On this special edition, Nicky is back, and the conversation takes a few twists and turns as we unpack the trend for 'lived experience' as incidental learning that boosts structured training, how mind potentialities are the way we think and not a weakness and why Nicky got told she has a saggy pelvis. We encourage the idea of why you need to 'wilfully put yourself though shit' to become a better leader and poke fun at ourselves in the distraction.

This week's guest Nini Tolson, life coach and business woman, lost her job, her dream, herself and her home. Surviving a plane crash wasn't the end of the trauma for Nini.

This week's guest, Mark Thomas loved his career in the Police Force. Strong, capable and altruistic, it wasn't until late in his career as his mental health dived into a very dark place, he realised the impact of the cumulative effect of trauma in the line of duty. It became clear after his own diagnosis of PTSD that support for first responders suffering with PTSD and their families was difficult to find. Mark Thomas, the founder of Code 9, truly felt that he was on his own in his fight and wanted to build a safe space to show others that they are never alone. What he did was create a safe place for first responders to talk, seek help and understand the need for self care and mental health initiatives. This episode contains discussion on suicidality and listener discretion is advised.
