So glad this exists
As someone who grew up with a parent who’s bipolar type 1 and tried navigating the health care system in Australia I can relate so much to other peoples stories. It’s somewhat comforting and healing to know I wasn’t the only one and people had similar struggles and the ways they’ve managed it. But also the work this podcast does at raising awareness but pushing for so much more than that which is what we need

Goes beyond platitudes to push for real change
Joel speaks his mind and, although I don’t agree with him all of the time, we should admire his courage and insight. Plus, he has great guests and really cares about actually helping people with mental illness and their carers.

There needs to be more people like Joel! Awesome work :)
Was great to do the podcast with Joel! In this online world we engage in, there are many people with strong opinions on matters - who claim they are "advocating" for change, but they only explore one factor within their biased opinion. You only have to look at the variety of subjects being interviewed within 'the lived experience' to see that Joel is truly passionate about providing information and discussion amongst the broad spectrum of mental health care in Australia. Super friendly guy who's easy to talk to and provides space for others to be heard on their own individual level. Well done Joel! You're delivering a bigger impact than you probably realise!! Great experience
Belinda and Joel disappointed
It’s an opinion that someone who has the look can weaponise blah blah. But you have lost some respect I had during the episode. So what about the people that don’t have the look. Yet are intelligent interesting committed blah blah. Your argument is immature and I would like to be a fly on the wall in 25 years to your views then.
Edit
Ok on reflection my review wasn’t balanced. It did not express in the early part of this interview which was in line with most of your podcast. Interesting and supportive. I believe views expressed during some of this IV can perpetuate imbalance of power and coercion in the work place and wider community. It is Belinda I am curious to see her view in 25 years.

Compassionate, caring and informative
An intelligent, empathetic and informative podcast. Really enjoyed hearing the different e Ernie each people have had with the system and Joel engages with his guests in an authentic way. Wonderful!
Great job
Insightful and honest story sharing presented in an approachable format.
Keep up the great work mate, more of these stories need to be heard.

Excellent
Joel has great interview skills, made me feel comfortable in opening up about my story and asked the right questions without being pushy
Real conversations for personal and business lives
Really enjoying Joel's real conversartions as he dives deep into personal and buisness matters that often gets left unsaid. These convos are adding real value to peole and buisnes owners no matter the industry.
Episode 3 with Tim Beanland they reveal how many buisnesses are stuck in the past as they're doing little to no video/content marketing leaving lots of opportunity on the table and muich more - Great stuff!
Podcast is very informative with massive value - a must listen!
Highly recommended!

True to title.
The title certainly does not stray. Joel gives an unbiased opinion and always talks from experience. Amazing how genuine conversations can lead to thoughtful insight.
