Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

#163 Blakey Johnston on Losing His Dad, Finding Peace In The Sea And Forgetting Lunchboxes


Listen Later

Blakey Johnston looks like a Viking, walks around barefoot, and once surfed for 40 hours straight to raise awareness for mental health.

A former pro surfer, dad of two, and the guy who surfed for 40 hours straight to raise awareness for mental health, Blakey opens up about the loss of his dad to suicide and what came after.

We get a glimpse into his world as a parent still figuring it out, juggling grief, school drop-offs, and the pressure to keep it together when life’s anything but.
