Beyond “Just Talk, Lads”: Spartan Mental Fitness & The Truth About Men’s Mental Health

Beyond “Just Talk, Lads”: Spartan Mental Fitness & The Truth About Men’s Mental Health

In this episode of The Black Country Blokes, Kev and Lee are joined by long-time friend DR Emily Barney from Spartannn Brain Gym– back in the very room where she now runs her mental fitness sessions.

Together, they dive into a big question:

Is the message “men just need to talk” actually helping – or does it oversimplify a much bigger problem?

They get properly stuck into:

  • Why saying “he should’ve talked” can sound a lot like blaming the bloke who’s died
  • How men do ask for help – and how often nobody really listens
  • The reality of trying to get support when services are underfunded and impossible to access
  • Phones, doomscrolling, dopamine and whether we’re all addicted to constant stimulation
  • The pressure to provide, being a dad, and that “messy middle” of life where everyone wants a piece of you
  • Emily’s idea of “mental fitness” – training your brain like a muscle with “mental press-ups”, gratitude reps and tiny daily wins
  • Why our brains are “Velcro for negatives, Teflon for positives” – and what you can actually do about it

They also talk about taking this work into prisons, rowing challenges to represent the number of men lost to suicide, and why treating people as humans not statistics might just be the start of real change.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be grateful but your head says otherwise, or you’re sick of being told to “man up” and “just talk”, this one’s for you.
