86. Men of Gold with Dayne Weston

Welcome to Episode 86- Men of Gold with Dayne Weston

This week, I’m joined by former rugby league player Dayne Weston who shares his footy and personal life challenges.

Dayne bravely opens up about the impact of childhood trauma, performance-based love, and his struggles during a difficult divorce. Through his own experiences, he emphasizes the need for open dialogue and understanding surrounding mental health issues, both in sports and society.

Throughout the interview, Dayne reflects on the evolving approach to mental health within rugby league clubs. He highlights the positive influence of well-being teams and empathetic coaches, stressing the importance of creating a supportive environment for players to discuss their mental well-being.

Dayne passionately advocates for year-round mental health awareness and dispels the stigma associated with seeking help; including what he is doing to support men through Men of Gold.

Join us for an inspiring and honest conversation as Dayne sheds light on the significance of vulnerability, mental health support, and fostering a culture of compassion in sports. This episode challenges the status quo and encourages listeners to prioritize mental health conversations and create a more inclusive and supportive community.
