In a world overflowing with somewhat lacklustre podcasts, it’s always a pleasure to stumble upon an alternative to the surface level norms. When a podcast emerges from a place of genuine experience and purpose, you can hear that quality resounding through each new episode and discussion at hand, and that’s precisely what you get with the unfiltered mental health podcast Sunday Reset.
Hosted by Will, Sunday Reset was created following years of personal turmoil. From six different brain surgeries through heavy depression, suicidal thoughts, and the tragic passing of his girlfriend, Will’s level of both heartbreak and resilience is unrivalled, and as such, his devotion to honesty and his lack of desire to be fake or to simply entertain is brilliantly refreshing.
Noting years of therapy and personal demons spanning throughout his life, Will began blogging about his mental health journey in 2018, released his first book One Step Forward: Ideally In The Right Direction, in 2023, and subsequently began making social media content designed to connect with and comfort those who’d been through equal feelings of loneliness and desperation in life.
Authenticity is key, and in this case, that means no editing, no filter, no falseness – what you hear is precisely what was said and recorded, and it gifts the podcast space a genuine sense of humanity and progression through times of struggle and disconnection from one another.
Most recently, Will sat down with Mick Hunt, to fearlessly dive into the topic of manhood, emotions, and asking for help. It’s a strong introduction to the format of Sunday Reset, and it’s also a crucial topical episode in terms of the current state of the world and what life and its difficulties really entail for many modern men.
The unedited format is essential to the fluidity and realism of Sunday Reset, this conversation feels like a genuine heart-to-heart between friends, but it’s also well rooted in research and structural intention from host Will. The questions drive things in the direction of intrigue and honesty, and deliver a captivating and boldly inspiring conversation, which is insightful and comforting for anyone looking to achieve deeper connections while redefining their own masculinity and leading with ‘heart and courage’.
With episodes spanning back to December of 2024, Sunday Reset has already covered topics ranging from alcohol use to trauma, comedy, and mental health maintenance, has welcomed interviews with the likes of Nick Thompson, from Love is Blind, and has even explored in depth what it’s like to live with bipolar disorder.
For this latter segment, the hour long discussion sees Alexis Lees detail with unfiltered honesty the realities of daily life as someone with bipolar disorder. Alexis openly shares her experiences with mania and the mental health system at large, uncovering the true challenges of life with a mental illness, as well as shining light on the many misconceptions that float around in the modern world.
