Episode 1 - The ‘Pressure Sandwich’ Effect

"I feel like I’m being crushed from both sides."

Welcome to This Is Why He Killed Himself

A podcast about the silent struggles men face in midlife.

In this first episode, we unpack The Pressure Sandwich Effect

The invisible weight that hits men in their 40s when they’re pulled between ageing parents, dependent kids, and careers that no longer fulfil them.

We talk about:

• What it feels like to be the “go-to guy” when no one checks in on you
• Why burnout in men hides in plain sight
• The quiet grief of success that no longer fits
• How midlife isn’t a crisis, it’s a call to evolve

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’m fine” when you’re clearly not, this one’s for you.

You’re not broken.

You’re not weak.

You’re just carrying too much, for too long, alone.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

This is how we change the story, one conversation at a time.
