Reflections in Lockdown
With many of us at home right now having a bit more time on our hands, I’m seeing a lot of messaging on social media urging people to spend their time a certain way. To do this new thing or that new project…
I just want to sort of counter and diffuse that train of thought, and encourage anyone out there feeling overwhelmed or discouraged: please… don’t listen to those voices!
Sure, for some people it’s the perfect time for working on something they’ve wanted to for a while – the book, the song, the app, the home renovation – whatever it may be. But for others, it’s also the perfect moment to catch their breath, take care of themselves and to just be… Both sides are productive, important and valid.
Productivity isn’t measured by works.
So please don’t succumb to the expectation of others today or feel like you aren’t “doing” enough. Especially in a time like this, what matters most of all is doing what’s best for you.

R U OK? Day
R U OK? Day this year was next-level.
In a world-first, Richard Branson had Virgin Australia staff across the country (some 10,000 of them) wearing a splash of yellow with their staple red and purple uniforms in support. It was also great catching up with some of the RUOK? family and meeting Virgin Australia CEO, Paul Scurrah.
As always, it’s important to remember that the spirit behind this national day of action isn’t just reserved for once a year. If you feel something’s not quite right with someone you know, trust your gut, no matter what day it is. Check up on them and ask if they’re OK.
Never underestimate the power a simple, genuine conversation can have x

Mighty Self-Care
By nature, I’m a pretty positive, optimistic, driven guy. I love life and am young at heart. But I’m not always strong. I don’t have it all together. Sometimes I really struggle.
I’m so thankful to be an R U OK? ambassador, because I get to play a small part in shining a light on what so many people grapple with: mental health.
The Mighty have an article on self-care and asked us to share 3 things we do when feeling low. Here are mine. To see what others shared, click on the grab below.

Memories of Ghana
When I think about the week I spent in Ghana, oh man … words escape me.
Getting to participate in the country’s 60th Independence Day celebrations, taking in their stunning landscape, rich culture and passionate people, I’m floored. And so thankful.
I always gain fresh perspective while traveling. But being South African-born, standing on African soil again was extra special. A spiritual experience.
Massive thanks must go to my beautiful and generous friend, Darlene Zschech, for having me along.
You know, we joke a lot about the whole ‘hashtag blessed’ thing on social media. But for real… Through life’s rough times and my (many) flaws, moments like these are just another reminder of how blessed I really am x

Raving It Up
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Rave It Up TV, not long before GREASE was announced.
Much was shared. Not just about what I’m up to career-wise, but my background, thoughts on mental health, the entertainment industry and lots more. There’s even a cheeky game at the end too.
For anyone wanting a bit more of an in-depth look into what I’m about, this is worth checking out. You can either watch the interview above, or listen to the podcast here.
