From Army Officer to Mental Health Advocate: Sally Orange's Journey to Inspire Change

In this episode of The Burnout Recovery Podcast, host Dr. Jo Braid has an inspiring discussion with mental health advocate and endurance athlete Sally Orange, MBE. Sally and Jo met years back during their university degrees through the Royal Army Medical Corps. Sally shares how her transition from a military career, due to mental health challenges, reshaped her identity and how she now uses endurance adventures and playful fruit costumes to break the stigma surrounding mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how resilience, humour, and outdoor activity can contribute to burnout recovery and mental well-being.

I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations. I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.
