From the isolation during COVID compounded with the struggles of a toxic relationship, Luke Direen found himself at what felt like the end of the road.

In this raw and deeply personal MentalHunts Podcast, we discuss Luke’s battle with depression, a fight that nearly cost him his life. Firearms were more than a passion for Luke, they were his identity, his life, it was all he knew. But when his licence was removed due to his poor mental state, his world crumbled around him.

Join us as we dive into his journey of resilience, the crucial role of mates, the power of honest conversations, and how reconnecting with nature can be a lifeline in the darkest moments. Luke is now thriving and enjoying hunting like never before.

This is more than just a story, it’s a message of hope, survival and strength. We want those who relate to this story to see there is a way through. We are all in this together.
