    Mental health and wellness for Young adults

    Mental health and wellness for Young adults

    TRIGGER WARNING - TOPICS DISCUSSED IS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE

    On this weeks episode I am hounoured to have Lachlan O'Donoghue from @20_talk as my guest, Lachlan is the co-founder of a Perth mental health charity, @20_talk. 
    The charity was born in 2017 after his friendship group lost two close mates to suicice within 2 months. 20Talk aims to be a well-being platform for young adults to engage in mental health and wellbeing education in a way that makes sense to them. Lachlan manages the training arm of the charity.
    This topic today is close to my heart through our own personal journey with our daughter, through her own mental health battle's during high school and at times being suicidal.  We are wanting to share our story, so if someone who listen's may know, a sister, brother, cousin, friend or family member who is struggling, that you are not alone and there is so much support out there.
    I wanted to share Lachlan to my listeners, as mental health and suicide is often always a difficult topic to discuss, but in this current day and age the suicide rate is increasing at a rapid rate, and to be able to create awareness around prevention and support rather than the devastation of a loss is incredibly important.
    20_talk's purpose is to meet young people where they are at, offer an ear and where applicable challenge them to grow.

    What is Conscious, Connected Parenting?

    What is Conscious, Connected Parenting?

    On this weeks episode I am super excited to share with you Emily from @consciousmothersgroup we have an awesome discusion about my other passion in life, conscious, connected parenting!  
    It is such an incredible method to understand our triggers as parents and how the way we were raised, directly effects the way we parent. 
    My gorgeous guest Emily is a mama of three to two boys and a girl, with a passion for conscious, gentle and respectful parenting.
    She is a qualifed early childhood educator, but has stepped away from the system and moved towards a conscious, natural and un-schooling approach to education which led to the co- creation of We Are Nature Network. 
    Emily loves working with families who are ready to embrace a conscious parenting style and break the parenting cycle!
