From Cricket to Psychology
Collie boy Cade Williamson has had a broad range of life experiences – from playing professional County Cricket in England, to working in the fitness industry, to working FIFO in the mines, to eventually becoming a psychologist (almost by accident). In this episode, Cade discusses his experiences as a cricketer and how his favorite sport took him from Collie to the other side of the world. He shares what cricket has taught him about life and some of his journey through FIFO and fitness work to eventually becoming a psychologist with BSS who regularly attends site. Cade’s story might just hit you for six!
Isolation and loneliness – John Hannan and Chris Burrows
Between them, psychologists Chris Burrows and John Hannan have decades of experience in travelling for work – Chris with his background in training and site work, and John with his role as a trainer and years of experience working for the RFDS and as a white-water rafting tour guide. Both have enjoyed the travel but have also struggled with the challenges that can come with FIFO life. In this podcast they talk not just about the isolation you can feel when you are away for work, but also the isolation you experience when you are back home. They each share how they have managed these very real challenges.
