From a troubled childhood to the front lines of conflict, this episode of Hello You is one of raw honesty and resilience.
Shane Carter joined the army in a bid to turn his life around, a decision that would take him deep into the realities of war in the Middle East, including the aftermath and clean-up operations following the fall of Saddam Hussein. However, whilst the military gave him structure and purpose, it also exposed him to experiences that would leave lasting scars.
Now back in civilian life, Shane opens up about the mental health battles he’s faced since leaving the forces, the struggles, the silence, and the strength it takes to keep going.
This is more than a war story. It’s a powerful journey from boyhood to manhood, told with honesty, grit, and no filter.
