Touched Out! A Mental health podcast for parents

Australian Podcast Awards 2024
I am beyond thrilled to share that Touched Out! has won the 2024 Australian Parenting Podcast of the Year!

To see my mug next to countless talented and seasoned podcast professionals was an incredible experience in itself but to also take home the win is one of the most validating and memorable experiences of my life.

I want to thank my wife, whose support and understanding keep me grounded, and to my children, who are at the center of everything I do. To my guests & listeners, thank you for trusting me with your stories, for being vulnerable, and for being part of a community that holds space for each other.

Thank you to the Australian Podcast Awards for recognizing my work, and to every parent out there, whether you're thriving or just getting by, know that you’re not alone. Here's to many more conversations and to making the journey just a little bit easier for all of us.
