Episode 40 | Being Tough Enough To Talk - with Dan Repacholi
Embedded Files
Many men are taught how to be strong — but not how to be supported.
In this episode, we sit down with Dan Repacholi — Federal Member for the Hunter and Special Envoy for Men’s Health — for a deeply personal conversation about shame, responsibility, resilience, and what happens when vulnerability isn’t part of the story you’re raised with. Drawing on his own experiences and public role, Dan reflects on identity, pressure, and the quiet courage it takes to ask for help.
This is a conversation about rewriting old rules and learning how to stay connected — to yourself, and to the people who love you.

Dan will be sharing these Health MANagement videos every month with the @hneccphn to focus on practical ways blokes can look after their health.
If you are thinking about getting started have a chat with your GP or check out some good online health resources. Small steps add up and looking after yourself keeps you around longer for the people who matter.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to Dan for taking the time to join us in the studio and for showing up with such openness, honesty, and generosity. These conversations aren’t always easy, and they require courage, self-awareness, and a real commitment to listening as much as speaking. We’re so grateful for the care and thought Dan brought into this space, and for the trust he placed in us to hold it well.
We truly believe that change begins with conversations like this — ones that are human, reflective, and grounded in lived experience. Dan’s willingness to share his own journey, alongside the work he continues to do for men’s health, creates space for all of us to feel less alone and more supported.
