Take It From Us with Kent Johns
Take It From Us is the voice of lived experience. In this podcast, you'll hear real people share honest stories about mental health, addiction, trauma and recovery - straight from their own journeys.
They'll tell you what actually worked, what didn't, and what they wish they'd known sooner.
Host Kent Johns is a former broadcaster-turned-health-coach who believes everyone has a story to tell if people take the time to really listen.
So settle in, you're going to hear some stories. Take it from us - and from them.

Take It From Us with Kent Johns
Rich Rowley & Bex Waugh: The power in being 'neuro-spicy'
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Bex Waugh and Rich Rowley are self-described as 'neuro-spicy' - and they're on a mission to help workplaces understand the value neurodivergent people bring.
They're the force behind Neurofusion, an organisation helping people and workplaces find their flow - doing work that suits their cognitive style, not fighting against it.
Bex got her ADHD diagnosis after her daughter was assessed in Year 2. Rich spent years thinking negatively about himself until he discovered he wasn't broken - the systems were.
Their approach: celebrate what you're naturally good at. When you're doing work you love and are good at, it stops being work - it's fun. About 32% of the population is neurodivergent. The future is designing workplaces where everyone can thrive.
