In this episode of Nourish & Flourish, we sit down with Wayne Schwass, former AFL player and founder of Puka Up, to talk about the importance of mental health and why asking for help should never carry stigma.

Wayne shares his personal journey into the mental health space and the experiences that shaped his passion for supporting others. We explore how attitudes toward mental health have shifted over the years, what progress has been made, and the challenges that still remain in creating open, supportive conversations.

With honesty and insight, Wayne reminds us that looking after our mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health, and that connection, awareness, and compassion are key to changing lives.

This is a powerful and uplifting conversation that will inspire you to prioritise your own wellbeing, look out for those around you, and embrace the importance of speaking up.
