The second instalment of Season 2 is now live! 🥳 Sunny sits down with Anubhav Dhingra, also known as ‘Doomsday Dhingra’ for this weeks conversation. Anu sheds light into his experiences with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) through his younger years and how that manifested into a ‘Saber-Toothed Tiger’ in his day-to-day life. It’s an incredible story of resilience, discovery and introspection as Anu shares some of the deeper sides of a hidden story through his teenage years.  Building on his advocacy for mental health, Anu is also a support crisis worker for the national crisis lines here in Australia, as well as an advocate with the Anxiety Recovery Centre here in Victoria.  We hope you enjoy :) --- ~ Anubhav Dhinga ~Instagram: @anubhavphotogaphy_auLinkedIn: Anubhav Dhingra ~ The Anxiety Recovery Centre Victoria (ARCVic) ~Website: https://www.arcvic.org.au/ ~ Bottled Up ~Bottled Up Instagram/Facebook &amp; Linkedin: @bottledupausBottled Up Website: www.bottledup.life ---As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.

Sunny sits down with University friend Himal Pillay for an incredible conversation. Himal is a Motivational Speaker and Coach for high school students, speaking to over 30,000 people over the last few years as he tours Australia and New Zealand. However, it didn&#39;t all start this way... Himal goes deep into his childhood trauma, sharing his experience growing up with an alcoholic father, often reflecting on the guilt that was placed on his shoulders at the age of 14. Being raised by a single-parent and with no other option in sight, Himal describes how he took on the responsibility of being both the mentor and father-figure for his younger brother. It may be a story we are familiar with ourselves - growing up faster than we should&#39;ve, and having to carry many masks in our different social groups. As Himal entered University, he realised that something wasn&#39;t right - chest pain and an overwhelming feeling of emptiness, leading to his diagnosis with depression. He describes seeking help, and how he found his passion through public speaking and empowering others. Turning passion into purpose, Himal is now on a mission to inspire others that you can turn your struggle into strength. Join us as Himal turns passion into purpose, sharing his mission to inspire others that you can turn your very own struggle into strength. To make it a little more special, this conversation took place Father&#39;s Day - hope you guys enjoy and approach your day ahead with positivity. --~ Himal ~Instagram: @himalpillayTikTok: @himalpillayFacebook: Himal PillayYouTube: Himal Pillay (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5i3kN_Itb_XujARxJhHPxA)Website: https://www.himalpillay.com/ ~ Bottled Up ~Bottled Up Instagram/Facebook &amp; Linkedin: @bottledupausBottled Up Website: www.bottledup.life --As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.

In our sixth episode, Sunny and Ujjwal sit down with Stefano Gunawan, to talk mindfulness, movement and everything in between. Stefano has an incredible philosophy on life, and describes the moment he decided to live a life in line with his values. One not to be missed! -- We thought we’d change it up, and have a little introduction from the incredible soul himself: &#39;Hey everyone! My name’s Stefano and it’s a pleasure to have your ears for the next hour as I share my story and mental health journey (to freedom!) I’m an Indonesian-Chinese blood born in Perth and I moved over to Melbourne as an 11y.o. for the beginning of high school. Having gone through some tumultuous adolescent years (didn’t we all?!) I landed at the University of Melbourne in a Commerce degree. 4-years and a whole bunch of life-changing events later, I decided to quit that degree (with a mere subject to go! Insane, right?... naaaahh) and move on with my life. Releasing myself from the shackles of familial and societal expectations, I started to take the idea of rebellion very seriously. As Camus once said, “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” Amen! The main trigger for my radical change was a reality-bending 10-day silent meditation retreat (the second one, actually. I’ve been on four of them now), where I faced the demons of my depression and burnout. On the back of this ordeal, I committed wholehearted-and-soulfully to follow my muse whatever the cost to others might be, and I haven’t looked back since. Concretely, what does that actually mean? Well, these days my time consists of studying a Psychotherapy degree (which, importantly, I chose of my own accord; no parental influence!); writing and sharing my thoughts through my blog (eclecticchild.com) and Instagram (@stefanoryangunawan); dancing wildly (yes, even in lockdown); yoga-ing and meditating daily (hopefully to be a teacher of both in two years time); cohabitating with hippies in Brunswick (plus a CUTE ass puppy named Enoki); and generally just trying to live my life as best as I can. Oh, and MOST importantly, I’m also co-running a Men’s Circle! The gentlemen from BottledUp are a part of it too, and we’re hoping to grow the family in the future. We meet every 2nd Sunday via Zoom (and once lockdown is over, in person) at 2pm. If you haven’t already received or seen the open invitation from the Bottled Up guys, then consider this a personal invitation from yours truly: We are open and would love to have you join us at the next one! Come along with an open heart, a truthful tongue and attentive ears. It would be an honour to connect with you!&#39; -- ~ Stefano ~Instagram: @stefanoryangunawanFree Will piece: <a href="http://eclecticchild.com/2018/04/02/there-is-no-free-will/" rel="nofollow">http://eclecticchild.com/2018/04/02/there-is-no-free-will/</a>Giving and Happiness piece: <a href="http://eclecticchild.com/2019/05/12/a-radical-idea-for-doing-good-better-giving-and-happiness/" rel="nofollow">http://eclecticchild.com/2019/05/12/a-radical-idea-for-doing-good-better-giving-and-happiness/</a>10-Day Meditation Retreats: https://www.dhamma.org/en/indexTony Robbins’ 6 Core Human Needs: <a href="https://www.habitsforwellbeing.com/6-core-human-needs-by-anthony-robbins/" rel="nofollow">https://www.habitsforwellbeing.com/6-core-human-needs-by-anthony-robbins/</a>Blue Zones — Socialising for Longevity: <a href="http://bluezones.com" rel="nofollow">http://bluezones.com</a> ~ Bottled Up ~Bottled Up Instagram: @bottledupausBottled Up Website: www.bottledup.life --As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.

