Life is hard enough without the constant strife for a concept that doesn't exist. I'm interested in the messy, the hard, the the real parts of life that we're often told to hide by ourselves and society. Let's start celebrating the times we get back up after falling down and trying again.

9 FEB 2021 · It’s incredibly difficult when love becomes entangled with pain and the person we thought cared about us most causes us to suffer. Kate takes us through an incredibly turbulent time in her life during a toxic relationship that destroyed her mental and physical health.
Trigger warning: emotional abuse, manipulation, rape.
16 DEC 2020 · We grew up being told bread was bad and so was gaining weight. It's so difficult to unlearn these societal expectations and judgements around food and exercise, but even more difficult when we're young and these ideas are reinforced by our parents. This week's episode is incredibly vulnerable, where 25-year-old Sophia Liu shares accounts of a painful time in her life that has not only made her who she is, but informed her content and built a community centred around body acceptance.
25 NOV 2020 · I discovered Rosie on Tiktok (as @weightlosswithrosie) back in June 2020 and immediately fell in love with her positivity and body confidence. Whilst documenting her weight loss journey is the primary aim of her account, it was the self-discovery of belief and fighting that inner critic that struck me. Rosie’s self-belief has not only transformed her life, but almost 100,000 others. Fighting that inner critic isn’t easy, but my god does it pay off when we do.
19 NOV 2020 · I met Fran over the summer when I guest panelled some discussions for her Resilife team at Kings. What was evident then, today, and every day, is just how important talking about our mental health is. In honour of World Mental Health Day, Fran shared her insights into life as a family therapist, facilitating that conversation for other people. What's evident both here in the UK and back home in Chile, is the understanding of context in mental health. Things won't change unless policy and funding does too, which is why day's like today are so vital.
10 JUL 2020 · The first episode in our featured mini series in honour of Pride this year, I sat down with 21-year-old Charlotte Woodman, a White cis, queer woman from Muswell Hill, who has just qualified as a primary school teacher. Charlotte and I attended the same secondary school, which was incredibly homophobic and not as inclusive as it poses to be. We talk about the problematic language and culture of British secondary schools as well as Charlotte's hope for future generations of education.
3 APR 2020 · Challenges to your mental health as an adult aren't always talked about, so I wanted to use this episode to talk about a time in my life where I really struggled to articulate my emotions and didn't know how to ask for help. It's not always an easy thing to do and can sometimes be quite painful and embarrassing, but we're all flawed and far from perfect! And from personal experience, I've learnt far more from the struggles and failures I've had than my successes.
