In the aftermath of this year’s International Women’s Day, we sat down with Mettle cofounder, Bronwyn Bate, the domestic violence charity whose ethical gifts give back, based in Perth. Their social enterprise employs women who have experienced homelessness as a result of domestic and family violence.

We wanted to spark some conversation that is great to have in the lead up and during this day each year, but like many other issues, these are conversations that need to be had daily. And when we chatted to Bronwyn in the lead up to this interview, we were shocked by the figures and statistics she stated around the issue.

In this episode we interviewed Hugh Miles. Hugh is an adventurer that was unfortunate enough to have been a victim of the 'king hit' aka 'the cowards punch'. The attack had long lasting effects on Hughs mental health. Luckily, Hugh survived this attack and battled through this time in his life to create the amazing not for profit 'book to make you smile' - Pocket Smiles.

All sales of PocketSmiles are donated to the Black Dog Institute to support mental health education and awareness programs. Hughs story is a great one of how mental health can affect us in different ways and how we can change the world for the better by bringing awareness to the topic.

Lovemore N'dou is a three time world world boxing champion at the welterweight division, sparring partner of Floyd Mayweather Jnr, Lawyer, Business Owner, Author, and an academic (seven degrees!) and aspirations to becoming prime minister of South Africa.

In this episode, Lovemore explains how he went from growing up during the South African apartheid, watched his friend die in his arms as a teenager, was arrested for simply talking to a white girl as a supermarket, as well as overcoming other many racial and criminal injustices to becoming an elite athlete and successful lawyer. What a man.

This week's episode is with the hugely popular Darragh Byrne aka ' The Conscious King'.

Darragh is a leading mindset coach who is renowned for the remarkable psychological transformations he's made with his clients. Helping them live a happier, more fulfilled life simply by changing the way they think.

Darragh gives us some insight about his upbringing in Ireland, how his life drastically changed from 'living for the weekend' to living for the moment.

This week's episode we talk about 'anxious about being anxious' with the fascinating and chilled out integrative healer Chev Kelly.

Chev is quite literally changing lives through her amazing work with people struggling with mental health and as you'll learn she has a wide range of skill sets through her studies and experience in the health and wellness space.

Her area of expertise is trauma, and the link to past and family trauma, to our current behavioural traits but most importantly, how you can change them.
