In this episode of Rog, I’m joined by my long-time high school best mate and Div 12 Ressies teammate, Michael Allen.
Michael is one of the funniest blokes I know, but he’s also one of the most honest, raw, and vulnerable people I’ve ever met. For as long as he can remember, he’s battled with anxiety and mental health challenges — and this year in particular has tested him more than ever. Some days, even getting out of bed has felt impossible, weighed down by thoughts of failure in relationships, friendships, and work.
But rather than letting those thoughts define him, Michael is taking on the journey of a lifetime. He’s walking from Sorrento all the way to Sydney — along the east coast of Australia, camping under the stars — to raise money for the Black Dog Institute. It’s an adventure fuelled by grit, purpose, and hope.
We talk about his struggles, what’s driving this mission, and how he plans to tackle the physical and mental challenges ahead.
