External & Internal Validation with Brayden & Tom

Our first episode with just the 2 lads!
 
We discuss what is means to seek validation from external sources and how this can impact a person as it is easy, even additcitve to chase praise, acceptance & acknowledgement. 
 
Don't get me wrong, these kinds of validation do help to boost aspects like self-esteem in a positive way, but it becomes problematic when someone forgets the most important person, and essentially the only person that they need validation from, themselves.
 
Quick shoutout to the lads - Go see what we're up to:

Battling Anxiety, Depression & Insomnia with Tom Boyd

We were stoked to have the opportunity to talk to Tom Boyd, past AFL superstar, present mental health advocate for Headspace, Lifeline and his own endeavours.
 
There's some footy chat and banter of course, but the main part of the episode is where we talk about Tom battling Anxiety, Depression & Insomnia at a time in his life when he thought he was living the dream, but was actually dealing with something far worse.
 
We also cover how there is so much opportunity in the world around us outside of footy and how much purpose and fulfilment we can experience when we follow our passions.
