On todays episode I had a good old catch up with James Simison. From stoic, the strong silent type, a label that awarded him positive recognition at school, James found himself struggling in later life through behaviours adopted due to that one label. Burying feelings and emotions and putting on a brave face even when things were becoming simply too much. We also chatted about celebrity and that it should come with a mental health warning, and using labels to excuse certain behaviours, often negative ones. Enjoy.

Today I spoke with Lee Jameson-Laffey. Lee has done and is doing many amazing things with his life from foster parent to performer to business owner, entrepreneur. We discussed labels close to Lee surrounding alcohol, feelings of isolation and being gay. From tears to laughter Lee brought all of the emotions whilst telling me his story, his journey from a boy knowing who he was to a man simply owning who he is despite the judgements he has faced and overcome over the years...Enjoy

On todays episode I spoke to the lovely Cain Quillman. An author, Cain has written his memoirs as a method of therapy, to share his story with the world in the hope that they might help someone. We discuss his first book “Dragged Up and Torn Apart” which saw him labelled the “terrible twins” alongside his brother who at 17 he was separated from. The two spent their early lives causing trouble, fending for themselves and wishing they lived elsewhere with friends… it’s a must read… but these stories are real, they happened, and they had a significant impact on the person Cain is today, which we discuss at length, including his fear of death.
