Breaking The Silence launches B² = P with an honest conversation about men’s mental health, burnout, anxiety and emotional numbness. Brian and Bruno share lived experience and explain why silence erodes connection, energy and purpose. You will hear practical, evidence-led tools you can start today: a calm breathing rhythm of about six breaths per minute to settle the nervous system, affect labelling to reduce reactivity, and a simple 30-second self-scan to track how you feel through the day. The episode introduces the B² = P formula, Breakdown × Breakthrough = Passion, and closes with a free “Private Mirror” AI prompt so you can reflect safely and in your own time. Whether you feel flat, overwhelmed or unsure where to start, this is a grounded, stigma-free guide to speaking up, rebuilding resilience and finding community.
