Mental Health Tools from Dudes with Lived Experience - with Simon Moloney CGC of Head-Up Charity

The day we recorded this episode, another veteran from Si's
regiment had committed suicide.

We have both lost mates to the black dog over the years, and it
has become apparent that the conventional tools and methods used
by the government-run mental health organisations are not
sufficient for a large portion of those in need.

Swiss 8 and Head-Up Charity are changing the game. Swiss 8 is a
veteran-run organisation that is based out of Australia, that
provides their people with an app that delivers their 8 pillars
of health and wellness directly to their phone, so they can
structure in and schedule the important cornerstone habits that
will have a positive, flow-on effect through the rest of their
day to manage their mind.

Head-Up Charity is a veteran-run organisation operating out of
the UK. Their goal is to build a state-of-the-art resort-style
facility in the countryside, to provide a place for those seeking
proactive mental health strategies they can then take away, and
apply to their own lives on a daily basis, with the intent to
also pass on these tools and methods to their mates who may be
dealing with their own mental health battles.

In this episode we covered:


The lessons we've both taken from listening back to our first
conversation

The power of the mind

What is the vision for Head-Up Charity?

How will they raise the funds required to facilitate the
end-state?

The lessons and the fulfillment is within the journey, not
the destination

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."


The odds were stacked against me:


Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work,
abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years
period of my life


Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping
school


At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my
pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new
life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work
and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier,
at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit
to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the
best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning
coach
38+: The next evolution begins
