Strong Minds Club

TRIGGER WARNING: There is conversation around suicide, so please be mindful of this when listening to the following podcast episode. This episode we chat with Tully Smyth. The general public may know her from her time on Big Brother Australia, Social Media Influencer (@tee_smyth), or (among other things) as a host of #socialsquadpod for @MamamiaAus. We get to hear about what it was like growing up with a parent suffering from early onset dementia, her own lived experience with mental illness, social judgement and how she's handling her time in covid-19 isolation.

Cassandra Roberts - A social worker by day, meditation teacher by night (and weekends!), holistic counsellor and podcast host in her own right. In this episode we explore how mental health is far more than mental illness and Cassandra tells us about her social work pathway and what she has coming up on her own platform Wild Potential. Enjoy!

Find out more about Cassandra on Instagram @wild_potential_ or search her podcast called "Finding your wild potential".

In this episode Brock Cook - podcast and mental health advocate, chats to us about all things Occupational Therapy within the mental health field and how it may differ from different professions. He tells us about his journey from working in community mental health through to working in academia. He talks about some of the struggles he has come across in his field working within mental health and how that lead to burnout. Since recording this episode Brock has also launched another podcast with two other wonderful OT's called The OT Round Table - so be sure to check that out too!

In this episode we have our first guest of the season, Stephanie Georgiou - a passionate practicing Psychologist and board approved supervisor, up-and-coming author and brunch Queen. Steph tells us about her journey in becoming a Psychologist (and touches on her own lived experience), her broad mental health experience, her love of food and how she is bringing her love of psychology and food together. Steph also shares a special letter received from a client, which is amazing as practitioners we don't always get to know what a client outcome is. Lastly, you'll get to hear all about our Q & A segment that will count as bonus episodes! Find Steph on social media @mindfoodsteph or via themindfulhub.com.au
