This Sundayโs piece?
We're diving into connectionโฆ 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 DMโs and comments coming. I love the engagement and I do my best to reply to everyone.
New here and curious what weโre all about?
Here are a few reader favourites to get you started while you wait for Sundayโs piece:
๐ง Relentless Resilience: a raw look at what it takes to keep showing up, day after day.
๐ Big Boys Do Cry: where it all cracked open. One of the most personal things Iโve ever written.
๐ง Just Press Play: a playful, surprising take on finding joy again.
If youโre curious about my back story, start with:
โ๏ธ Detention by Decree: Part 1 and Part 2โฆ the beginning of a very real chapter. One Iโm still living, as I write to you now from inside Brisbane Immigration Detention Centre. Settle in, have a scrollโฆ 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 whoโve chosen to support this work financiallyโฆ especially given my current predicament, your help truly makes a difference.
If youโve been enjoying what you read and can spare the price of a coffee or a beer each month, consider upgradingโฆ 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.



I'm playing catch up at the moment, however supporting you with every step Brother. Thank you for allowing the world to hear your journey and learn from the battles that you've overcome. As said previously I look forward to you returning to your loved ones, seeing the day you walk out of here with your visa I feel will come soon.
