Dairy farmer Sam Owen returns to The Nutters Club to share how the pressures of farming, finances, and family life forced him to confront and prioritise his mental health.
Once a farmer in survival mode, Sam is now a mental health advocate, helping others recognise the signs they often overlook. He speaks with counsellor Mick Andrews and psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald about the toll that burnout and silence can take - not just on farmers, but on those around them, and why learning to speak up has been life-changing.
