What would it feel like to be free? Do you try to make changes in your life but constantly slip back into your old ways? I know that I did and found myself constantly frustrated by my lack of willpower. What I never knew is that there was a reason why I could not control myself and that there are processes that you can follow to regain your freedom. I interview some of the greatest, relatable, and compassionate minds; talking about breaking all varieties of bad habits and how to actually live a joyful and fulfilling life. Listen now to free yourself from the shackles of the mind.

#30 - SHOT BRO - Confessions of a Depressed Bullet with Rob Mokaraka

Rob kindly joins James to discuss his gripping near-death experience and recovery from depression and trauma.

In 2009 Rob had a mental and spiritual breakdown in Auckland and provoked the police to shoot him dead. He was shot at close range in the chest by a Glock 9mm bullet. After multiple surgeries and court cases, Rob started therapy and went on to create Shot Bro - Confessions of a Depressed Bullet, a story of his life that is; Funny, Dark, Real, and Educational.

Rob is now invited to communities and organisations, including NZ Military bases, Prisons, and Probation Centres around the country to share his story. A show that is both humorous and hard-hitting, Shot Bro exists to start conversations, so people know that they are not alone and that they are allowed help to heal. His story is funny but very real. Each show is followed by a wananga/forum, with kai and cups of tea to whakanoa/ground the community afterwards.

Rob says that he isn’t an expert, but his real-life journey makes people feel safe, knowing that he understands. “Crying is better than dying and we can’t change the past, but we can change the present. #OutOfTheDarkWithAroha”

We highly recommend checking out the incredible Shot Bro show:
