On this episode of the NatLifePod I’m behind the mic with Stevie Ward.
Stevie Ward is a former professional rugby player who played in one of the most successful teams in super league history.
We unpack Stevie’s journey from the curios kid, picking up a rugby ball first time, to then becoming the youngest grand final winner ever, and being named captain at just 26 years of age. We then go on to unpack the injuries, the mental health issues and the brain injury that then led to Stevie retiring from Rugby at just 27 years of age.
Through his ups and downs, his wins and what was being perceived as losing in life, Stevie has birthed a belief that the truest form of resilience is to realise the potential of our true selves.
Stevie is doing great work in the community through Mentality which he launched in 2016.
Mentality is a platform for inspiring conversation around mental health for men and offers counselling and life-coaching services.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
You can help us close this gap between wellness as an industry and wellness as a state of being, by liking, commenting and sharing the pod.
Much love, you Beautiful Custodians of this Beautiful Planet.
