We eventually ended up in New Zealand (Auckland is where I now call home) and I thought a career in the NZ Police was what I was cut out for.I wanted to make the world a better place.18 months into the job, a fellow constable was assaulted on the job and I went to multiple suicides where I had to inform their family members, all in a short amount of time. This was when I began to lose touch with myself, my emotions and everything I thought I'd gone into this job for. Instead of making the world a better place, I couldn't even understand my own world and what was happening to me.What developed was a burning desire to run away from everything and everyone I held close, burnt out with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. My mental state kept me barely existing and the job I had so desired and loved had literally made me sick. This was now going on seven years into the job. I realized I had to make a change and sought out the answers to get myself performing and living life on my terms again.Through the help and connection of a tribe, I quickly recognized how powerful it is to develop and truly understand yourself and who you indeed are under all the masks. Only then can you be effective and perform at a level where you are creating a fulfilling life at every turn. Through hours of coaching, science-based studying, personal development, and research not only on myself but with others, I now have a proven method to understand what happiness and health truly look like.Let me show you how peak performance comes through being a master of your physical and mental self. Create a life where you can help others, be a better leader, and be fulfilled no matter what your journey. Being prepared for what the future can throw at you physically and emotionally allows you to stay in the moment and enjoy every day to its fullest. Let me give you the knowledge and let's create that future of your dreams.Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. "The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." Former New Zealand television journalist Simon Walker, who was communications secretary to the Queen for three years, told Morning Report weeks of sadness can be expected across the UK and Commonwealth. "Liz Truss the new Prime Minister just described the Queen as the rock on which modern Britain was built, and I think there's quite a lot of truth in that. "If you think back to 1952 when she became Queen, so much has happened over that period, in this country and of course, so much in the Commonwealth and around the world, and she's been the one point of continuity throughout that period. "Britain's had 15 Prime Ministers, the United States has had 16 presidents over that period, and the one kind of constant figure has been the Queen."

Black Caps bowler Ajaz Patel has achieved an historic feat in Mumbai, where he took all 10 wickets in the first innings, and another four in the second innings in a test match against India.
