Jas Rawlinson is an Australian mental health empowerment speaker, book writing mentor, and best-selling author of the internationally renowned book series “Reasons to Live One More Day, Every Day”. As a survivor of family violence and sexual assault, Jas understands deeply the barriers that often hold people back from living life to the fullest, and is passionate about empowering others to use their past adversities as stepping stones to a brighter future. In 2016, inspired by her own background with family violence, she co-founded Brisbane's first permanent memorial for domestic violence victims and their families. Highly regarded for her sensitivity when reporting on taboo topics, Jas is often requested to speak on social justice issues such as suicide prevention, mental wellbeing, domestic violence, and human trafficking. Endorsed by high-profile names including Kevin Hines, Professor Patrick McGorry, and Royal Flying Doctors QLD, she has been featured across various media such as ABC News, Authority Magazine, Non-Fiction Authors Association, NZ Herald, and News.com.au.
In this episode Jas and Luke talk about her personal journey of rising from a suicidal teen victim of family violence, to a bestselling author, mental health speaker, mum and wife, how she thrives as a highly sensitive and anxious person, as well as how she overcame PTSD, how to goal set and self-care despite struggling with anxiety (including the power of gratitude journaling and 'brain dumping') and powerful stories of triumph over adversity from her book series 'Reasons to Live' (featuring global influencers like L-FRESH The LION and Kevin Hines, as well as everyday Aussies).
