Hi everyone, I’m 32 and pretty lucky in that I have a career which fits my exact personal childhood wounds getting to work in suicide prevention. As you can imagine I use the word ‘lucky’ with more than a little tongue in my cheek.
That said I’m very much wanting to have a greater impact than the one my job allows, as I’ve heard it put: your job won’t pay you what you’re worth it’ll pay you what the role is worth. I love the impact that I get to make but… if I could do it without the paperwork and admin oh boy would I ever lmao.
To that end I have a blog where I can write and spread my good cheer without needing permission. I share insights from my career, lived experience and industry experts so you can make the world more inviting for those on the fringes, basically.
People like me, people like my mum who lives with voices.
I’m keen to network with others who are writing, blogging / making content trying to make a difference. Especially people interested in creating businesses, services, digital products and the like in order to maximise good. Double especially people in Australia.
I feel like this place is exactly what I desperately needed about 20 years ago, thank you to all of you who’ve made it what it is! I hope to contribute. I’d love to get more involved in my local EA Chapter but have very little big bursts of time available, so this forum feels like the perfect way to meet in the middle.
Thanks for sharing Said! And welcome! Let me know if you’d like any tips for navigating the Forum/ finding what you’re looking for on here. All the best, Toby (Content Manager for the EA Forum).
