➡️ Introducing Renay Casini who is a beautiful soul who reached out to me to ask to be interviewed on the Podcast.

She wanted to share what it’s like for her in the depths of a depressive state so people could see and feel how overwhelming and tiring it can be when you’re in this space. 😢

When you reach out to people and they’re unable to help you shift from the space you’re currently in, what do people do? 🤔

They turn to substances and other things to give them the relief they’re seeking to give them a break from the noise inside their head. 💯

Although the interview starts in this space, Renay has also provided some amazing tools that you can implement to prepare yourself and those around you if you find yourself in this space again in the future. 💛

➡️ Introducing Peter Brown who is a father of two, has a beautiful partner who works in construction and he’s also an ambassador for “A Chance for Change”.

The only way I knew about mental health was because of a friend. 🙎‍♂️

I’m just a bloke, a mate who was helping him battle through his demons. I never realised what I was doing at the time. 🙅‍♂️

I was the annoying mate, who was calling and texting, doing the 1% that everyone wants and craves although they don’t realise it at the time. 💯

He went from the dark to the light. He beat it! 💙

From this experience I recognised some of the signs to be aware of. ✅

I eventually became an ambassador for “A Chance for Change”, so I could help other blokes. 🔥

The thing was, I didn’t recognise the signs as I started to walk down a dark pathway myself even though I knew what to look out for... 🤷‍♂️
