In today's episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Rob Hoskins, a former police officer turned keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for mental health - to  delve into inspiring stories of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of happiness. 

Rob's journey began in the intense and demanding world of law enforcement. As a police officer, his primary focus was on protecting communities and others, often neglecting his own mental well-being in the process. The constant exposure to stress, negativity, and traumatic incidents took its toll, leaving him emotionally drained and psychologically exhausted.

One of the biggest challenges Rob faced was the pressure to conform to the identity imposed by his uniform and role. This barrier inhibited vulnerability and prevented open discussions about mental health. The fear of judgement and the stigma surrounding masculinity made it difficult for him to seek help or even acknowledge his struggles.

However, Rob's journey took a transformative turn as he embraced the importance of mental health and happiness. He now advocates for openness and encourages others to choose happiness.

So, in our conversation, we explore the seven steps of happiness… discussing concepts of acceptance, self-awareness, aligning one's life with their fundamental beliefs, and surrounding oneself with a supportive social circle, whilst reinforcing that happiness is not merely a destination - but a journey of self-discovery and growth
