Beyond All Bounds with Ben Broadbridge

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Broadbridge, the founder of Beyond All Bounds, to dive deep into his journey from battling addiction to building an organisation that’s changing lives.

Ben opens up about his 15 years as a DJ in Perth’s hospitality scene; a lifestyle that seemed all fun and games but masked a dark spiral into addiction. From physical injuries like a neck injury and scoliosis that led to his reliance on opiates, Ben shares the gritty reality of his struggles and the turning points that eventually led to his recovery.

He explains how those tough experiences shaped the way he built Beyond All Bounds, an organisation focused on delivering mental health support through services like Mental Health First Aid courses, (which are making a massive impact on workplaces and communities across WA), and by also leading men’s circles, creating a space for open and honest conversations that are breaking down barriers and helping men heal.

Throughout our chat, Ben dives into the challenges he’s faced, and the incredible growth the organisation has experienced over the past five years.

For anyone interested in joining one of the men’s circles or getting certified in Mental Health First Aid, Ben shares how to get involved and emphasises the importance of taking that first step.
