Episode notes

Trigger Warning - Suicide Is Spoke Of In This Episode.

This might be the most moving episode and open conversation we have ever had on this show. Lauren McDonough shares her story of battling with mental illness and her attempt at suicide which she was incredibly lucky to escape. Her outlook on the mental health system in Australia was incredibly insightful as she talks through a taboo topic which this episode tries to normalise as suicide has touched many in society one way or another. We breakdown the difference between working through mental health and the difference with people living with mental illness.

This episode was one of the hardest but most valuable interviews I have ever conducted on this platform and understandably this may not be a conversation for everyone but if you do know anyone out there that needs to hear this do share it on. We hope you can gain something out of this just like I did.
