This week on Bread and Better, Tegan sits down with Alex’s husband Kev, for a candid conversation about supporting a partner with a mental illness. Kev shares the things he has learnt in their 16-year relationship and how he helped Alex navigate her bipolar diagnosis. 

Content Warning: We would like to issue a content warning for this episode as it addresses sensitive topics related to mental health issues and suicide. 

Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to discuss not only the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.
