Conversations That Matter: Recent Episodes
Matthew
The Matthew Hour will be where I will be talking about my Mental Health journey and have guests come on and talk about their mental health journey, how they have overcome their own battles. The wrap of the scores in the NRL and AFL(just Giants and Sydney Swans) and the Tech news where I will talk about the latest tech and video games coming soon. When either I or my guest’s are talking about our Mental Health journey or in general these are our own opinions, our own experiences and our own thoughts. We are not medical professionals so please see your GP and do your own research when it comes to your own Mental Health.
