TUESDAY SHED TALK

You get further ahead and feel closer to those around you when you open up. It’s not always rainbows and butterflies, but it can feel lighter to share what’s on your mind with people you trust.

There’s a community out there with Talk2MeBro. Not only are there opportunities for individuals to catch up, but there are also workshops for organisations to equip employees and give them the tools to support others! Reach out today.

TUESDAY SHED TALK

Reminder to check in on your people. A quick phone call on the way home or a message to ask “how are you?” could make the world of difference.

And after that, ask “how am I feeling?”. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Check out some resources Talk2MeBro has to offer on their website for mental health and self care support.

New year, new logo.

I wanted to make this year feel a bit more personal so I enlisted the help of the talented .fincher.tattoos to help me personalise the logo.

Holly added some more detail like:

• My signature headphones because you won’t see me walking without them
• My leg tattoos
• The two shadows walking beside me to represent those who we have lost to su***de and how they are always by our side.
• And finally the last touch for my mum, Michelle, who passed away in January - a heart on my shirt as I carry her with me always and into this next walk.

Stoked with how it turned out, thanks Holly! ❤️

What do you guys think of the new logo?