Mayank sits down with his high school friend, Solomon Monagle, where they go deep into his battle with mental illness during his high school and university years. They cover the confronting topics of suicidality and self harm. Bottled Up recognises that these themes are intense and can have a different effect on people, but having these conversations is imperative in ensuring that these topics are normalised. We believe that this episode is important for everyone as in any line of work or industry you are in, constantly dealing with people, and having an understanding of the different ways the human mind can work is required.  --Indoor Cricket Instagram: @serialoffendersBottled Up Instagram: @bottledupausBottled Up Website: www.bottledup.life --As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.

Ujjwal chats with Sean Bell, an incredible man on a life changing mission. His story started from running in honour of a late friend, completing 50 marathons in 50 days. That was just the beginning for Sean as he has his eyes set on running 14000km around Australia in the future. We really enjoyed this conversation about how finding a powerful purpose influences mental well-being. At the time of the recording, Sean was planning to run around Australia in 2021 however due to the COVID-19 situation, the run has been delayed to 2022.  Overall, an incredible conversation about the power of going outside yourself, the importance of reaching out to others and the invaluable reminder to chase your dreams now as we aren’t promised tomorrow. --Sean Bell Instagram: seanbell__Run for Wishes Instagram: runforwishes__Sean Bell website: <a href="https://seanbellruns.com/" rel="nofollow">https://seanbellruns.com/</a>  -- As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.

Sunny chats with Hesh Fernando, Co-founder of The Model Man, an Australian organisation on a mission to foster a community of positive male role models who lead by example. Hesh discusses how the Model Man was born out of a father-son journey between founders Hesh and his dad, Chris. However, it didn’t all start this way. Hesh describes how his dad would accumulate workplace stress and bring it back home daily. He describes the countless times he would lock himself in his room, hiding from his father and describing what it was like growing up in a toxic home environment - the impacts of which showed to carry on into Hesh’s personal life. Just when you’d think it would stop, Hesh recounts the time he was physically bottled inside a club at 22, shattering his confidence, and keeping him in hospital under intense care for many weeks. Fast forward to today, their relationship has now come full circle where Hesh looks up to his father as a mentor, as they look to create a real lasting change they both feel they were built to deliver in this world. An incredible conversation about forgiveness, and the many lessons learnt from pointing the finger inwards. Hesh is a wealth of knowledge, and I had great pleasure in sharing this conversation. -- Model Man Instagram: @themodelmanofficialModel Man Website: www.themodelman.com.auBottled Up Instagram: @bottledupausBottled Up Website: www.bottledup.life --As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.

More recently, he worked in the Victoria&#39;s Hotel Quarantine Program providing direct counselling to returned travellers from overseas. We delve deep into his relationship with mental health, his life as clinician during COVID-19 and his advice on how to manage your mindset during this global pandemic. -- Socials:Instagram - @bottledupausWebsite - www.bottledup.life -- As always, Bottled Up is a passion project to help provide a voice to those many men who are going through the peaks and troughs of life.
