Today's episode I have interviewed a friend Maddy who is currently overseas working within primary school teaching. She shares her lessons that will help you prepare for your own solo adventure!

I have loved travelling Australia solo, and so knew this would be a great episode 3 topic! 🌎 ✈️

This episode is a personal account that covers a snapshot of my own personal experience. Recently I have shown up and applied a lot of my research in short courses that have covered gut microbiome and the interconnected health benefits.

If you notice any early symptoms refer to a doctor and get a blood test.

I talk about the effect of being apart of the Macedon Ranges Youth Unit's program: Live4Life. It had a powerful impact on changing my career path into mental health Youth Work related areas as opposed to other traditional pathways.

Colleen and Dean from headspace Bendigo are on today to speak about what it involves working as an IPS team member. The IPS program is accessible when seeing a mental health clinician at any headspace centre and then get a referral to see them for job seeking advice.

Jed is a local hero, a remarkably strong man who has a depth of lived experience that guides his health programs. Today he speaks about the importance of seeking help during those dark days, being vocal now in helping to break down the stigma of sharing your lived experience of a mental illness. Jed is one of the headspace Bendigo Youth Reference Group team members, like myself who are dedicated to promoting a healthy headspace. His Instagram page is @the_healthproject

Luke Owens is a passionate and vocal advocate for youth homelessness, and at the age of 21 was a creator of change in his Bendigo community. I've known him for 5 years and is now in his late 20's, married and smashing life with his new project. To find out more like him on FB/IG: @ophopofficial

I have a mixture of inputs today, with a new layout! 4 guests and I'm excited for how they all bring different viewpoints and provides a consequential link between each segment. Guests are: Shareta, @kelseywiebept, @mattnunan and @frandargarville. If you resonate with the content, write a review on Apple Podcasts, and like my page on IG/FB: @heal_thygut.

I am apart of headspace Bendigo's voluntary Youth Reference Group, and so have featured 5 other peer leaders to gain their perspective on how to maintain a healthy mental wellbeing during physical distancing. The second guest is an ex-tradie in his 30's who will share his personal story about his change in life trajectory. Matthew's (@mattnunan) passionate call to assist others who have experience addiction is profound, and was a pleasure to interview.

Today's episode will cover a summary of Aleeza Ben Shalom's new book: "Virtual Dating: Your Guide to a Relationship in a socially distanced world". To follow her- Instagram: @marriagemindedmentor for more information.

Today I speak with Dr Tom Brunzell who I met at a professional development workshop. He speaks candidly about his involvement with Berry Street, and how the current climate has played a toll on young people today. To support their cause, you can donate @ www.berrystreet.org.au
