Will McMahon is best known for co-hosting his national radio show ‘Will & Woody’ and was recently seen on Celebrity Apprentice Australia and Australian Ninja Warrior. Throughout his extremely successful career, he has been battling with depression and has faced some dark moments along his journey.

 

In today’s episode of KICPOD, Will not only generously opens up about his struggles and allows us to see his most vulnerable side, but also enlightens us with his helpful advice on ways to recognise your behaviour before spiralling, finding what works for you to get yourself through, and ways to help your partner or somebody close to you who may be experiencing depression.

 

We hope you get as much out of this episode as we did, and are very thankful for Will sharing his experience with us.
