What makes a person so desperate in this life they no longer want to be here?
What happens if that person survives an attempt on their life?
Is it possible for them to recover and have a full, happy and positive future?
I recently caught up with Anthony Hart who has the answers to these questions and more.
Anthony's story is one of hope and courage, dignity and strength and of course love.
I hope you enjoy listening to Anthony.
If you're struggling, reach out before its too late.

Hannah Baxter and her children’s passing has affected all of us deeply.

That something so terrible can happen in our beautiful country, in our quiet suburban streets is something that I’m sure we are all having trouble coming to terms with.

What though, of those who have walked before Hannah, in similar circumstances, but have survived the horror?

Joy Leach (not her real name), is one such woman. Joy sat with me towards the end of last year to tell her courageous story of domestic violence. We thought it timely to share this with you now.

Joy told me, that hearing Hannah’s family speak, felt a little like they could have been speaking for her, for her life, not so very long ago. She wonders how many other women out there are like Hannah and herself, who hope and pray things will get better.

Thankfully Joy has lived to see a kind world. An anonymous person, recognising the effect this tragedy would have on Joy, sent her a beautiful bunch of flowers. The note simply read, ‘I know what you went through, stay strong’. If you were that person, know how loved you made Joy feel.

Let's all work together to break the chain of domestic violence. It’s time to step up and speak out.

This interview was recorded after the second annual Dolly's Day. 

The Everett family experienced the unimaginable in 2018 when their youngest daughter Dolly took her own life following an extended period of bullying and cyber-bullying. ⁣
⁣
Tick, Kate, and Meg work tirelessly to prevent other families from experiencing the same thing. When I last sat down with Kate Everett in February last year, the family had just arrived home after winning Australia’s Local Hero Award in Canberra for their initiative in creating Dolly’s Dream. They were also looking forward to their very first ‘Do it for Dolly Day’ with the intention of creating awareness and spreading kindness right across Australia.⁣
⁣
Since then, Dolly’s Dream has gone from strength to strength and Tick, Kate and Meg remain stoic in their quest to create a kinder world in memory of their beautiful Dolly.⁣
⁣
I hope you enjoy my interview with Kate today. I am so grateful for her taking the time to speak with me.

*Interview May 2019* 

In this episode we speak with Kate who, along with her husband Tick, are the driving force behind Dolly's Dream.

Kate is a truly remarkable woman who has turned a mother’s loss into a positive movement for change.

Dolly’s Dream was instigated to honour their daughter Dolly and to continue a nationwide conversation about the devastating effects of bullying.

Dolly’s legacy, through her parents and sister Meg, is to create a happier life for our children.

By educating the devastating effects bullying has on our kids, Dolly’s Dream’s illustrates ways to empower individuals experiencing bullying and also aims to deter bullying in the first place.

Stay tuned for a more recent interview from Kate following the second annual "Dolly's Day"
