b"Welcome back to #yaysofourlives everyone, this one\\u2019s a bit of a cracker. In a Seize the Yay first, I didn\\u2019t write any notes to prepare for this episode OR edit any of it at all which is both terrifying and liberating as well a testament to what a great conversationalist our guest for the episode truly is.\\n\\nI\\u2019m joined by absolute legend Dr Kieran Kennedy, a medical doctor, psychiatrist and mental health advocate who first appeared on the show back in episode 92 (which I highly recommend you go and have a listen to for context). It is in fact the one year anniversary this week of our chat for last year\\u2019s Men's Health Week and I thought who better to join for a reunion to discuss THIS year\\u2019s Men's Health Week than Dr Kieran.\\n\\nKieran is a dedicated advocate for redefining societal ideas about masculinity, encouraging open conversations about mental health and wellbeing, and has been a shining light for many of us through the challenges of Victoria\\u2019s continued lockdowns. He also EXPERTLY weaves in amongst his technical scientific wisdom, a wicked sense of humour, passion for calf club which I\\u2019ll never let him live down and love for seizing his yay making this an absolute hoot.\\n\\nWe really only met properly during last year\\u2019s episode and haven\\u2019t known each other long but he\\u2019s one of those people you instantly trust and can have the most enjoyably tangential conversations with. I had also been filming for over 15 hours when we recorded this so please excuse my delirium - I usually don\\u2019t let that level of crazy out of the bag, but hopefully you get a few laughs out of it as well as some more serious, practical insights on managing your mental health.\\n\\nIf you feel you need support at any time, please contact Lifeline 13 11 14, Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 or your local mental health service (type your suburb followed by \\u2018mental health\\u2019).\\n\\n+ Follow Dr Kieran here\\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\\n+ Join our Facebook community here"
