KRP 2021 | E33 | Let's Talk About Depression

*Trigger warning*
In this week's show, we hear from 7 real kiwi motorcyclists, about their struggles dealing with depression and anxiety.

This may be a tough listen for some, but we feel it's important to share these stories and talk about the black dog as some people call it.

we want to break down the stigma and barriers around these afflictions and show there is a way to get through.

The real takeaway from these conversations is how these people deal with their thoughts and feelings, and motorcycling helps.

 

Please reach out if you are suffering, there are people who can help.
