Working on our mental health is a constant journey, something that we have to invest into each and everyday, to become the best version of ourselves, and be better equipped to take on whatever life throws at us.

\\n

\\n

On Episode 18, I spoke with Matt Runnalls, Founder and CEO of the non-profit mental health foundation Mindfull Aus. 

\\n

\\n

Matt shares his own lived experiences on losing 8 mates to suicide, living with mental illness, being a survivor of suicide attempts, to now being the CEO of Mindfull Aus and using his own trauma to help others by sharing his story, creating awareness, providing education and tools to help others who may be struggling, as well as building resilience to take on the ongoing challenges life throws at us. 

\\n

\\n

Matt is a motivational and guest speaker, having travelled around Australia and the world sharing his messages of Love, Belonging, Connection and Purpose.

\\n

\\n

Matt is also a mental health and suicide prevention advocate, working tirelessly with young children to build programs to help better education and build emotional resilience for our next generation. He also does a lot of work within remote and rural areas of Australia, areas where suicide rates are far higher, in an effort to reduce those numbers, saving lives through education, acceptance, and sharing his lived experiences.

\\n

\\n

Loved chatting with Matt. He's such a genuine person and wants to simply be the teacher to others that he never had on this topic. Changing lives one conversation at a time. 

\\n

\\n

Hope you enjoy the episode guys and it bring you with value - much love!
