Pete Wicks On Male Loneliness "I Don't Feel Like I’m Enough”
About this episode
Pete Wicks discusses male loneliness and mental health in an honest conversation with Paul C. Brunson.
In honour of Loneliness Awareness Week 2026, we explore loneliness, grief and men’s mental health through Pete Wicks’ honest conversation with Paul. Pete opens up about being an “outgoing loner,” losing his nan, learning to accept help, and the private battles people often hide behind a public image. This episode looks at why loneliness can still exist when you’re surrounded by people, and why admitting you need support can be the first step towards finding peace. Remember you're not alone.
