In this episode I'm joined by Elliott Rae, one of the UK’s most prominent speakers on fatherhood, masculinity and men’s mental health. A LinkedIn top voice, author and founder of the parenting platform MusicFootballFatherhood.
Elliott is committed to fostering open conversations and driving positive change. Elliott's own experiences as a new father, including a diagnosis of PTSD following a traumatic birth, led to the creation of MusicFootballFatherhood—a platform that encourages dads to engage in discussions about topics such as loss, masculinity, and mental health. The platform's impact is further extended through community events and insightful content. In addition to being an Amazon Top 10 bestselling author of the deeply moving book DAD, Elliott presented the acclaimed BBC One documentary 'Becoming Dad' and frequently serves as a media commentator on fatherhood and mental health for prominent outlets such as The Independent, The Telegraph, Loose Women, BBC News, Channel 4, and Radio 5 Live. Notably, Elliott's significant contributions were honored by the United Nations, where he received the #HeForShe award from UN Women UK for his work in engaging men in discussions around gender equality. With an extensive background in Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion, including senior roles such as Head of DEI Delivery at HM Treasury, Elliott is dedicated to supporting individuals and organizations in achieving their goals and aspirations.
