Speaking out and sharing that

“it was the worst, I freaked out,”

and post-show life allowed him to realise he didn’t actually “want” any of the aspects that came alongside fame.

'I needed to give up. I needed to realise people liked me for me being me' with Damien Bodie

This episode's guest began his journey into a world of make believe at young age, working in film and tv on an array of children series, and with over two decades of evolution his credits including series such as winners and losers, neighbours, and Elephant Princess.

This episode's guest began his journey into a world of make believe at young age, working in film and tv on an array of children series, and with over two decades of evolution his credits including series such as winners and losers, neighbours, and Elephant Princess. A life time of positivity and optimism hit a sharpe resistance of polar opposite perspective and almost lost him all that he had ever known to be. But like the caterpillar. Re-emerging to find a true state of possibility and happiness. Which leads him to his greatest role yet, as a soon to be father. We welcome Australian Actor Damien Bodie.

This was such an in-depth, almost 2 hour chat as Founder; Glenn and Damien get deep and real. We hear of an amazing career in the lime light, and how self-doubt crept in which nearly lost Damien everything. We discuss the fear of failure yet the fear of success and ultimately what it took for Damien to dig deep and realise what he needed to do in himself to take back control of his life to turn everything around. To find out more about Damien, simply head to his socials at @damienbodie or IMDB at: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0090926/

I have jumped onto the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign run by the very talented Glenn Marsden.

It is work like this that will chisel away at the stigmas build up around mental health especially within men. His unforgiving images cast a light over an important darkness in men that needs to be seen.

Being raised in an Australian masculine culture your often told “you’ll be right” and “don’t be a pussy”, iv felt myself and I’m sure its the same for a lot of other young men a sense of embarrassment for having a feeling that shows vulnerability.

The feeling is bad enough isn’t it? Let alone a sense of shame for having it on top of it.

Thats why we need to break down this built up world of bravado and show everyone, being vulnerable and brave enough to voice it, is truly masculine in its own beautifully feminine way.

Growing up with the world of social media your shown so many perfectly illustrated lives or the other side of the coin, constant saddening truths.

Where is the middle ground? When have you seen a post of someone saying “oh I’m feeling a little anxious and sad for some reason today”?

I think its these everyday trepidations that build up on us.

This is why I think its so important to check in with yourself and others when feelings arise. It could take a simple word from a loved one that can turn us away from the thought. Better to be the self evolving fool that asks the question, then to sit within the thought for however long your willing to hold onto it. It’s absolutely fine to not be ok.. it’s all part of the ride. “I wanted to write down exactly what I felt, but somehow the paper remained empty..... .....and I could not have described it any better” - Tim Franklin
