TW: Mental Health.

What happens when life forces you to confront stress, loss and burnout head-on?

In this episode, we speak with Brett Sams, founder of The Self Care Zone. Brett’s story begins with tragedy and evolves into a mission to help others prioritise self-care, resilience, and mental health in their personal lives and workplaces.

Brett shares:

• His personal journey after losing his brother and how support shaped his recovery.
• Why driving became his unexpected gateway to self-development.
• How leaders can reduce stress and prevent burnout in their teams.
• The true financial and cultural cost of neglecting staff wellbeing.
• Practical self-care strategies that anyone can apply every day.

Brett’s insights show that self-care is not a luxury. It is the foundation of strong leadership, healthy teams and long-term success.

If you are a business leader, manager, or simply someone carrying too much on your shoulders, this conversation will leave you with real, practical tools to reset and take back control.
