Episode 12: Vern Petty – Rhodes Wellness College Podcast
Vern Petty is a Rhodes Wellness College graduate who has taken the skills and personal growth from his Professional Counsellor Diploma (PCD) into a career spanning counselling, coaching, community building, men’s work, retreats, and wellness events. After entering Rhodes at just 21 years old, Vern describes the program as a formative experience that helped him develop boundaries, confidence, vulnerability, and a deeper understanding of human connection. Today, through his work with Expansive Man, Vern focuses on creating spaces where men can explore personal growth, brotherhood, purpose, accountability, and what it means to live and lead with greater authenticity.
