Thank you for tuning into episode #19 of The Why Moments Podcast.
Profession Bio (provided by Jed):
"I am currently studying a bachelor of secondary education at Latrobe University Bendigo, majoring in Physical Education & also Health Education, whilst also working as a fully qualified personal trainer after completing my cert III & IV in fitness, expressing my extreme passion towards educating and improving the lives of others. Having developed an enormous amount of passion relating all things health, fitness and nutrition, working as a personal trainer has allowed me to express this passion and work towards improving the lives of others. I am currently also working as a student ambassador & part of the School partnerships program for Latrobe University working and facilitating with multiple schools across Bendigo.
Having always enjoyed sport, fitness and health I was lucky enough to be employed by AFL Central Victoria. This Job in which I am currently still employed within was the reason in which I developed the passion to pursue a career as a teacher, as I became aware of how much I loved working with kids and educating them on something that I was so passionate about myself.
Growing up as a child it became apparent from an early age that I suffered from anxiety and this gradually progressed overtime. As the onset of adolescent initiated this anxiety became far worse and was something that was beginning to have an enormous impact on my life. This eventually lead to some extremely difficulty times, with hurdles along the way that at times have felt as if there was no way of overcoming, leading to some extremely dark days. I went through days where getting out of bed was a challenge, where socializing with others was a challenge and the most minor of things were an enormous amount of stress to me, but I was one of the lucky ones, I was extremely lucky to have a network of family and friends to help me get to where I am today. The struggles in which I have faced an overcome have lead me to pursue a passion towards helping others through similar difficult times, as there is always a light at the end of a tunnel for each and every one of us, it is just sometimes hard to see.
I have recently joined with Headspace Bendigo as part of the Youth Reference Group, which is a truly incredible team of like-minded individuals who are on the same path as me; that is to help, educate and ultimately inspire others. As a team we will be working towards raising awareness and working towards improving mental health for the youth of Bendigo. Moving forward, I am ultimately pursuing and doing everything I can to improve the lives of others through mental health, fitness and nutrition, by providing a face to the youth of Bendigo and working towards making this nation a better place for all."
