There's a moment where your brain lights up when you realise someone gets it. That what we're experiencing and feeling about life, attraction, gender, sexuality isn't something we have to face or deal with alone. But this only happens when there's real authentic connection. In this episode we explore what that looks like, how it makes a difference and why vulnerability is something to be celebrated. 

Our guests are LGBTI activist and R U OK? Community Ambassador Craig Mack who shares how regular check-ins with a friend saved his life and former monk, author, resilience expert and Chair of the R U OK? Conversation Think Tank Kamal Sarma who gives us the low down on what the research tells us about the power of connection and conversation.
