    • Now We're Really Talking to Sally Orange MBE - Part 1
      Jan 27 2026

      In this episode, I sit down with Sally Orange. This is the first part of my conversation with Sally! Check out the second episode later this week!

      Sally is a former Army physiotherapist, mental health campaigner, adventure fundraiser and proud self-described “serial yes-sayer”.

      We talk about Sally’s experience of growing up with anxiety, exam pressure, rejection, and not feeling “good enough”, and how these early experiences shaped her mental health into adulthood. Sally reflects on navigating university, professional life, and leadership roles while managing anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the weight of high expectations.

      This is an honest and compassionate conversation about resilience, identity, and learning to listen to your mind and body.

    • Now We’re Really Talking to Conor Warren
      Jan 19 2026

      In this episode, I sit down with Conor Warren. the founder and CEO of Spark UK. We talk about Conor’s experience of growing up with anxiety, accessing counselling from a young age, and how grief and major life changes shaped his mental health. We explore what it was like to start a mental health organisation at 14, the bullying and backlash that came with it, and the pressure of growing up in the public eye while trying to create change.

      We also talk about burnout, the link between mental and physical health and how anxiety can show up in unexpected ways in the body. Conor reflects on balancing university, running a charity, learning when to say no, and the guilt that can come with rest. We go on to discuss faith, purpose, and why Conor believes young people are searching for meaning in an increasingly uncertain world.

    • Now We're Really Talking to Leigh Johnstone
      Dec 24 2025

      In this episode, I sit down with Leigh Johnstone, the Beardy Gardner. Leigh is a theatre director turned garden designer. He is now an active mental health campaigner and has become popular on social media sharing gardening content.

      In this episode, we talk about Leigh’s experience of growing up with an alcoholic parent and how this still impacts him today. We also talk about the positive impact on mental health of theatre and gardening.

      We go on to talk about the double edged sword of social media, and the value of slowing down, and how reconnecting with creativity and nature can help us feel more human in an increasingly fast, digital world.
