Episode 2 - Steven Gamble - The Surfer Dad who gently holds space with vulnerability

In this candid conversation, Steph is joined by her friend Steven Gamble, or as she fondly calls him, Mr Amazing. Once a printing-industry professional, Steven shares how a Boxing Day realisation set him on a new path. From a career in printing to founding Man Anchor, now known as Anchor Health Group, an organisation dedicated to improving mental-health literacy and building stronger, more connected communities. Together, Steph and Steve talk about the quiet courage it takes to be open, the lessons that come from vulnerability, and how societal expectations around masculinity have shaped generations of men. They explore how true strength lies in honesty and empathy, and why giving others permission to express emotion and be fully human is such powerful work. The conversation moves easily between surfing, family life, and leadership, with reflections on inclusion, kindness, and what it means to create space for others to feel safe. It's a warm exchange between two friends who share deep respect and a mutual passion for helping people find light in difficult times. This episode includes an open discussion of mental-health challenges and recovery.  Links in this episode:  Steven Gamble (LinkedIn) https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-gamble-640b5216/  Anchor Health Group:  Website: https://www.anchorhealthgroup.com.au/  Instagram ( where it all started!): https://www.instagram.com/anchor_health_group/  LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/anchor-health-group/  Stephanie Gaddin(LinkedIn)  https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniegaddin/  Women in Print Australia:  Website: https://womeninprint.com.au  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-print-australia  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womeninprintaus  Threads: https://www.threads.com/@womeninprintaus    Mental Health Resources and Contact Information Australia Lifeline — Call 13 11 14 (24/7).
