19.01.2022 "The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows." - Brene Brown . How much of your joy is being cast into the shadows only because of your fear of the dark? .... I lived my life like this for many years. My life still contains darkness and shadows, but I know it and try to stand in it. This version of me was born in the dark but it defines the light in my life. See more

17.01.2022 This tiny little bundle of perfection is my nephew, not by blood but by life. Noahs father helped keep me alive in my darkest days so that I can continue to be a father and a husband. Just like his parents, Noah is my family. . .... . #family #love #mentalhealth See more

08.01.2022 Recently I was invited to speak with Davide from Fleurieu Chat to talk about our mental health during the restrictions and impact of COVID-19.

06.01.2022 Mental Health and self-awareness are a topic of real importance at the best of times; during these interesting days amidst COVID-19 restrictions, it is even more important. If you're looking for a Podcast during isolation, click the link and listen as Sam Stewart, CEO of Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association Inc. and I chat about my story and particularly the importance of self-awareness and self-stigma. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7FuOtK71Fzi8oX7BZ4qSSp

05.01.2022 The amazing Emma Hack Gallery worked her magic on this different approach to tackling mental health challenges this Halloween. Thank you The Hospital Research Foundation for the opportunity to be involved. #mentalhealth #livedexperience

04.01.2022 Today is PTSD awareness day. Many know my story, knowing that PTSD has become a major part of my life. . My living experience with mental health challenges means I'm still learning how to adapt, grow and become stronger. I still have some days where I struggle, both with symptoms and self-stigma. .... I'm confident we overcome stigma by sharing our stories and supporting others as they navigate their own path to living with PTSD. . If you need someone to speak with, message me. I'm in, we got this. . #ptsd #mentalhealthawareness #leo #emergencyservices See more
