I recently took my son to the driving range. He was so determined to get a good drive, he didn't loose focus for a second and he SMASHED it. I was so proud of him in this moment.

Starting in 2026, I’ll be re-sharing posts that genuinely resonate with me. I’m kicking this off with the “8-Minute Rule.”

When I first came across this idea, it hit me hard. It stuck. Over time, it’s become something I live by, not just something I agree with.

Please don’t overlook people when they’re vulnerable. That unexpected call from a mate, a colleague, or a loved one might be more important than you realise. Sometimes the signs are subtle—a shift in tone, a change in behaviour. Other times, they’ll come right out and ask for help.

If you can, give them your time. Give them your attention. Eight minutes might not feel like much to you, but it could mean everything to them. The impact you have in that moment could be life-changing!.

If you agree as much as I do? Please share this post for others to learn.

Men can be victims of emotional control too.

It doesn’t always leave bruises — but constant criticism, isolation from friends and family, or being made to question your own memory can take a huge toll on mental health.

Too often, Aussie men stay silent, believing they need to “tough it out.” But no one should have to endure emotional control in a relationship.

Introduction Relationships are often seen as safe havens — places where trust, love, and support thrive. But for many Australian men, this isn’t always the case. Emotional control and manipulation within relationships can leave men feeling isolated, powerless, and even ashamed. While conversatio...

We’re incredibly grateful to have sat down last week with Dayna-Jane Doherty and the Arvarni Real Estate team. It was an inspiring opportunity for both of our organisations to share our passion for supporting Australians to live better and be better — together.

Throughout our conversation, it was clear that Arvarni Real Estate deeply aligns with our values and commitment to improving mental health in Australia. We’re proud to welcome them as our very first commercial sponsor!

This partnership marks the beginning of what we know will be many meaningful community engagement projects, and we couldn’t be more excited to work alongside such a dedicated team.

A heartfelt thank you from all of us at MND8.

We’re not just in Brisbane, we’re part of it. At Arvarni, property management is more than looking after homes. It’s about investing in the community we live and work in, through local partnerships, charitable initiatives, and meaningful engagement. This month, we’re proud to share one way w...
