In this powerful episode, we sit down with Sean Phillip, founder of the nationally recognised mental health and prevention charity 'The Shaka Project', to explore his personal journey through mental health challenges and suicidal ideation. A journey that led him to find purpose and, in turn, create one of Australia’s most inspiring mental health movements for change.

Sean speaks with raw honesty about his lived experience, the moments that shaped him, and the turning point that inspired him.

What began as a personal mission to raise awareness has grown into a nationally recognised mental health and suicide prevention charity, a community driven movement dedicated to breaking down the stigma surrounding men’s mental health through open conversations, education, and genuine connection.

Throughout the episode, Sean shares how The Shaka Project has evolved from merchandise, local talks and social media advocacy to national workshops and community events that bring people together to talk, listen, and support one another.

This episode is a powerful reminder that mental health doesn’t discriminate and that through compassion, courage, and conversation, we can all play a part in changing the statistics and building stronger, more supportive communities. Enjoy!
