I’m Fine with Seryn

On this episode of I'm Fine with Seryn, I speak to some of my previous guests in answering the question of how to support a mate that is struggling with life. Take a listen for some practical tips and tricks if a mate says they are thinking about suicide.

I was lucky enough to speak with a dear friend of mine Benny Boynton, we share a birthday, and we share many laughs during this episode. Benny talks about a rough 18 months after a motorbike accident and finding a new normal through this time.

This week I speak with successful family lawyer, Joshua Anderson. Josh tells his story of witnessing a traumatic event, suppressing the feelings from that event, and seven years later it coming back to haunt him. Would it remain a destructive memory, or would Josh use the experience to inspire his work and be a fierce advocate for his clients?

And, how Josh's legacy lives on through the charity, I Got You.
