It Ain’t Weak to Speak: Interview with LIVIN Founder, Sam Webb - 061
I’m super excited to have Sam Webb, Founder of Mental Health Non-for-profit Organisation ‘’Livin’’ join me on the show for episode 61. Now some of you may not recognize the name but I’m sure a fair few of you may recognize the branding of ‘Livin’’ on many caps and hoodies on a fair few high profile people – most notably Chris Hemsworth.
With the aim of breaking the stigma around speaking up and saying ‘’I’m not ok’’ – especially for males where the stereotypical masculine role of just shrugging things off and not showing your emotions – still weighs down far too many men in today’s society. The stats of how many suicides this leads to every day is beyond alarming as Sam will share with us throughout this interview.
This interview is incredibly raw, real and impactful and know that no matter your gender, no matter your journey, no matter where you’re at emotionally at right now – you will get something out of listening to this because there’s never a time you can’t listen to someone get super vulnerable and real with you and not connect with their message. That’s the power of vulnerability, as Sam and I discuss among many other powerful topics surrounding mental health, why ‘’I’m fine’’ are two of the most dangerous words we can say or hear, and also more personally, Sam’s heartbreaking experience which led to him creating LIVIN to begin with. It was somewhat similar to my own journey of establishing Nicole’s Foundation and we do share a little how that had us cross paths many years ago at a charity event on the sunshine coast.
Sam also chats about what it was like for him mentally to be a contestant on survivor – yep that’s right, he’s been a contest on the TV show survivor as well as an actor in Aussie TV Shows Neighbours and Home and Away, and is now trying his luck in Hollywood as he has his heart set on growing LIVIN over in the States and giving his acting career his best shot over there too. So, safe to say Sam has an incredible journey with plenty of valuable lessons for us to learn from when it comes to living a meaningful life but ensuring you’re taking care of your mental health while you’re at it. If you’re a human being with a human brain, this episode is an absolute must listen to – even if you’re not struggling mentally right now, doesn’t mean you won’t ever or that someone you love won’t. So please turn up this episode and get ready for an awesome heart to heart with the awesome founder of Livin, Sam Webb.

This group coaching is for highly anxious girls who struggle with self confidence and perfectionism. You'll get weekly online mentoring sessions with me in an intimate private group of 4-6 other girls struggling with similar issues. Together you'll get the tools and strategies needed to manage their anxiety and build confidence in a way that they’ve never been taught before. By coaching together in a group, you'll understand you're not alone in your struggles and form bonds with girls who ‘’get’’ what you're going through.
It’s the same life changing results as my one-on-one coaching for just a fraction of the cost.
