This week on Back & Forth, Dan is joined once again by Stu Baker for Part Two of their conversation, focusing on recovery, routines, and the practical steps that helped Stu rebuild his life after crisis. Stu reflects on what changed after hitting rock bottom, explaining how acceptance, honesty, and consistency became central to his recovery, and why mental health is less about quick fixes and more about getting the basics right.
The conversation explores Stu’s Mindset Triangle and Five F’s framework, touching on sleep, movement, food, journaling, and the importance of making time for yourself without guilt. Stu also shares his work with Cycle Away the Stigma, using cycling and conversation to encourage men to open up, connect, and talk before reaching breaking point. It’s an honest, practical, and hopeful discussion about progress over perfection — and proof that small daily choices can make a real difference.
