#105 The Number 1 Reason Why Relationships Fail, Expert Relationship Psychotherapist Charisse Cooke

This week, I sit down with Bilal Muhammad — a man who redefined what it means to bounce back.

At just 26, Bilal was diagnosed with a brain tumour that could have ended everything. But instead of pressing pause, he hit play on a new chapter — founding Zenith, a boutique PR and brand strategy agency that’s already making serious waves.

With a decorated background in PR and social media, Bilal’s résumé includes work with global icons like GQ, Google, Universal Music, and DAZN. He’s helped shape campaigns that speak to culture, drive influence, and put brands exactly where they need to be — in front of the right people, in the right way.

In this episode, we unpack his journey through illness, recovery, and ambition. From the highs of rubbing shoulders with the industry elite to the lows of hospital beds and self-doubt — Bilal opens up on how he built a brand from scratch while rebuilding himself from the inside out.

If you’ve ever needed proof that adversity can sharpen your vision rather than blur it — this is it.

#108 This Is Why You’re Tired, Overweight, and Unwell (Nobody Tells You This) w/Phil Anthony

In this deeply vulnerable episode, we uncover a reality that’s almost never spoken about: postnatal depression in men.

Our guest — a father of two — shares his raw and emotional story of what happened when his second son was born. With no relationship, no support, and a crushing sense of isolation, he began to unravel.

From violent intrusive thoughts about his newborn, to being afraid of himself and bottling it all up, this episode dives into the darkest corners of men’s mental health, fatherhood, and emotional survival.

Eventually, therapy and the power of speaking up pulled him out — and today, he has a strong relationship with his son and a new outlook on life.

If you’re a dad, a partner, or know someone silently struggling — this episode could be life-changing.

Keywords: postnatal depression in men, men’s mental health, fatherhood and depression, intrusive thoughts new dads, emotional vulnerability in men, male therapy journey, breaking the stigma in men’s health.
