Welcome to the last episode of Straight to The Sauce for 2023. I am really happy I got to sit down and chat with such an awesome person for this one!
Jack Symes lives in regional Victoria and has lived a few lives in his short 28 years. He has served in the Australian Defence Force, won a couple of footy grand finals, ran 100km's to raise money for Mindfull Aus and along the way he has dealt with his own mental health struggles as well experienced the loss of his best mate from suicide.
Jack talks openly about all of this, he really leads by example in this space, and I am so grateful he gave up some of this time in his busy schedule to come on the pod.
Now I understand that talking about suicide and mental health can be confronting for some, and if you need to talk about it then please reach out to the relevant support lines in Australia such as Lifeline.
However, Jack and I believe it is extremely important that we have these difficult conversations with those around us so that we can be the change we want to see in society. We have to start talking. We must start talking.
I hope you all enjoy this episode and can take something away from it. All I ask is that you please share this episode to your socials, tag Mindfull Aus as well, so that we can spread the word and begin to help one another.
Please also give Mindfull Aus a follow on the socials, their insta handle is linked below!
Have a great New Years everyone, check in on your mates and loved ones, have fun but most importantly, be safe.
Catchya in 2024!
Cheers,
Sauce xx
