This Sunday’s piece?
We're diving into connection… how it drifts when life takes over, and why now is the time to reach back out to the people who really matter. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Keep the DM’s and comments coming. I love the engagement and I do my best to reply to everyone.

New here and curious what we’re all about?
Here are a few reader favourites to get you started while you wait for Sunday’s piece:
🧠 Relentless Resilience: a raw look at what it takes to keep showing up, day after day.
💔 Big Boys Do Cry: where it all cracked open. One of the most personal things I’ve ever written.
🎧 Just Press Play: a playful, surprising take on finding joy again.

If you’re curious about my back story, start with:
⚖️ Detention by Decree: Part 1 and Part 2… the beginning of a very real chapter. One I’m still living, as I write to you now from inside Brisbane Immigration Detention Centre. Settle in, have a scroll… and welcome to Unshackled.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for being part of this growing adventure. And a special shout out to the 39 incredible readers who’ve chosen to support this work financially… especially given my current predicament, your help truly makes a difference.

If you’ve been enjoying what you read and can spare the price of a coffee or a beer each month, consider upgrading… but absolutely no pressure.

And if any article has struck a chord, sharing it with your friends, family, or social media helps Unshackled grow far beyond anything I could do alone.

Stay Unshackled, my friends.
See you Sunday.
