I was interviewed by Sasskia Brown from the Your Bittersweet Darling podcast.

In this podcast I open up about growing up in housing commission in Newcastle, the impact of my father’s 16½-year prison sentence and my own experiences in youth detention and men’s maximum-security facilities—where I survived institutional abuse and learned the harsh rules of the criminal justice system.

We trace the pivotal moments that led me from roaming high-risk streets and riding with an outlaw motorcycle club to a life dedicated to supporting survivors of institutional child abuse. Along the way, I shares the raw realities of self-medication, drug use behind bars and the hard lessons I learned as a nominee and member of an organised gang.

You’ll hear how a father’s parole conditions forced a crossroads that ultimately inspired me to step away from crime, rebuild my identity and embrace a mission far greater than myself.

Discover how “About Time for Justice,” founded with compensation from my own abuse claims, now offers expert guidance to survivors across Australia—connecting people with legal support, mental-health practitioners and pathways to healing.

Learn about Rainbow Respite, an NDIS business that delivers culturally sensitive support work and coordination for criminal-justice-affected participants, from transport to parole to day-to-day living.

Beyond my advocacy, I’ll reveals the simple yet powerful daily rituals that keep me grounded: a five-point “power list” of non-negotiable wins, marathon training for charity and unwavering devotion to family—especially my mother, who lives with a rare neurological disability.

You’ll hear about the Knockaround Boys collective, weekly TikTok livestreams on recovery and community, and why content creation has become one of my greatest joys.

Whether you’ve faced your own battles with trauma, are curious about life inside prison walls or seek inspiration for forging a new path, this conversation offers hard-won wisdom and hope. Tune in as Sasskia Brown asks questions that explore adversity into advocacy and shows us all how it truly is about time for justice.
