In today's episode, I'm talking with Steve Phillip, founder of The Jordan Legacy Foundation. Not long ago, I came across Steve's profile on LinkedIn and felt instantly connected to him and his son's story. Unfortunately, mental health and suicide affects millions globally, and to provide some context, one person takes their life every 40 seconds.

This story is one of a loving father and family who have made it their life's mission to reduce the frequency of completed suicides by improving mental well-being in society and business.

Jordan's story gives us perspective on what needs to change and provides guidance on how we can help change the outcome. I believe we can all individually make a difference if we educate ourselves, and it starts by talking about it and sharing stories like this.

In today's episode, I interview Linda Easto, the founder of Hopeless to Happy. Her organization helps families recover from the trauma they go through when a loved one becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Many shy away from talking about addiction, and I'm grateful that Linda has shared her and her sons story; it gives hope that there may be light at the end of what can seem like a very long and dark tunnel.

If you would like to know more about how Linda's foundation can help you please see link below.

I had the pleasure of speaking with World-Renowned Sculptor and holocaust survivor Maurice Blik. We talk about his time at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, but then we get into his remarkable life journey that followed through to today, including how art has played an integral role throughout all stages of his life.

His words and experiences are lessons of someone with fearless determination. What is very clear is that his time, loss, and experience in Bergen-Belsen has not defined him. He is a true survivor and continues to educate and create sculpture with purpose, which you can see in his work or when you read his book (Art of Survival). His sculpture shows strength and courage, and quite clearly, so does the maker.

Maurice Blik's sculptures are not only a celebration of life but also an everlasting legacy that will carry his and his family's story for future generations to come.

In today's podcast, I interview Paul Chambers, Co-Founder of The creative mental health charity - PoetsIN.

I'd heard great things about Paul and the Charity, and I was intrigued to understand how he and his co-founder Sammi came to create such a life-changing charity.

Paul is very open and honest about his mental health journey, and unfortunately, many of us will find this conversation very relatable.

If you think you may have a mental health illness, Paul provides some great advice on reducing the symptoms of mental illness. Anyone can access PoetsIN, and you will find some great wellbeing packs for adults and young children on their platform.

In today's episode, I interview David Watson. We talk about the journey of finding love, life, and, unfortunately loss. David has been thrown many curveballs in life, from losing his parents at a young age to losing the love of his life Henry who was only 32 less than 12 months ago.

David's life was turned upside down when he lost Henry. But now, the man who once thought nothing would help him has found hope in Henry's memory and is determined to make it live on through assisting others that find themselves in a similar situation.

You'll find more on David's and Henry's story on TikTok, IG social links below.

Today you will hear Part two, of Ryan Nurses story; he talks about recovery, severe life-threatening depression, and finding his happiness within. I'm honestly amazed every time I speak to Ryan, and I love his philosophy and outlook on this precious gift we have called life.

A reminder from this episode

"The graveyard is one of the wealthiest places on this earth. Just imagine all of those undiscovered, unused talents, skills, and abilities that cease to exist. All those would have, could have, should have's that the world will never have exposure to. I want to see what life looks like if I don't give up. And I believe that everyone should do the same"

As always take care and lots of love

In today's episode, I interview Ryan Nurse.

You will hear how a violent encounter nearly took his life. He explains how his parents stood their ground with medical professionals and through pure commitment, persistence, and belief that their son would pull through they ultimately saved his life, they're the reason he is here today to tell his story.

Ryan's story doesn't finish here, part two of this journey is one of pure commitment on his part to save his life all over again.

There is a lesson for everyone in Ryan's story!
