PLEASE NOTE:Today’s episode will touch on topics of violent physical attacks and trauma.Sending you lots of love 🩵 Lifeline Australia 13 11 14Better Help www.betterhelp.comBeyond Blue www.beyondblue.org.au ---------------------------------------------------Today marks a unique episode, offering a different perspective on an event which we have previously covered. A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of hearing Skye Woodlands' remarkable account of her survival following a brutal 2018 attack. If you haven't caught that episode yet, I strongly encourage you to do so (Season 3, Episode 2). Joining us today is Rick Walker, who is Skye's partner, and who played a pivotal role in her survival. To put it in simple terms, Skye would not be alive today if it wasn’t for Rick’s actions that night. Rick and I chat about:What his life was like prior to the attackThe attack, from his perspective (his initial thoughts & feelings when he heard the commotion outside of their Townsville home)The adrenaline he experienced (clarity, focus, speed and strength)His actions which contributed to Skye's survivalHandling the emotional impact after witnessing a traumatic eventThe changes to their lives and how he manages day-to-dayIf the incident has changed his perspective on life and personal safetyHow he is moving forward - both personally and as a support system for SkyeWhat he does to manage his mental and physical healthI would just like to give recognition to Rick's courage, bravery and ability to think and react/respond quickly in the face of a critical emergency. As the saying goes, "not all heroes wear capes".I have the utmost respect for him and Skye and feel deeply honoured that they chose to share their incredible story on this podcast 🩵---------------------------------------------------Looking for a coach for your own Evolution in health and fitness?Reach out and let's chat!Instagram: @jardan.coachWebsite: www.evolutioncoachingbyjardan.com
