Ep #41 - Understanding Men Series - Endurance and Empowerment Through Ant Hillman's Eyes

The Working Mums Podcast

After dealing with the anxiety around public speaking, Ant found a transformative way forward, and you can too. Join me as we sit down with the incredible Ant Hillman, whose as a children's author, inventor, electrician & most recently Ultra X marathon runner, offers an amazing look into the male perspective on mental health and personal growth. Ant opens up about his journey through the challenges of public speaking, ADHD, and dyslexia, sharing how embracing emotions has paved the way for remarkable personal transformation.
In our conversation, we explore self-confidence and authenticity, reflecting on how vulnerability can lead to genuine happiness and fulfillment. We talk about overcoming the fear of public speaking and the emotional hurdles of depression and addiction, emphasizing how pivotal moments can redefine one's life. Ant shares compelling stories about fatherhood and sobriety, illustrating how these experiences have become catalysts for change, leading him toward a life of joy and resilience.
Our discussion takes a deeper look at the power of endurance and mental resilience, as Ant recounts his grueling ultramarathon journey and the profound lessons it taught him about setting meaningful goals and pushing beyond limits. We discuss practical strategies like positive self-talk and visualization, which not only fuel endurance but also open doors to personal growth.
To wrap up, we highlight the importance of mindset in overcoming challenges and creating a positive future, with a nod to Ant's inspiring work with the charity "Heads Up.
