If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “We need to take responsibility for our own health and this includes our mental health.”_______Shane Kelton is a speaker and author who’s experienced mental health issues since the age of 12. His first memories are hiding under the bed with the thoughts of wanting to die, and it was the internalising of all the thoughts and feelings that nine years later led to a suicide attempt. A roller coaster ride of ups and downs was to follow, as he went about finding his way to get through the darkest of thoughts. Shane knew he didn’t want to die, but the internal dialogue and suffering all became too much. In this years that followed Shane got to work on himself, lived the ups and downs and decided after a friend died by suicide that enough was enough.As a lived experience speaker he wanted to do more, so he wrote his book ‘I didn’t want to die, I just wanted the pain to end- finding a better way’ in an aim to help others who may be suffering or give a better understanding to those who just don’t get it. Shane’s passion is creating real conversations which don’t feel as challenging as they once were, allowing all humans to feel safer, build connections and find there own community to become healthier and happy versions of themselves.For more information about Shane, check out these places;-Website: https://powerstrengthvulnerability.com.au/ (https://powerstrengthvulnerability.com.au/)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shane_kelton/ (https://www.instagram.com/shane_kelton/)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/power_strength_vulnerability/ (https://www.instagram.com/power_strength_vulnerability/)LinkedIn: Shane Kelton (https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-kelton-ab8307106/?originalSubdomain=au)Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejcox/)Connect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcox (https://www.instagram.com/michelle.j.cox/)Connect with Michelle on Facebook here -
