Brett Hardy: How to keep going when you have nothing left. Mental health ain't easy but worth it. May 16, 2022

Show notes

"Sometimes when you're overwhelmed by a situation - when you're in the darkest of darkness - that's when your priorities are reordered."

On this week's episode, I sit down with a familiar face, Brett Hardy. Brett is no stranger to mental health and the challenges it brings to life. "Brett’s story involves a mental health sojourn that spans twenty years from 2000 to 2020. Prepare to ride alongside him as he goes through the bipolar motions of extreme highs, devastating lows and all the semi-stable moments in between.

His story is proof that if a diagnosis is accepted and the right support embraced, then an individual living with mental illness can not only survive but thrive!"

He has been dealt a shit set of cards in in his life but has come through on top. Enjoy the episode!

Kent Mullins: Healing hurts & it's not pretty Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

To change things up and to use the time I have, I have decided to do little 10-20 minute episodes on things I think matter. Hopefully they are some easy listens and you can grab some sort of value from them as they come.

On this weeks mini ep, I wanted to talk about what healing looks like in reality not on social media. We seem to have created a false narrative around healing, that it should be easy and "done in 3 easy steps if you buy my coarse...". There are certain modalities of healing that certainly do help but will not get to those deep rooted traumas that we are trying to work through. There are many bandaid fixes to such deep rooted issues.

It's not attractive and it sucks but you can get it done.

Corey Phillpot: Worlds Strongest Marathon record & what it takes to be a full time family man. Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

“There may be people that have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.”

On this weeks episode I sit down with world record holder of the worlds strongest marathon, family man and ultra endurance athlete, Corey Phillpot to go deep on family balance, what it takes to break a world record by 3 hrsand things he has planned on the future.

After being through the bender and coming out the other side only to be confronted by his own inner demons, Corey made a split decision to call his dad and change his life. This isn't a very romantic story of self exploration, more a man who was sick and tired of being sick and tired. On the cusp of suicide and ending it all that one call of reaching out changed the trajectory of his life for the better. Married with 2 children Corey is pushing the limits of what humans can achieve with a little hard work and dedication not only with his sporting achievements but with family life as well.

Enjoy this episode because I sure know we both did.

Troy Jones: What it takes to run 4000kms across Australia. Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

"Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come."

This week on the podcast trans Australia runner Troy Jones joins me to talk all things mental health and running. Troy is no stranger to the depths of his own mind and wants to show people in his circle and anyone he can reach through social media that you can change the way you look at your own life for the better.

Troy in 2021 ran across Australia in 72 days covering 4000kms in the process. The logistics alone was one hurdle but to run on average 50-60km a day is another. Troy has the mental capability and capacity to to over come depression and push through barriers he never knew he had. This was a great conversation and I had a lot of fun recording it. Troy is a humble guy who just wants the best for the people around him. I hope you enjoy the episode.

**TRIGGER WARNING** Kent Mullins - Vulnerability is the cure. Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

***SEXUAL ABUSE TRIGGER WARNING***

No interview this week. I want to keep this episode quick but intimate. I will warn you as there are some touchy subjects mentioned in this one. From my own personal experience but also a lot of others around me.

This is a mini recap from the events that happened this weekend and how we can learn and master our selves. Vulnerability is the cure to this mental health pandemic. Without it, there is no recovery. Take the lead and speak out, give permission to the friends and family around you to do the same. We all have that power SO USE IT!

We are all sick and tired of rising suicide rates and yet there are more mental health resources around us than ever before?

There has to be another way out. Breathe work wont fix it, cold plunges wont fix it, eating a clean, vegan diet wont fix it... They all help but this is a lot bigger than surface level, band aid style fixes. We need to go deep! We need to talk about the dark pasts and the shadows that lurk behind us.

Thats what made us who we are. Thats what got us there in the first place, it will get us out.

BE BRAVE, BE BOLD AND GET IT DONE! Your life depends on it.

Show notes

"To achieve success, working hard and getting knowledge is not enough. What we need more is the belief in oneself and the ability to never give up on your dreams even after going through numerous failures. One needs to believe in the actions and dreams to make it a reality and work on every step to achieve it."

Kent Ohori... There is so much to say in such short paragraphs... From a pack a day smoker, to losing his father and grandmother to now holding the world record for the fastest Everestman ever completed. It just goes to show what type of human he is. From humbled beginnings he is no stranger to the depths of hurt one can go through.

Now how does one go from the night life lifestyle to conquering a feat such as Everestman. You will just have to listen to the episode. He is a humble guy who just wants to make a difference in the lives of the people around him and his club. To prove that no matter what happens to you in life, you can always "rebound".

Arman Vestad aka "The Norwegian Gun Runner": From hardened criminal to mental health philanthropist. Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

“We have plenty of tomorrows to compensate for the wrongs made yesterday.”

Arman Vestad... What can I say! What a beautiful soul he is. His story is the perfect example of how turning your life around is possible but you need to do the work. From very humble beginnings to hardened criminal, Arman is no stranger to the dark side of the human condition. Over-dosing 5 times in 10 days from the use of GHB to supplying guns that were used in a triple homicide to being incarcerated for many years. Arman has completely and utterly turned his life around for the better and for ever. A family man, an international spokes person for why employers should hire ex-criminals, a mental health advocate and all round amazing man, we cant wait to see where and what he does in the future.

Now for the house keeping! I am now currently looking to team up with a sponsor to help out with these face to face episodes! It does take time to put these episodes together and am looking to get them out hopefully on a weekly basis. It also does cost me money to make them and cant afford weekly sessions. I am looking for a sponsor that would suit The Running Deep Podcast and bring value to my audience. SO if you are reading this and know of, or are looking to sponsor and up and coming podcaster please contact me via my social media outlets or email me on:

kentrmullins@hotmail.com

Danielle Britz: Why you need to "feel" too "heal" and why grief is good. Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

"Grief does not change you. It reveals you.”

This week on the podcast I sit down with Danielle Britz, a former colleague and fellow friend. We talk all things mental health, grief and how Dani navigated her own mental health state after losing both parents within 13 months of one another. The key term here is "feel to heal" and she has taken that on in full force. Not only coming out of a deep depression and near suicide attempt she has found new meaning in deep and meaningful conversation.

The vulnerability and comfort this lady showed during our time together really shows how unstoppable she truly is. A powerhouse that wont be stopped. As we all are, she is still healing and wants you to know that it's okay not to be okay and that you need to reach out if you are struggling with your mental health. It's time we re-asses how we look at mental health, its time we get it done together and pave the path. This is not an episode to miss!

Trent Harding AKA "Bones": From 100kg slob to 100mile Ultramarathon Sep 26, 2021

Show notes

"When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations."

Trent Harding... What can I say. From 100kg Slob to 100mile ultra, elite, endurance athlete. This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Trent who is an idol of mine. We go deep on his early life of drugs and partying and how he lost everything to how he turned his life around all on his own to be the best version of himself.

A jack of all trades, Trent is now a full time father to 2 beautiful children, madly in love with his partner and fitting in time to train upwards of 15+ hrs a week. What can I say, the man is a humble power house. From completing 8 x 100km Ultramarathons, 2 x 100milers, plus many other triathlons and local ultra races and qualifying for the worlds championships at Kona in Hawaii, this amazing human has a huge resume of achievements under his belt.
