In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, I sit down with Nick Bracks — mental health advocate, keynote speaker, and behaviour change coach — to explore what it truly takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.

Nick’s story is one of raw vulnerability and powerful reinvention. As the eldest son of former Victorian Premier Steve Bracks, Nick grew up under intense public scrutiny. But behind the polished exterior was a young man battling depression, anxiety, and addiction — struggles that led to a highly publicised drink-driving incident in 2007 that changed everything.

From that defining moment, Nick began a journey of self-discovery that would ultimately become his life’s work: helping others find purpose, confidence, and self-belief. Over the past 15 years, he’s delivered over a thousand talks across the globe, from TEDx stages to corporate seminars, sharing practical tools for mindset, wellbeing, and authentic living.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The unseen pressures that drive self-sabotage and burnout

• How obsessive behaviour can be redirected into positive growth

• The red flags of declining mental health — and how to recognise them early

• How to reinvent yourself after a fall from grace

• What really changes when you begin to live from a place of self-worth

• The role of vulnerability, courage, and small daily action in long-term transformation

Nick also opens up about his ongoing personal lessons, his relationship with pressure and perfectionism, and why healing the mind isn’t about fixing yourself — but remembering who you really are.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating change, supporting someone they love, or searching for that first step toward a more fulfilled life.
