In this episode, we’re joined by Jonathan Moran. Jonathan grew up facing significant challenges; childhood sexual abuse, a fractured relationship with his father, and a mum he adored who lived with bipolar and later died of cancer. Suicidality has been a constant thread in his life, and in his early 20s, after a confronting encounter with his abuser and the end of a relationship, he made a serious suicide attempt and was hospitalised.
Now 47, Jonathan is a twin, a brother, and an uncle, deeply connected to his family. He believes in the power of a good GP and speaks openly about the barriers to accessing mental health care. Today, he shares his darkest moments, what helped him through, and the daily practices that keep him grounded.
