I knew Kerrie has a big life story but to be honest the details of her youth addictions and adversity blew me away. As everyone who survived and grew through pain and suffering Kerrie wouldn't change her life, why? She gets to work with youth educating them about prevention and connecting parents back to their kids, on the top of that her project Stories of Hope is growing rapidly. Kerrie changes lives every day by connecting people to their consciousness and holds safe space where her guests feel comfortable to share their stories of hope without being judged. We all know how comforting and powerful is to be around someone who understands our pain. This interview has so many layers and we've covered a lot. From Kerrie's childhood , addictions, rape, abusive relationship, anxiety to compassion and healing the shame and guilt. I have massive respect for people who are not afraid to open up and be vulnerable for others to learn from their journey, Kerrie it's been such a privilege to have you on the show and listening to your story of hope. You rock!

To celebrate PBD awareness week we've recorded this slightly interrupted interview with Natalie from Canberra who has experienced the taste of PBD when her husband got diagnosed. Natalie describes in detail the symptoms and treatment for anyone out there who may be still confused about their mental condition, and as she said the most important thing is the get diagnosed in the first place to understand the extend this mental condition has on everyone involved. We've covered the reluctancy of health professionals and the stigmas BPD brings along. For something that has such a high success rate there is still not enough awareness and help in each state and Natalie actively supports and educates community to be more kinder and understanding. I promise you'll be touched just like me, if you suspect your friend or relative is suffering from BPD there is wonderful loving community out there to support everyone so don't be shy and reach out.

I had the honour to chat to amazing Brooke Saxby about her journey back to health which grew from one red face on January 1st after 6 am gym session into 365 red faces project to keep herself accountable for rest of the year. Brook not inly just lost 50 kg but created Red Face community for people to come and join in for exercise on a weekly basis. This got attention of a local council, magazines, national TV and Brooke hasn't stopped since to inspire, educate and support those who need the extra push and love most - the heavily overweight people who are considering surgery and need that extra help. Red Faces are for everyone who wants to challenge themselves and adopt a healthy mindset for life, at any age or any size you can get your red face on! As for Brooke she keeps going with hers every day, but not to make this about weight loss, Brooke inspires people to be their best, accountable and live smart. I hope you'll enjoy this rocking guest!
