What does it mean to start over in a world so vastly different from the one you knew? Journey with me from the heart of Sierra Leone, facing the trials and triumphs of finding asylum and forging a new life in Australia. Through the lens of my personal story, I share the complexities of adapting to a new culture, navigating marriage, and embracing fatherhood, all while wrestling with anxiety and depression. My ex-wife's steadfast support remains a beacon in my mental health journey, and this episode is as much about resilience as it is about vulnerability. Together, we reflect on the power of learning from past mistakes and the unwavering pursuit of personal growth.
In the midst of these experiences, the birth of my educational podcast marks a new chapter, one that transforms adversity into a platform for shared knowledge. Join me as I recount the challenges of launching this project solo, from editing to sound management, all on a retail worker's budget. Despite the hurdles, my vision is clear: to create a community that thrives on mutual learning and collaboration. If you're passionate about storytelling or skilled in production, your talents could be the missing piece to this endeavor. Let's explore how we can join forces to make this vision a reality, turning a solitary dream into a shared adventure.
