Rae Bonney with Lance Picioane - Love Me Love You

It was big, warm hugs back on Sunday 10 February when I caught up with the worlds greatest metaphoric cuddler, Lance Picioane, CEO and founder of Love Me Love You foundation. He had his arms wide open to embrace a whole bunch of my questions about what it feels like, being him! Lance played AFL for 8 years, experiencing what he thought was a dream career, but behind closed doors, lived with pretty serious mental health challenges. These days Lance connects with the community, through his non-profit organisation, Love Me Love You - striving to empower and build personal resilience - helping challenge the cruel stigma, often connected mental health issues.
