The Blog

Since I was a little kid I’ve always dreamed of being on TV. That was my ego wanting to jump on and to be “famous” but in the last 10 years with my role with mental health I’ve just wanted to spread my message wider to help more people. That’s why I applied and jumped...

Art is awesome! When I decided to go in to the mental health clinic, I told everyone I’d do everything and try everything that I possibly could- no excuses. Art was something I’ve never thought I was ‘good’ at. I hadn’t even done it since early primary school though...

Each day has its challenges. Today, I have had little to no energy to even think. Usually, it would frustrate me as I try to get tasks done but I just accepted it today and did what I could. I have had plenty of time to think and I wanted to share some tips which have...

That would be the understatement of the century so far. I was planning to give weekly, or at least fortnightly blogs whilst studying, and I was about to start taking practice clients for the therapy I have been studying. COVID-19 then hit, and quickly it looked like...

First off, a lot of what I learnt is common sense but, in our lives today- we don’t use enough of it. We try to make things as hard as possible, thinking better, longer, higher, faster, more and we take it all to the extreme. #1 thing for me was routine and it was my...

A key word in that magnified piece of writing. Feeling.... That’s exactly what anxiety is, a feeling. It’s a terrible feeling, but a feeling all the same. In my opinion we don’t respect it enough. Happiness, joy, excitement, amusement are just a few other feelings...

It’s been a while since I have posted on the website, but I have been working away at some big things. The first thing is a charity cricket match which will become an annual event. The game will feature 30 of the best local cricketers in the Eastern Suburbs of...

“I’ve spent the last 8 months eating chocolate, ice cream anddrinking beer” I sat there and just wanted to drive back home. It’d been a tough day, where I was on edge all day and had two panicattacks. I was sitting in the car park of the compound training facility...

It was 8am and the alarm clock went off. My stomach felt like there was a knot tied in it. My heart was racing, and there was a pain in my chest. I knew it was anxiety, but it didn’t stop the panic in me. Your head tells you what it is, but your body doesn’t allow a...

You may have read the other blogs as I discussed my plans to run from Melbourne to Adelaide. Unfortunately I’ve had to pull out due to some physical injuries I’ve had and am having. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to face as I felt guilt, shame,...

The second foundation I am raising money and awareness for is the Pancare Foundation which is a non-for-profit national organisation for Pancreatic cancer. This is in memory of Alicia’s dad who passed away a few years ago. 

Hearing Alicia speak about her dad over the...

The first organisation I want to raise $10,000 for is Outside The Locker Room. Melbourne 🏃‍♂️- Adelaide (Dec 26th) I’ve been following Jake and this foundation since very early on and I wanted to see it grow. I believe it’s something I could’ve used as I entered my...
