Struggles and Challenges (Life us full of these..)

Observing this gnarly old She-oak (see comments for image) I could not help but see it as a very realistic and graphic representation of a fully lived life.
It is both brutal and beautiful at the same time. Whatever trials and tribulations, this three has just kept going and pushing through.
In so many ways, we as humans are so much more vulnerable but also resilient in comparison because we have developed thoughts and meanings - strategies and tactics.
Surely this special feature is only positive and exceptionally valuable, purely designed for us to find clever solutions to whatever Life throws at us?

Well, maybe this is not quite as simple as that.
Have you ever experienced doubt and worry? Overthinking what is going on? Experiencing a lack of clarity and stress?
Our ''thoughts and smarts'' are not always working to our advantage, sometimes it is even the opposite and the result is that we are not doing so well.
It is safe to assert that in the vast majority of cases, these thoughts are trained and gained by our own experiences and meanings that we have developed about ourselves.

The good news is that this is all within our own realm of control, equally - the bad news is that this is all within our own realm of control.
My main focus as Coach is to help my client identify what is going on for them (internal story telling), and from there develop strong and lasting strategies to change thinking and responses.

Does any of the above resonate with you, about your own situation or someone near to you in life or at work?
Why not make contact for a free and non committing conversation to explore if you are my client and I am your Coach?

I would love to hear from YOU!

Supporting a family member or friend experiencing mental health challenges can be difficult. It can also be overwhelming to find the right mental health information.

Young carers may not always be recognised or receive the support they need in their caring role. That’s why it’s important for young carers to have access to information, resources and support for their own wellbeing too.

These new mental health resources have been developed to help young carers find information and connect with the support they need.

🔗 Find the new resources here: www.health.tas.gov.au/health-topics/mental-health/mental-health-information-consumers-families-and-carers/resources-young-carers

Please help MRT with this important survey, it only takes a few minutes to have your say!

Male voices and perspectives are often missing from policy conversations, so please share your perspectives if you have experienced cancer, or supported someone with cancer. Men's Resources Tasmania (MRT) is preparing a submission on behalf of boys and men across Tasmania into the Tasmanian Cancer Strategy.

Cancer affects nearly all of us either directly or indirectly — 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime — and this is your chance to help shape future priorities for the people in your life and for Tasmanians more broadly.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to inform MRT advocacy for male experiences of cancer.

Please access the survey using this link :

Wonderful work. Thank you Stephen Biddulph!

What stops you from following this simple message?

Happy ! We thank all of our amazing cardiology staff for looking after the hearts of Tasmanians! 🫀🩺

It’s never too early or late to take better care of your heart.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes diseases and conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels.
It is the leading cause of death globally and in Australia.

💚 Many heart attacks and strokes can be prevented by adopting more healthy behaviours.

Walking 30 minutes a day, for example, can reduce your risk of CVD. If a block of 30 minutes is difficult, walk for three sets of 10 minutes and make more active choices through the day.

Some more ways to make a big difference: 👇
• going smoke-free and vape-free
• maintaining a healthy weight
• lowering stress
• drinking alcohol in moderation
• having a heart-healthy diet with plenty of whole (unprocessed) and fresh foods, fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of fats and oils, and less salt and sugars.

Being heart-smart also helps protect from other diseases such as type 2 diabetes and kidney disease.

🧑🏻‍⚕️ If you are concerned about your heart, please see your doctor.

Symptoms of CVD depend on the condition.
👉 Signs of a heart attack can include chest pain, difficulty breathing or palpitations, or feeling faint, sweaty or unwell.

📞 If you suspect a heart attack, dial Triple Zero (100) immediately.

👉 If you suspect a stroke, remember to act F.A.S.T.
Face – Check if the person’s face is drooping?
Arms – Can they lift both arms?
Speech – Is their speech slurred?
Time – Call Triple Zero (📞000) immediately.

Powerful Conversations

I must admit, the recent media exposures of concerns by many key people inside of ‘‘The world of AI’’ has had me rattled.

As a process engineer by training I have some insights into very early and non-sophisticated Machine Learning principles, it was all very exciting and full of promise.

The emerging control technology was aimed at stabilize complex and multivariate problems, reducing error rates - waste and improving performance overall.

What seems to now be happening is that a much more complex and advanced artificial intelligence realm is developing, at a rate that is even hard to fathom.

It is all happening so fast that those that are in the classic and traditional sense placed in positions of managing everyone’s best interest are hardly able to keep up with the development.
Machine learning on steroids (or maybe rather on Terra Watt scale of computing power), machines are now training machines - increasingly faster…….

I feel that there has probably never been such a need for human interactions, conversations, coaching and mentorship.

Get in now, this will be a great event!

Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 International Men’s Day Breakfast!

Across Tasmania, men are making a difference every day. They’re raising families, mentoring young people, coaching local teams, volunteering in their communities and looking out for their mates.

International Men’s Day is a chance to recognise the positive contribution men and boys make to our families, workplaces and communities. It’s also an opportunity to get together people who care about the wellbeing of men and boys.

This year’s theme is The Future is Everyone. A reminder that the future isn't shaped by one person or one organisation. It's shaped by all of us.

When we support men, we help shape a better future for the next generation.

So, whether you work with men, develop policy, lead a workplace, support your local community or simply believe this work matters, come along and be part of it.
