Move Your Mind with Nick Bracks

This is the 15th episode of the Brick by Brick series. This series was launched due to the positive reaction to the construction series and is proudly sponsored by Lendlease. We will be interviewing a range of people from the industry and will be discussing a range of topics such as the state of mental health in the industry.

Australia loses one construction worker every two days to suicide & more than 20% of the construction industry are shown to have had a mental health condition. These figures are made even more compelling as it is an industry that employs 10% of the working population. We feel this podcast will play an important role in creating conversations and awareness. 

Our goal is to change the construction industry, one conversation at time.

A huge thank you to our sponsor Lendlease for all of the work they are doing in mental health. They have a holistic approach to health & wellbeing, and continue to grow their focus around mental health. They know that employees are likely to experience higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression if they work in the construction sector. In Australia, construction workers are six times more likely to die by suicide than a workplace incident.  

Looking after the physical and mental health of our people is a significant part of the Lendlease culture. In support of this, Lendlease introduced wellbeing leave in 2015 – giving all employees one day every four months to attend to health & wellbeing related needs.

“You can’t find what you are looking for, by searching for it. What you seek cannot be found. Peace is unfounded. Grounded in letting go. The flow, falling softly like snow. What does it taste like? Now use your imagination. You can create anything you want. That moment in time. It cannot be unfounded.”

This is a quote from my next guest, Shaun Randall. I really loved this chat and connected with Shaun on many levels. He is authentic and has followed his own path by practicing the art of listening to his deepest self. Shaun's story really encompasses one of my favourite quotes 'Life only makes sense backwards, but must be lived forwards'...I felt this was a fitting name for the episode.

Shaun Randall, is the author of Words Like Wine, A Peace of My Mind, Letters From Lima, and THE MANIFESTATION METHOD. His metaphysical poetry and novels take readers on a journey inside worlds they never knew existed to uncover truth and discover themselves all over again.

This was one of my favourite Move Your Mind interviews and was a long time in the making!

It was so great to sit in person with Brock in Vancouver and learn about the many journeys he has been on in his 75 years of life. His enthusiasm and mindset is infections and rubs off on everyone he meets. I really took so much out of this interview and am sure you will too!

...

Brock grew up in Vancouver, Canada. His story began as the first person to bicycle around North America (1970, 10,000 miles / 16,000 km) on a journey of self discovery and reflection.

He later completed 2 more epic bicycle rides to raise awareness for a KINDER world… in 2000 (Cycling for Kindness), 18,000 Km & in 2009 (Cycle it Forward), 12,000 Km. Brock is an inspirational speaker the author of 9 books including the ‘Reflections’ series which sold over 100,000 copies. His newest book “The Great Gift…for someone special” has received widespread acclaim.

Some other of his proudest accomplishments include being the founder of the ‘World Kindness Concert’, Co-founder ‘Kindness Rocks’ (Concert in schools to prevent bullying), Founder of ‘One-of-a-Kind Stories’, ‘Clam Chowder for the Soul’, Porridge for the Soul” & Monday Night Music at the Beach (performers sharing music from the heart). His passion is for stories of people who have overcome tough challenges & artists with a positive message.

...

Brock has a documentary coming out on February 26th at the Cinematheque Theatre in Vancouver, so make sure to book a ticket via his website!

We've all got a story, and although different, we're actually more alike than we give ourselves credit for. Most (if not all) of us have experienced pain. Most of us have had some form of trauma in our lives. Most of us have had to overcome something that felt impossible to navigate.

Feeling seen and (un) heard for most of her life, Patricia courageously shares how she was able to navigate a life of mental abandonment, abuse and trauma, and ultimately, find her power and worth within in order to create a new story. She shares her deepest secrets, pitfalls, and triumphs along the way in hopes of inspiring her readers to choose themselves, and realize that they, too, can have it all.

Life took an interesting twist for Ryan in 2014. After the breakdown of a marriage, financial problems and a lifetime of not having the tools to handle negative emotions, he found himself in the depths of drug addiction.He was in a very dark place, using Ice & GHB everyday and running into trouble with the law. However, he was not only able to crawl out of that black hole, but was to become the most peaceful & happy he had ever been. This led him to completely immerse himself in how people end up in emotional pain and how it’s possible for anyone to be free from it.This led him to opening The Centre for Healing (Formerly The Melbourne Centre of Healing), to help people who have found themselves in the pain he once was. He has successfully helped many people in getting past their Addictions & Mental Health issues through his experience, understanding and knowledge.
