Welcome to Episode 5 of Reality Cheque with Shaye & Becc.
Are you coping ok? It's not easy out there. R U OK?
Shaye and Becc dive deep into some hard-hitting topics. We all thought things were going to get better after COVID but it hasn't ended. If anything it's gotten harder.
Mental health is important and we ask that if you're doing it tough out there, please reach out, speak to friends, family, colleagues and friends in the industry who will know what you're going through.
