Amber Castle - Tales of adventure and living an out of the box life
Drag queen performer. Reality TV star. Disney Tour Guide. Actress. Monkey handler. Children's suit character performer. When it comes to describing Amber Castle's career, it's hard to sum up everything she's achieved and experienced. But one thing is clear - Amber isn't one to let life pass her by. But with everything she's achieved, it may surprise you to know that Amber's life wasn't always carefree and content. In fact, in her teens she experienced a severe trauma, when her older brother died suddenly, and not long after, found herself in a downward spiral. In this chat, Amber shares about: •How she ended up in a mental health facility, and how a chance encounter with another patient changed the course of her life forever •Why she decided to live her life chasing adventure, instead of settling for a stable 9-5 job •Funny stories of travel, working with animals, and touring around the world •How she's coping during the current pandemic •And her advice to others who want to begin chasing a little more adventure and spontanaeity in their lives You can find out more about Amber by following her on Facebook (Amber Castle), or on Instagram @monkeyingaround72.

Kevin Hines on Living with Bipolar Disorder: "I've never suffered a day in my life"
Hey all! As many of you know, earlier this year I was very blessed to be given the opportunity to interview Kevin Hines (international suicide prevention speaker and award-winning filmmaker) for the 2nd volume of my book series, 'Reasons to Live: One More Day, Every Day.' If you've already checked out my new book, you'll be able to read a snippet of this interview in the book, however, I also wanted to release the raw audio file as there was so much great content that I think would really be of interest to those passionate about mental wellness. Although this recording is unfortunately not to the quality of most of my podcasts (due to some tech difficulties that came on the day with a last-minute location change), there are still plenty of fascinating discussions throughout this episode that are worth listening to. So I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes listen into our published interview! In this episode, we discuss: •How Kevin positively manages his bipolar, and why he doesn't see it as something to 'suffer' from •Why Kevin admitted himself into psychiatric care earlier this year & how he had skyrocketed into such severe mania, that he - at times - couldn't even recognise his wife •How caregivers can better care for their own mental health while looking after their loved ones (like Kevin's wife Margaret) •His thoughts on lived-experience organisations who censor survivors voices •And whether there's any validity to the idea that talking about suicide increases suicidality To find out more about Kevin and Margaret Hines' life-saving work, head to: http://www.kevinhinesstory.com/ Purchase a copy of 'Suicide the Ripple Effect' at: http://www.kevinhinesstory.com/suicide-the-ripple-effect

Surviving & Thriving After The Sex Industry - Part 2 w/ Genevieve Gilbert
When Genevieve Gilbert came to Australia to study, she pictured a life of education, and exciting opportunities... Instead, she found herself buried in student debt, and barely able to afford food, let alone her mounting bills. With the rising pressure of finding a job, Genevieve entered the sex industry in a bid to survive. Her plan was to stay a few weeks, pay her bills, and then leave. 8 years later, she was still there, and barely clinging on to her mental health and will to live. In part two of this insightful chat, Genevieve shares about how she finally exited prostitution, after many attempts during her 7 years in the industry, as well as how she went on to become the CEO of Pink Cross Australia (a NFP organisation which assists Australians within the sex industry, to find alternative employment). Note: Whilst not every person within the sex industry will face abuse or mental health issues, research over the past several decades has shown clearly that the majority of those within prostitution want immediate assistance with exiting. I believe Genevieve's voice deserves to be heard. (Please accept my apologies for the lower audio quality in this episode - it was filmed away from my usual location in 2018.).
