Men and their mental health in focus

FOR the month of November, The House of Motherly is holding space for men and their mental health.

- 

Each week, I will speak with extraordinary men to explore courage, vulnerability, and the often-unspoken world of big feelings.

This week's guest is Liam Magner, a man who has spent years making South Africa laugh, dance, and lean into joy. His name has become synonymous with bold beats, Veranda Panda, and dancefloors heaving in unison.

Yet behind the strobe lights and pulsating music lies a story far more layered - one that echoes with self-doubt, resilience, and humour. Liam arrived with his trademark wit, Splashy Fen T shirt and a twinkle in his eye, but what unfolded in our conversation was so much more than punchlines and performance anecdotes.

He shared memories of his childhood, including the legendary "cult" he started at school in honour of his dog, a story that had us both in stitches and perfectly encapsulated his quirky, imaginative spirit. But soon, we dipped beneath the surface.
