I know NOTHING about NRL but I know who Braith Anasta is so that's a good start, right? The former Bulldogs and Roosters captain is my guest on the show and we chat about all things mental health: the ups and downs of being a professional athlete, the challenges he faced making it as an 18-year-old, coping with his father's suicide and now using his platform to mentor young athletes. I wasn't expecting Braith to be so honest and open in this interview, but he was. And I hope he inspires YOU to not only reach out for help when you need it, but also check in on your family and friends who might be struggling.
