The Global Affair with Nicole Gibson
From my teenage battle with anorexia, I gained a profound understanding of the emotional gaps within our healthcare system. I saw firsthand how our societal avoidance of vulnerability and pain stifles crucial conversations, fuelling my drive for social change.
At 18, I founded a non-profit aimed at equipping Australian communities with the skills necessary for meaningful dialogue. Here, I discovered a universal longing for love, recognition, and true presence.
By 21, I had become the youngest Mental Health Commissioner in Australian history, advising the government on the critical shift from crisis intervention to preventative care.
At 24, I launched Love Out Loud, a movement designed to elevate humanity into an expansive future built on compassion and authentic connection. We champion clarity of mind, body, emotion, and spirit as essential qualities for our future decision-makers. Our mission is to optimize the health of our leaders and build emotional capacity across our society at scale.
On The Global Affair podcast, we are committed to humanising polarising conversations and sharing transformative stories that reshape perspectives and build emotional capacity for individual and collective impact.
Thank you for joining us on this transformative journey.

Episode #24 Mindfulness & Meditation: Chong Shi & Courtney Joyce on Empowering Youth & Mental Health
Mindfulness and meditation for youth have become increasingly important in today's fast-paced and technology-driven world. As we navigate through a rapidly changing world, it's essential to equip ourselves with skills like meditation and mindfulness, and explore the importance of mental health, particularly among the youth. These practices are not just "nice to have," but rather crucial for our personal growth and resilience.
In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of mindfulness and mental health in our daily lives. We explore how these practices can help us appreciate the blessings of our existence and maintain a positive mindset. Our special guests, Chong Shi and Courtney Joyce, fellow Directors of the Love Out Loud Foundation, share their personal experiences and perspectives on how mindfulness and meditation have transformed their lives.
We discuss the human condition and how sometimes we only realize the value of something once it's gone. But, with mindfulness, we can evolve beyond this and learn to appreciate the present moment. We also explore the power of community and the impact it can have on our mental well-being.
As business owners and entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves caught between the urgency of racing to market with our products and the need to maintain a mindful approach. We address this challenge and offer insights on finding a balance that allows us to make the right decisions without sacrificing our mental well-being.
Additionally, you’ll hear a heartwarming story about the Love Out Loud Foundation's journey and our mission to integrate mindfulness and meditation into the schooling system. This episode sheds light on the importance of early access to these practices for young people and their potential to unlock their minds and regulate their emotions.
If you're interested in exploring the transformative power of mindfulness and mental health, we highly recommend giving this episode a listen!
