I love the Luke Hand Diaries.
The honesty Luke shows in this podcast is very brave and valuable.
Vulnerability, openness and confidence in alternative interests is not typically demonstrated by men, particularly in regional Australia obsessed with sports and booze where showing an interest in dressmaking or reading can be dangerous.
Luke is a champion of mental health, showing us that even though you may have a tough day and feel down there are still reasons to be grateful, no matter how insignificant.
I also love that he gives back to his community through volunteering and rejoices in the connections and interactions this brings about.
Luke, although you may not have the life you envisaged, you are still making a difference with your words and actions.
Many thanks,
‘Redacted.’
