Pieces of the Mind.
Shining light on mental health in the bush and hearing stories from different people in the rural area. “Pieces of the mind” is here to bring stories to life and is created so stories don’t go untold. I want this podcast to bring a positive community together one I feel the bush will most definitely benefit from.
Pieces of the Mind.
Matika Carmichael – For the Ones Who Keep Showing Up
Matika Carmichael – Showing Up for Community, Through Grief and Grit.
In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, we’re joined by Matika Carmichael — or Teek, as she’s known to many. Raised in the country town of Injune and now living on a cattle property near Condamine with her husband Ben, Teek is someone who wears many hats and wears them well. From running her own fitness program The Move Club, to working as a trainer for Dedikate, and balancing a finance job on the side, she’s a powerhouse with a passion for community.
But behind the motivation and movement is a story of love, loss, and resilience. Teek opens up about the passing of her father — a moment that shifted her world — and how she found healing through exercise, connection, and showing up for others. Her story is a beautiful reminder of the strength found in rural communities and the importance of leaning into what lifts us up.
Whether you're needing a boost of motivation or a reminder that you're not alone in your grief, this conversation will stay with you.
