Brianna Creaunne was a regular teenager living in Queensland when her life was turned upside down by a housefire.

She suffered burns to 60% of her body and was placed in an induced coma for 2 weeks following the fire.

Now, she uses her platform online to inspire others to embrace the skin they’re in - scars and all. She’s working as a model and educator for other burn survivors.

CONTENT WARNING: Details of death, suicide, depression

Alan Bruce worked as a special rescue firefighter (one of the most high-stress roles in the industry) coordinating large-scale rescues and firefighting operations.

As a child, his family immigrated to Australia from Scotland, where they were placed in a migrant hostel. He had dreams of being a pilot and a rockstar but fell into firefighting and learned to love it.

Throughout his career, Alan developed severe PTSD and later, suicidal ideation. Today we chat about mental health, the concept of life and death and the mental health toll on first responders.

As usual - I am so grateful for these conversations and the vulnerability of our guests.

You can purchase Alan's biography here.
