Children don’t learn emotional safety from what we say.

They learn it from what happens when they tell the truth.

That moment becomes identity.

The adults we meet later
are the children who learned
whether honesty kept them close.

We don’t get better alone.

This is great to see - hopefully we can keep some blokes out of there but a much improved safety net!

There’s a quiet issue inside the NDIS that rarely makes headlines.

Not fraud.
Not overspending.

Disengagement.

Across Australia, men with approved supports are not fully using their plans — often because of poor mental health, stigma, or simple exhaustion.

Unused support isn’t a saving. It’s deferred crisis.

I’ve written about the impact this has — not just on participants, but on families, communities, and long-term government expenditure.

We need a conversation about engagement, not just budgets.

With the way the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme is being discussed right now, a lot of disabled people are feeling like a burden. That should worry all of us.

We all deserve to be more fully informed.

Here’s what the debate keeps leaving out: https://mendis.digiwell.com.au/the-truth-about-the-ndis/

I spent the last week editing guided meditations — headphones, waveforms, tiny breath pauses… the whole lot. And it reinforced something big: you can’t think your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.
We’ve launched Guided Chill-Pills inside Mendis — short, practical sessions to help you downshift when life feels a bit loud.

There’s never a bad time for something free! but heading back into busy work or school after a long weekend this may be perfect timing to take a few moments and metaphorically stand tall 🧡

This week I noticed something curious.

It wasn’t bad news or a difficult moment that caught me out — it was kindness.

The kind that arrives without strings, explanations, or expectation.

I wrote about what’s actually happening in the nervous system when this occurs, why many men are comfortable helping but uneasy receiving, and why that matters more than we realise.

Strength doesn’t only flow outward.

Sometimes it’s not the hard conversations that undo us — it’s the kindness. This reflection explores what’s happening in the nervous system when support lands unexpectedly, why many men find receiv…
