Today I joined up with Joey Kolirin to discuss the passing of his father.  Joey shared the hard authentic truths about living with a family member who has a terminal illness. We touched on the weird culture around grief, and how those messages of sincerity dry up as life moves on.  It was interesting to hear from the perspective of someone who has lost a father and is now a father of his own, and how the trauma of his childhood  has shaped Joey's decisions and the person he is today.  

Tom Davies is the host of the proper mental podcast- he is an active member of the mental health space, and his conversations on adversity are leaving a positive stamp on the world. In reference to our conversation, Tom and I dove headfirst into the emotions of man, and why conversations around vulnerability are healing.  We also looked at the self-help reading scene, and how you can't implement everything that you read into your life- This was particularly helpful, as I am one for trying to change my life with every single bit of information I read,  and that is an impossible feat for anyone.   Podcasts around mental health may not bring in the largest of audiences, but as Tom puts it  ' helping that one person" makes all the difference.

In today's episode, I joined up with Jake moss. Jake and I have shared the football pitch a few times together over the years, but today's turf is a little different. Over the years my kitchen table has been host to many taboo-breaking conversations, and this is up there with one of my favourites. Jake shared his mental health journey, he opened up about his experiences with OCD and gave an insight into the toxic "life coach" internet genre.  It was an incredibly thought-provoking and rewarding conversation, and I can't wait for you to hear it.  Thank you Jake for being an absolute star.
