The Story Shared: Darius Boyd shared his journey from being one of the best Rugby League players in the world to being admitted into a mental health facility. Darius opens up about his mental struggle during a time when seemingly on the surface everything looked perfect. He spoke about the courage it took to put his hand up and admit that he needed help in an environment that stigmatised mental well-being. About Darius Boyd: Broncos, Dragons, Knights, Maroons, Australia ... Darius Boyd is an NRL champion. This raw, honest and inspiring episode takes us into the heart of his footy and private life and reveals his fight to conquer his demons and live a better life. Listing statistics, awards and premierships doesn't reveal the battles that Darius Boyd has faced off the field. A teenager with a troubled background, he started his career with innate footy talent but also the emotional baggage of an unknown father, the devastating loss of loved ones, and a mother who was walking a mental health tightrope herself, which as a kid he didn't understand. As his talent shone on the field and his profile increased, Darius struggled. Hiding years of depression and unhappiness, playing footy was his escape. But no one can run from themselves forever. The horrific spinal injury to good mate and Newcastle Knights teammate Alex McKinnon was the catalyst that finally broke Darius. Realising he needed help for his anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts, he turned his back on football, checked into a mental health facility and began to mend his life and himself.  Career Highlights: → 28 State of Origin games for Queensland. → 23 games for Australia. → Clive Churchill winner in the 2010 NRL Premiership. Expertise: → Improving mental health in Athletes.   → Professional Rugby League Coach. → Resilience training for youth.     For more on Darius Boyd read his book – Battling the Blues.   Follow me on Instagram and  YouTube.

I interview Alex McKinnon on his time growing up, his footy career and his life since getting injured.

Our guest for today believes that focusing more on things you are grateful for will help you tackle many obstacles with courage and commitment. Alex Mckinnon is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer whose career was cut short by a spinal injury during a 2014 National Rugby League Premiership match against Melbourne. In this episode, Alex talks about how he started playing rugby, the benefits of going to boarding school for boys, the imposter syndrome, and the benefits of sitting back and cherishing the moment and our achievements and not always chasing the next level. He also shares some insights on how a football injury changed his life forever, the different ways you can find gratitude in your life, and the dangers of labeling yourself with something.Alex reminds us that gratitude is not just a nice sentiment. It can produce real and lasting results in your life. When we are grateful, we feel more positive emotions, leading to increased happiness, optimism, and healthier relationships. Gratitude also strengthens our immune system, helps us sleep better, improves our self-esteem, and allows us to live longer.Topics we cover and where to find them:[00:00] Intro[05:18] Alex MacKinnon's background information[08:08] How Alex started playing rugby[10:46] The benefits of going through a boarding school for boys[15:10] How boarding school can sharpen your career[17:45] The imposter syndrome[25:58] Sitting back and cherishing the moment[33:20] The injury that Alex got in 2014[42:06] How the injury changed his life[48:46] The most challenging part of Alex's journey & rock bottom[52:35] Finding gratitude in your life[58:23] The dangers of labeling yourself with something[01:01:54] The most amazing thing in Alex's lifeLike this show?

When Kirat Assi met a man named Bobby online, her life changed forever. Their long-distance love story was a slow burn, lasting for ten years. They texted and called every day, sharing dreams of starting a life together. In all that time Kirat and Bobby never met in person. Kirat then learned that Bobby wasn't real – and she was the victim of an elaborate catfishing scam. If that setup has you hooked, you'll understand why so many people are obsessed with the podcast Sweet Bobby. This week Leah welcomes the host, investigative journalist Alexi Mostrous, for a spoiler-free interview you won't want to miss. Leah also talks to the creator of a new CBC podcast all about exploring grief and memory. Alex McKinnon's brother Paul was killed thirty years ago by a speeding police car, at only fourteen years old. As time went on, Alex's memories of Paul became hazy and then went away. In his podcast Sorry About the Kid, he explores his childhood grief and tries to get those memories back. Featuring: Sweet Bobby, Sorry About The Kid, Sharing Space with Dr. Roberta Bondar
