All the really hard things that I've gone through has led to positive change and positive impact.

When I was 17, I lost one of my really good friends to suicide.

That's what got me into mental health.

That's what got me to being an ambassador for Movember.

I'm really interested about this space.

Being medically retired from rugby league, also a really tough place.

But then that led me into studying psychology

and that led me to starting my mental health and sport podcasts that I absolutely love and adore

you know I get to work with professional NRL players who are now leaving the game yeah so the

advice I would give is just like it's hard when you're in it but there is going to be some good that comes out of it
