For the past two decades, I have dedicated my career to the area of healthcare, spanning in both Greece and Australia. Following my nursing education and service in the medical corps in Greece, fate led me to Australia in 2001, a place I proudly call home. Throughout my journey, my commitment to holistic care has been a guiding force in my professional adventures. I've had the privilege of working across various domains of healthcare, from acute settings to community care, serving as a registered nurse and care coordinator. Over the course of the last 13 years, I've had the honor of caring for some of the most vulnerable and complex individuals in our society. This invaluable experience has not only enriched my clinical expertise but has also fostered profound personal growth, shaping me into a more compassionate and empathetic healthcare provider. Like many, I've navigated my own share of hardships, including experiences of grief and loss, as well as struggles with my own emotional well-being. However, through introspection and self-discovery, I've emerged from these challenges with a newfound strength, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for life. This inner journey has reignited my sense of self-love, leaving me feeling stronger, healthier, and more determined than ever before. Now, I recognize that it's my time to give back—to share the love and gratitude that fills my heart with those in need. I am driven by a profound sense of purpose, eager to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Kosta Michalopoulos, RN, RCT

I want my daughters to see that the man I am today acknowledges the man I was. Mistakes happen, but it's about standing up again and loving yourself. Love starts from within; if you love yourself, that love pours out to everyone around you. It comes from an authentic place.

I have some limited availability between Christmas and New Year.

If you’re struggling, or if you know any other men who might need some support, please reach out.
This can be a tough time of year for so many men.

And don’t forget, we have our last gathering on the 19th 💙

As the calendar flips to December, we find ourselves standing at a familiar crossroads. The festive season is upon us, bringing with it the promise of joy, connection, and a well-deserved rest. Yet, for many of us, this time of year also carries a heavy weight, the pressure of expectations, the stre...

I have a confession to make. For years, I was part of the Brotherhood of Complicity.

It's the unspoken agreement among men to stay silent when something feels wrong...to choose belonging over integrity. I've felt that knot in my stomach, that fear of being the one who "ruins the vibe." And every time I stayed quiet, a small piece of me disappeared.

But the cost of this silence is too high. It's not just about a joke or an uncomfortable moment; it's the same code that led to the devastating tragedy of Hannah Clarke. When we stay silent in the small moments, we reinforce the system that leads to the biggest ones.

I'm done with that code. My commitment now is to a new kind of strength: one that speaks up, one that chooses honesty, and one that demands better from myself and the men around me.

If you've ever felt the cost of that silence, I wrote this for you. It's time to break the code.

Read my full commitment and the resource on my empowerment page here:

A deep exploration of the Brotherhood of Complicity and how unspoken male codes enable harm. Learn how men can break the silence, heal, and lead real change.

When men start focusing on inner work, communication isn't the only thing that shifts. The real transformation begins inside.

It’s the internal dialogue that changes, that constant chatter of ego trying to protect you from discomfort, from growth, from vulnerability.
Most men don’t realise how loud that voice has been their whole lives.
But when you slow down enough to actually hear it…

When you recognise where it comes from fear, old wounds, conditioning something powerful happens.
You stop reacting.
You start choosing.
And that’s where the real change begins.
This is the work.
Not perfection. Not silence. Just a deeper awareness of the voice within, and the courage to rise above it.

Stop trying to fix her. Start trying to hold her.

That was one of the biggest takeaways from my recent chat on the Legacy Women Podcast with Kyriacou

We talked about the difference between a man who reacts and a man who is embodied—a man who can be present with his partner's emotions without getting defensive. This shift is the key to unlocking a woman's potential in life and business.

If you're ready to level up your presence and your partnership, this episode is a must-listen.
