On 10th April 2023, The Burnt Chef Founder, Kris Hall joined Ambassador Jim Taylor in a 'fire side' chat about recruitment, mental health and retention at the Restaurants Canada Show.

Enjoy this extra special episode, recorded live from the show.

We've dug back into the archives to play a previously unreleased episode from covid times.

Kris had an eye opening conversation with the Founder of Beder, Razzak Mirjan.

This week Kris is joined by Anita Guru.

Kris first met Anita on this podcast, and have both since been judges for the This Can Happen global awards, which is a mental health awards initiative designed to recognise those who are doing fantastic things in the field of mental health and well-being.

This conversation was a learning curve for Kris, as Anita discusses her studies in Psychology. She is also a passionate advocate for eradicating mental health stigma, and raising awareness for mental health, mental illness and accessing support. Anita talks openly about her experience of being an inpatient, and experiencing complex PTSD, and how this has impacted her, and how she has recovered. Anita touches on her experiences of grief, infertility and trauma which led to the deterioration of her mental health.

Since this podcast, Anita has joined The Burnt Chef Project as a Mental Health Trainer, and continues to support others on their journey.

Thank you Anita for sparking a conversation that will hopefully support others through their own experiences, or those hoping to expand their knowledge.
