I know first hand what it's like when the ones who should be backing you, avoid supporting you, because their egos feel threatened by your will to succeed!
One thing I love seeing is people who are putting in the hard work (day in & day out) winning!
Life's not about holding others back or dragging people down when they are trying to rise up and win! Life's about cheering others on, even when you're losing, because sooner or later when you put the hard work in that's required to succeed, YOUR TURN TO WIN WILL COME! ✊🏽🖤💛❤️

This episode is part of Mental Fitness Conversations, our series in partnership with Gotcha4Life, centring First Nations voices in conversations about culture, connection, and mental wellbeing.
Brian Dowd is a proud Gamilaraay man, a former NRL player, a trauma specialist, and the founder of Walkabout Barber. A mobile barber and mental health service that has visited over 150 communities across Australia and delivered more than 4,000 free haircuts.
His dream was simple. Go to where men are. Cut their hair. Give them a space to speak and be listened to. And when they need it, get them connected to real support.
Because for a lot of men, that cape goes on and something shifts. The walls start coming down.
"We want young men and older men to go home to their families."

This week, we wanted to share a conversation that feels especially fitting.
In our latest episode in Mental Fitness Conversations, host Mundanara Bayles sits down with Brian Dowd - proud Gamilaraay man, founder of and community wellbeing advocate - for a deeply honest yarn about vulnerability, identity, healing and what it really means to help people feel safe enough to speak.
What started for Brian as a way to support his autistic son through a haircut has grown into a nationally recognised wellbeing movement. Walkabout Barber travels into communities across Australia, turning haircuts into conversations and conversations into trust.
Brian speaks openly about the quiet struggles many people carry - particularly men raised to believe vulnerability should stay hidden - and about the power of everyday connection to shift that.
"A lot of us just haven't got the tools in the toolbox to express how we feel and we've got to help create that."
Being "All In" during Reconciliation Week and beyond, means making space for stories like this one - listening, learning and showing up for each other. That's mental fitness in action.
