056 - Break Free From Anxiety and Depression & Get Mentally Shredded with Christopher Weedon

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Christopher Weedon, Founder of Mentally Shredded, a foundation that was born from his battle with anxiety and depression. Chris has made it his mission to change the stigma of mental health and empower people through personal development. Listen in as Chris shares the powerful advice, tools, and mindset shifts he used to break free from anxiety and depression and get Mentally Shredded.

Chris emphasizes how important it is to have an identity and purpose outside of work, make exercise part of your lifestyle, and rebuild your foundation of mental health when it crumbles.

He describes how transformative it can be to establish a supportive, constructive network of people in your life that can help you develop into the exact person you want and need to be.

"The personal development piece… there's no way I would be here talking to you without that."

– Christopher Weedon

Keep this in mind… We all love sunshine, but it's the rain that helps everything grow. Through every storm, be sure to put your armor on, stand tall, and keep doing what you need to do to fill up your cup.

"I call this the grocery store mentality. Take what aligns with you and put it in your basket. Whatever doesn't align with you, leave it on the shelf because you can't do what I'm doing and you can't do exactly what Ted is doing either. You have to figure out what is working, what is not working, and it's an ebb and flow." – Christopher Weedon
