On this episode of The Brink, we sit down with Neil O’Sullivan for a raw and insightful chat about men’s mental health, vulnerability and breaking down the outdated ideas of masculinity. Before stepping into the wellness space, Neil spent over a decade in digital marketing, working with brands like Special Olympics, Oxfam, and ViacomCBS, honing his skills in branding and creative direction. That journey led him to co-found Nimbus Co., Australia’s first exclusive infrared sauna studio and wellness space, built on the idea that health should be in people’s own hands. In this conversation, we dive into how his entrepreneurial path has shaped his perspective on balance, restoration and what it really means to take care of yourself.

Neil also opens up about his own mental health journey, including his battles with anxiety and talks about the practices that have helped him along the way, from meditation and breath work to cold therapy and finding balance in everyday life. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mental well-being and Neil shares practical insights on how small, intentional habits can make a big difference.

We talk about gratitude, managing stress and the unexpected lessons that come from life’s curveballs. Whether it’s learning to embrace the discomfort of an ice bath or realising you don’t actually miss alcohol that much, this conversation is all about finding what works for you.
