The Elliott Ranson podcast

In 2004 I lost my biological father to suicide. He kept a lot of what he was going through bottled up inside. Never spoke to anyone. It came to a point where things got too much for him and the easiest thing, for him to do, was take his own life. So mental health is a very important subject for my family and I.

In this episode of the podcast I talk to Luke Richards. Husband, father to 2 boys, ultra marathon swimmer and speaker about his journey from battling addiction/depression and the dark thoughts going through his head at the time to how he started reaching out for help and the support he received to getting to a better place in his life.

He is very open and honest about his journey and uses his story to get the message out there. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

If you are finding life hard to deal with there is always support there for you. Luke mentioned Beyond Blue. Their website is beyondblue.org.au or contact them on 1300 22 4636.

You can follow Luke and his journey on Facebook www.facebook.com/Swim4Recovery/

See you on the next episode!

This is part 2 of an interview I did with Joel Walsh. In this part we discuss mental health.

We both share our experiences when it comes to the topic, some of the challenges facing people when it comes to speaking out, what we need to do to create normality around the subject, why now with what we are going through we need to be more aware of it and why eliminating judgement needs to be a priority.

If your feeling like things are getting to much for you, help is always there.

This is audio from my second ever interview with Cat. It is so relevant now given the current situation the word finds itself in.

Cat's attitude in this short snippet of audio from our chat demonstrates how amazing and inspiring this women is. It doesn't matter what life throws at her, she will never use it as an excuse. And she isn't starting now given the current state of the world at the moment.

Would really love if you could follow her on Facebook and support what she is doing. She is well worth the follow

Spoke with Joe Vea on my podcast recently. Joe is a local from mt Druitt, in western Sydney and in this episode he shares his journey to where he is now. Joe is just like all of us, wanting to live life on our terms. So we discuss how he has gone about it. The ups and the downs. His life up until this point.

He isn't where he wants to be but he is doing all he can to get there. And I believe if you do want to live life on your terms, then hard work and a bit of heartache is expected. As you will hear Joe has experienced both along the way.
