Kerryn Powell, The Network Catalyst, talks with Kevin Humphries.

Kevin Humphreys served in the Australian Army for 20 years flying Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters. Undertaking a variety of flying and staff roles, he deployed on multiple operational and humanitarian missions around the world. Following his military service, he spent the next decade as a civilian Search and Rescue pilot.

More importantly, Kevin now plays a significant role in mental health advocacy. He is the Mental Health Ambassador for AIRBUS Australia Pacific, a Community Ambassador for Mates4Mates (Veteran's rehabilitation charity) and the founder of Cor Infinitus which brings dignity, respect and healing to the families of those who've served our nation and taken their own lives.

Kevin's mission is to lift humanity by inspiring others to find their own courage and compassion.

For a long time, Kevin kept his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety buried deep. Today, Kevin shares what happens when you hit rock bottom, how he figured it out, and the puzzle pieces that made a difference in transforming his life.

Kevin's story will resonate with many. Possibly you too can help others by being a conduit to support as you relay Kevin's experience and learnings.

1. Mental Illness is normal, manageable and recoverable for the great majority of people - even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.

2. The stories we tell ourselves... What you say to yourself and about yourself is what your future will become. Self talk needs to be compassionate - eg primary school child learning lego for first time.

3. Even if you don't know what to say, just start talking. Even if you don't know how to respond, just keep listening.

In August 2021, Just Peoples.org was the first YTM Ripple Grant recipient to enable Just Peoples Project Leader Elizabeth (Liz) , a physiotherapist for nearly 20 years in Kenya.

After finding it too difficult to turn away children living with disabilities who were unable to pay her fees, Liz committed to provide free support to Maasai families who have a child living with a disability.

In addition to supporting children through treatment and diagnosis, Liz also runs holistic programs to break the stigma facing children living with disabilities in Maasailand, who are traditionally hidden away from society in dark mud houses.

You will hear how Liz educates Maasai mothers and fathers and debunks the belief that having a child born with a disability is a curse on the family. She shows them that with the right support and treatment, their kids can still live fulfilling lives. She trains parents on how they can meet their children's specific needs and works with entire communities to help shift the current stigma facing children living with disabilities so they can thrive and participate in wider society.

Liz shares the outcome of the 3 day camp she ran as a result of funding through Just Peoples, supported by YTM Ripple , and her plans for the coming year.

The ripple effect is something you too can create within your own family setting and can experience the growth and fulfillment that meaningful conversations and relationships can drive.

The start of a New Year is always a good time to set yourself goals, both personally and professionally that support your growth and fulfillment. How do you define growth and fulfillment?

In this episode, Kerryn Powell, The Network Catalyst speaks with Sara Shams, instagram account holder of No Legs_ no worries.

Kerryn meet Sara in 2018, through the START foundation, who empower amputees in life through sport, by providing grants to purchase sports prosthesis or adaptive equipment, to help them achieve their sporting dreams. At that point Sara had set her goal to participate in the Bridge 2 Brisbane fun run.

Sara says "There is a perception that having a disability, being an amputee, is essentially a negative thing, a constant challenge to accept and overcome. However, even though being born without legs has its challenges, but it isn't necessarily something I have had to overcome. Yes, it may be a little harder to reach certain goals (such as the B2B fun run!) but we achieve these goals in spite of our disabilities, not because of it."

Sara started her instagram page as almost a documentation of her journey - in hopes that it will help even just one person experiencing a similar situation. In January, she clocked 10k followers.

Kerryn and Sara will prompt your thinking on what personal growth and fulfillment mean to you as you gain insight to Sara's plan for the coming year.

It is easy to get caught up in between the billion-dollar beauty industry that makes us feel more inadequate with every ad, tv-show and magazine that gets published - and the billion-dollar food industry that's waiting to mop up those insecurities with aisles of manufactured comfort food.

Particularly having gone through multiple lockdowns with its many challenges you can feel weighed down mentally and emotionally by the constant pressure and expectations and can find ourselves turning to food for comfort.
