Boundaries are the guidelines you set when it comes to how you want to be treated in ALL relationships.

Relationships with your partner, relationships with your work colleagues, relationships with your family and relationships with your friends.

It's important you know how to set [and implement] them because they demonstrate to others what behaviours are acceptable verses behaviour that is not.

Controlling behaviour happens over time. It is a pattern of behaviour that a person uses to have power over another and is a major violation of trust.

Whilst not always obvious, controlling behaviours can be a sign of an abusive relationship.

If you or someone you know is experiencing some or all of these signs, please get help.

"Growing up you were never taught to be comfortable in admitting emotion"

"The noise in my head gets really loud"

"You feel like you're invisible"

How do we help the men in our lives embrace their emotions?

How do we silence our negative voices?

How do we help those who feel unseen?

*Trigger Warning* Today's episode openly discusses mental health, depression & suicide.

Did you know that one in five (20%) Australians aged 16-85 experience a mental illness in any year and that

54% of people with mental illness do not access any treatment?

Did you know that every day, at least six Australians die from suicide and a further thirty people will attempt to take their own life?

How do we change these statistics?

How do we open up the discussion around mental health?

How do we support those around us who need help with theirs?

Are we doing enough and more importantly, how do we do more?

In today's podcast Megan and Wilko dive deep into the topic and area of mental health/suicide, sharing their own personal experiences and tips/suggestions on how to support those who need it most.

When we think or talk about toxic behaviours we are so focused on those around us that we forget to turn that mirror on ourselves to address our own.

Today's podcast is all about identifying our own toxic behaviours and understanding how and why each of them contributes to pushing people further away from us/you.
