Welcome back for day 6 of World Mental Health Awareness Day! These podcasts drive to create as much awareness into action as possible. On today's show, I welcome Josh Reif to the show. Josh is a men dating specialist, we come from two very different ends of the coaching spectrum. On today's show, we put our heads together and dig deep into how dating apps and the way dating has changed is impacting men's mental health. Some of the key points covered in today's show are:

• How have dating apps changed the way we connect to each other?
• How does using dating apps affect your mental well being?
• Are dating apps promoting value through physical attractiveness only?
• How have the invention of dating apps affected men's self-concept?
• What is the backlash of presenting only a small part of your life online?
• Are men experiencing how it feels to be objectified?
• Are men experiencing apathy toward romantic relationships?
• How is self-confidence and self-esteem at risk in the world of online dating?
