When was your last normal?
The central question posed in his presentations echoes with urgency: "When was your last normal?" The recognition that a life crisis can strike anyone, regardless of their status, wealth, or position, propels his message. In a society fixated on success, he probes the very essence of our existence - the connection to our loved ones and the world around us.
“Illness is an evolution both physical and mental,’’ Spinks says,”12 million Australians now have one or more chronic illness brought about by lifestyle choices. 80% of all ED admissions now have a stress related component.”
The presentation beckons a collective transformation, urging his audiences to play a vital role in supporting each other through challenging times and recognising the warning signs for early intervention. Spinks underscores that a new approach is imperative preparing us with the tools from preventing sudden heart attack to micromanaging our mental health into oblivion.
