IN ISOLATION: The Resilience Project’s Hugh van Cuylenburg

Good morning! Or arvo! Or night! We’re rambling! Today on the show, we bring you the uplifting Hugh van Cuylenburg. For those unaware, Hugh is the school teacher turned mental health pioneer behind The Resilience Project - an organisation that works with schools, sports clubs, and businesses to provide evidence-based, positive mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness. In our interview with Hugh, we talk about it all: From the pivotal trip to Northern India that changed his life, to the impact his sister’s battle with Anorexia Nervosa had on his perspective. Just a quick note: this episode covers issues around disordered eating and might be triggering for some listeners. Thank you so much to James Cosmetics for making this episode of Shameless possible.
