🎧 Earlier this year, I was blessed to interview Kevin Hines for my newest volume of ‘Reasons to Live: One More Day, Every Day’ If you've already checked out my new book, you'll be able to read a snippet of this interview, however, I also wanted to release the raw audio file as there was so much great content that I think would really be of interest to those passionate about mental wellness . . 🎧 In this episode, we discuss: . . 🔹 How Kevin positively manages his bipolar, and why he doesn't see it as something to 'suffer' from . . 🔹 Why Kevin admitted himself into psychiatric care earlier this year & how he had skyrocketed into such severe mania, that he - at times - couldn't even recognise his wife . . 🔹 How caregivers can better care for their own mental health while looking after their loved ones (like Kevin's wife Margaret) . . 🔹 His thoughts on lived-experience organisations who censor survivors voices . . 🔹 And whether there's any validity to the idea that talking about suicide increases suicidality . . 🎧 Full interview in my bio link ❤️

📕 From a newly published author (and insomniac first-time Mum) who had no idea if her ‘idea’ would work... . . 📗 ... to a now twice published author and writing coach who has held events around Australia, spoken in Parliament House and at major summits, been featured on international podcasts and media outlets, and just hit amazons #1 bestseller list in 2 categories (including beating Robin Williams’ biography!!! 😱) . . 🙏 As someone who struggles to feel like I’m ever doing or achieving ‘enough,’ it’s not until I look back at old journal entries, Facebook posts, or photos, that I realise how far I’ve come . . 📝 It’s also why journaling and spreadsheeting my ‘wins’ is essential for me. Otherwise I tend to tip toe back toward my childhood trauma mindset of fear of failure... . . 🤔 I’m keen to know - does anyone have any cool tips on managing failure mindset? What do you do for yourself to try and stay away from limiting self-beliefs, and instead stay in the moment and focus on your achievements? . . 🙌🏻 Super keen to hear all your hacks and strategies 🙏💙🌟
