In this episode of Mental As Anyone, JMo sits down with former NRL player, reality TV star, and BookTok sensation Luke Bateman for a raw conversation on rewriting the script on masculinity.

Living in a modest caravan in the Queensland bush , Luke opens up about hiding his sensitive nature under the mask of a hyper-masculine culture.

He candidly shares his battle with severe depression, a destructive gambling addiction, and reaching a point far beneath rock bottom.

Luke discusses the life-saving phone call with his mother , how rehab completely dismantled his ego , and why embracing feminism and vulnerability is crucial for men's mental health.

Tune in for an unfiltered look at dismantling societal boxes, finding accountability, and building a life of genuine connection.
