The only way to break free from codependent relationships is to set boundaries. Here’s your challenge. What is one thing that you can say ‘no’ to this week?
In "Off The Cuff" Season 2, Episode 22, former radio DJ and media personality Keith Walsh joins host Danny LoPriore to discuss the deep-rooted issue of toxic masculinity in Irish culture and his personal journey towards mental health and self-discovery.
Keith candidly shares his experiences growing up in Ireland, where phrases like "Be a man," "Grow a pair," and "Real men don't cry" have been ingrained in society since the country's independence in 1949. He sheds light on the historical traumas that have shaped Irish culture and how these have impacted generations of men.
"And we go back to talking about toxic masculinity, this is how households are run, by men who have trauma who were triggered by things, took it out on everybody in the house, were completely unreasonable, and expected everybody to just turn up for mass on a Sunday morning smiling." - (35:36)
Keith opens up about his own struggles with imposter syndrome, which was brought to the forefront when he lost his position as a host on one of Ireland's most successful morning shows. This experience forced him to confront his self-worth and identity beyond his career.
"I had mistakenly attached my success as a person to the job I was doing. So, my success as a human being, was not how my kids were doing, how happy my wife was, how happy I was, ya know do I love myself? It was, what job I say to people, when they ask me, when they meet me at a party. How successful I was was how big the show was. Me and that job…that was me. So when it was taken off me, I was like who the f*ck am I? What's left?" - (23:14)
The conversation takes an inspiring turn as Keith discusses his decision to seek therapy, a choice that he describes as transformative:
"It was, hands down, the best thing I ever did in my whole life. The only regret I had with going to therapy is I didn't do it when I was 15 or 16."
This powerful episode challenges societal norms surrounding masculinity and mental health, offering listeners a raw and honest look at one man's journey towards self-acceptance and healing. Keith's story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and the potential for personal growth that comes with confronting our inner struggles.
