Hello beautiful people
On today’s podcast we have the passionate Troy Jones. 8 years ago Troy lost a good friend which sparked a pathway into depression and severe drug use stemming from the internalisation of his emotions, and the lack of awareness, at that point in time, of how to process them. He found himself in debt, ruining relationships and upon getting arrested experienced his darkest point. From here, he decided to turn his life around, became a personal trainer, he began to push himself physically and mentally, a form of psychological therapy and from this, he decided to, what he terms, deal with the demons inside, open up and learn more about mental health.
Fast forward to date, Troy recently ran 3931km across Australia, from Perth to Sydney in raising awareness for mental health and fundraising almost $65,000 for the organisation, Mindfull.
What I personally love about this podcast is Troy’s just complete transparency. He shares stories that most would find difficult to share, with no sense of shame, only empowerment and growth. This is certainly a piece of wisdom I hope for many people to take on, as I certainly believe, the more shame you feel about your behaviour, the more you will find yourself entertaining that very behaviour; trying to seek relief from your very own judgment. This podcast is a stigma free safe space, where we get real about mental health and Troy shares some strategies of what best helped him find his sense of purpose and direction.
If you like this podcast, I would love for you to rate, review, subscribe, share with friends and family, particularly those who may be experiencing some form of mental health challenge themselves, become part of the To Be Human Collective, and enjoy this conversation with the determined Troy Jones.
