This episode isn’t like our usual Thursday chats. Today, we’re unboxing something that could genuinely change — or even save — lives. It’s not about us. It’s about a cause close to our hearts: men’s mental health and suicide prevention. After losing our nephew to suicide in 2023, this mission became deeply personal.

Join us as we unpack the Gotcha For Life Men's Care Box — a collaboration between Gotcha For Life and Chemist Warehouse. For just $20, you get over $100 worth of products, and every single cent supports suicide prevention efforts. Hear what's inside, why it matters, and how this simple purchase could help someone you love.

KEY POINTS:

A Personal Story: The heartbreaking loss of Justin’s nephew to suicide in 2023 reshaped their family and their conversations forever.
Gotcha For Life's Mission: Aiming to reduce suicide to zero by fostering meaningful connections and conversations.
The Men’s Care Box: $20 at Chemist Warehouse, packed with over $100 worth of self-care items.
Every Dollar Helps: 100% of proceeds go directly to Gotcha For Life’s mental fitness initiatives.
Why It Matters: A simple gesture — like gifting this box — reminds the men in your life that they are seen, valued, and loved.
The Bike Analogy: We often see people moving through life like a bike’s headlight in the dark — not realising how hard they’re pedalling just to stay afloat.

QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:

“We see the light—that’s a life. But we don’t see how hard someone is pedalling underneath to stay afloat.”
