Catching up with Zane Munro is such a wicked experience, he has so much passion and drive to break the stigma surrounding mental health, but especially breaking the the cone of silence that surrounds men in this space. Allowing yourself to not be judged, to be vulnerable, to maintain dignity and to let yourself lean into others for support. Nobody is left behind, nobody is alone. Zane lives by these values.
Zane is the curator behind ForAllTheBrothers and the Host of Brain Chat which is supported by Ārepa. He provides a platform where men can come together and share their "pits" and "peaks", engage with other people whom have or are in a similar space of change, create connections and friendships. Zane shared his vision around Brain Chat and the relationship he has with Ārepa and how they both compliment one another.
Zane always shows his appreciation for the many other legends out their doing fantastic work in Mental health, but he is undoubtably a major shining light in this space. Unselfishly giving back in a huge way to so many brothers, dads, mates, uncles, husbands, fathers, that have needed a vehicle like this to feel safe and to openly talk about themselves in an honest and organic way.
Thank you Zane for sharing with us. Absolute pleasure watching you grow and the positive impact you are having on so many.
