Welcome to the 'Pushin\\u2019 Through Blu' Podcast.  

\\n

On Episode 9, Ryan Betson shares his story and experiences with:  

\\n

- how video and table-top games are changing lives at genU Gamer

\\n

- becoming a father for the first time, both the miracle and the struggles

\\n

- how his perspective and approach to creating content with The Popculturists has changed over time

\\n

- his own mental health challenges with anxiety and how he has been learning to recognise the signs early and managing his thoughts through applied acknowledgement and logic. 

\\n

'You need to own it, in order to accept it'.

\\n

----------  

\\n

Ryan is sharing his own experiences, in an effort to bring awareness to mental health, not only to other content creators, but to anyone who may be going through the same thoughts and feelings, to know that you are not alone, and to offer some insight and techniques for both recognising the signs early, as well assisting  to manage.
