual health is strong ... that they can cope with the pressures and strains of life ... and why it is perfectly ok to let go of one's machoism and present as vulnerable and human.
You will find this podcast different. It is a live example of how two mates came together for their friend to help him in his time of need. It is a case study and a real time example of how men can support men. The real-life counsel and dialogue make this a riveting episode.
Women who care for their struggling men will gain so much from the wisdoms that are captured over the next 50 minutes.
Please remember, your thoughts and feedback are so valuable.
