This week on Mind Your Head, I sit down with Matt Runnalls - mental health advocate, speaker and founder of Mindfull Aus.
At a young age, Matt lost multiple close friends to suicide. Experiences like that don’t just pass - they shape you. They change the way you see the world, the way you see yourself and the way you carry pain.
We talk about what that actually felt like.
The grief, the confusion, the weight of it all and the pressure to keep going when everything inside you feels heavy.
Matt opens up about his own struggles with mental health, the moments where things felt dark and the turning points that helped him start to see things differently.
We get into the idea of being “the strong one,” what that really costs and why so many people are quietly carrying more than they let on.
We also speak about masculinity, vulnerability, and the importance of learning how to sit with your emotions instead of pushing them away.
This isn’t a conversation with all the answers. It’s an honest one about pain, healing and what it looks like to slowly rebuild a relationship with yourself.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected or like you’re carrying something you don’t fully understand - this one will resonate.
