Welcome to another episode of Talkin' Toowoomba.

This week the tables are turned as Rachael Carter from Hope Horizons Wellness Centre steps into the host’s chair and puts Shane in the hot seat.

In a raw and honest conversation, Shane shares his personal prostate cancer journey — from diagnosis and surgery to facing radiation treatment — and opens up about the mental battle that comes with it. He speaks candidly about the power of community, the importance of not going it alone, and the life-changing support available right here in Toowoomba.

We also unpack the real impact of Hope Horizons’ allied health services, why local business support matters, and how the community can get involved — including the 10-year celebrations and the Sapphire Soirée.

It’s real, it’s heartfelt, and it’s a reminder that even when you get knocked down, you can get back up — especially with the right people beside you.

Listen now. Share it. And if you’re able, support a cause that’s making a genuine difference in our region.
