The best podcasts for Healing trauma through lived experiences

Mahlon and Jamie butt head a bit in this thought provoking and entertaining podcast. Their points of view differ drastically from ep to ep but you can tell their friendship is incredibly strong and their ability to bounce back is truly a testament to the type of people they are.

I was lucky enough to have Bekah and Bryan on my podcast and honoured to be a guest on theirs. The similarities discovered between the life of Bryan (pun kind of intended) and myself shines through and I think it's quite rare to be able to witness a strong and caring friendship form between 3 people in such a fast but authentic way.

Aussie radio royalty chats with other prominent Australian fathers about all things dadding. A feel good, light hearted podcast that doesn't shy away from jovially discussing some pretty nitty gritty topics.

Another podcast I was lucky enough to guest on. A day in the life of parents from all walks of life is great to listen to when you are feeling a little alone or isolated and it's a nice warm hug to remind you that just because you feel alone, doesn't mean you are alone.

Adding my own podcast to the list might be frowned upon but bear with me as I have good reason. Not only do I believe in my mission, my creation and myself but the Touched Out podcast isn't just mine. It's existence would not be possible without every single amazing and brave guest I have had the absolute honour of speaking to. For a podcast that has only been alive since mid Feb 23 I have had guests from various locations all over the world and one thing is apparent in each episode... Discussing mental health openly, honestly and without fear of judgement is paramount to creating change in a society that still isn't quite where it needs to be. With 12 episodes and a special mini mothers day episode currently released my guests and I cover an insanely large amount of ground from complex mental health diagnoses to autism, adhd, birth trauma, childhood trauma, suicide, divorce, shaken baby syndrome and countless other hard but healthy topics discussed. I am incredibly proud of the community we have created together and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for my podcasting journey!
