Rae Bonney - Men’s & Boys’ Health

Easter Sunday 2025, I was joined on the show by a guest I’ve known for every single second of her 30 years — and, if we’re getting technical, even before that, when she was giving me heartburn, and heart attacks with in the lead up to her grand entry into the world.

All said, this amazing woman is my first true love. The most beautiful princess in all the land and, quite frankly, one of the scariest people I’ve ever met.

On a very warm Sunday in February, at 94.1FM 3WBC, for the first time ever, I handed over the reins of my show and settled in as a guest of longtime friend and magnificent media man, Steve Carey.

He took the lead and asked me “what does it feel like being you, today?” which provided foundation for a deep dive into my personal and professional journey … a story ...

It was a definite highlight of my International Men's Day/Movember season, hanging out with Movember's Jake Lambert at 94.1FM 3WBC to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities in men’s health, in honor of men and boys around the world.

Jake was incredibly open, sharing deeply personal and touching moments—from his journey as a new dad to a heartfelt story about his own father. His reflections highlighted the power of vulne...

Mike Hagan is a Distant Conspirator who has become a very close collaborator of mine over the past few years 😀.

In a mash up of our respective fields, mental health, workplace wellbeing, men’s health, safety and compliance, we shared all the how, what, why, when and where we’re both currently at.

On one of the biggest topics going round, Mike and I sketched out what organisational responsibility in addressing workplace psyc...

To wrap Men's Health Week 2024, and inspire conversations beyond, I went to air at 94.1FM 3WBC with a very special and spontaneous radio show that showcased a story that had not yet been told.

Two days before, at a construction site Men's Health Week toolbox talk, I asked the room of around 130 men to raise their hand if they'd had any experience with paternal post natal depression (the kind that happens to dads).

One guy di...

I recently caught up with fellow community radio presenter Leah Veenhuizen on her fabulous show "Just a thought" at 94.7 the Pulse.

Leah asked early on about my reasons for advocating so enthusiastically for men and boys ... I surprised myself with an unguarded response that I tend not to often reveal 💛 .

We went on to challenge some of the damaging myths and misunderstandings about men and masculinity - also their alarming...

Earlier this year, #2 son and I attended one of the many amazing Melbourne International Comedy Festival events.

We were not nearly well enough prepared to have our sides split and possibly our pants wet, from the night’s headliner, Ashley Fils-Aime. 🤣

Supporting a mystery line-up of some of the best festival comedians, Ashley did not fail to keep the laughter level at “11” throughout the entire evening.

Looking a little ...

Around 35 years ago, Peter Baker set himself a path of exploring the relatively unchartered world of men and boy’s health in the UK.

A true trailblazer, he’s contributed to many great outcomes, over the years, including the introduction of HPV vaccination for UK boys in 2018.

Fast forward to now and he is one of the founders and Director of Global Action on Men’s Health that launched 10 years ago, with a clear purpose of cre...

“A true vocation calls us out beyond ourselves; breaks our heart in the process and then humbles, simplifies and enlightens us about the hidden, core nature of the work that enticed us in the first place.” David Whyte – Poet

This quote came to mind, as I waded through my research, in preparation for my interview with Australian actress, writer and producer, Maria Angelico. It so beautifully illustrates her unwavering commitment ...

Late last year I tuned into Andrew Huberman's Huberman Lab Podcast for one of the best 12 hours and 40 minutes of learning I’ve experienced in a long time.

Dr. Paul M. Conti, a Stanford and Harvard trained psychiatrist has empowered the lives of many people around the globe, including Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Tommy Hilfiger!

Mike Rolls is a survivor of one of the deadliest diseases on the planet - meningococcal.

One day in 2001, this sport-mad teenager headed off on a football trip and then overnight, was fighting for his life, with only a five percent chance of living.

When he regained consciousness, Mike had lost his right leg, half his left foot, two fingers and part of his nose, along with extensive internal injuries.

From here, Mike went on t...

Ben Moore is an apiarist [AY] + [PEE] + [UH] + [RIST] (which is the fancy name for a Beekeeper), environmentalist, father, food-lover and owner of Ben's Bees. 🐝 🍯

Being exposed to nature and farming from an early age, and with three decades of experience behind him, Ben started Ben’s Bees in 2008.

Since then, Ben has been very “buzzy” expanding his hive of industry and crosspollinating beekeeping, honey production, safe rehoming...

According to evolutionary psychology, human beings are motivated to engage in behaviours that maximize their genetic fitness.

One could also say that every decision we make is guided by some form of motivation.

In more recent times, research tells us that boredom, stress, burnout, feeling overwhelmed, and a lack of clear goals can lead to a lack of motivation.

Felix Blackler, however, became so motivated by motivation that he...

Almost 8 years ago, I heard about a guy named Olly Bridge, who was quite the trailblazer in workplace health and wellbeing … groundbreaking stuff, at the time.

Olly has dedicated his life to helping individuals and teams recognise their full potential - achieving extraordinar...
