IMPORTANT Message On Mental Health Vs Mental Illness, Breaking The Stigma, Living In China, Spirituality - Doubts In Faith? And More - MaateCast Ep6

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Maatecast. In this episode we have fellow maate, William Nicholson joining the boys on the black circle table. Throughout the episode, we talk about Will's upbringing in China, his school journey, his gym progression, but most importantly, the boys delve into Mental Health and Mental Illness and how to break stigma's surrounding it, as well as how to keep yourself mentally healthy. Will has an incredible story and it was an honour to have him on the show to discuss the topic!

We hope you enjoy.
