I like this podcast, but I don’t really like the fact that the “narrators” kind of but in and ask questions.
Even though we've all gone through something (and I'm certain no one escapes completely), being able to hear other's stories and feel the repercussions is a great reminder that we really ARE all in it together. Thank you for the amazing work!!
Mental illness is unseen. There are no bandages, no bandaids, no crutches, no cuts … We need to break the silence and stigma of all mental health concerns and there is no doubt that Lukes podcasts goes a long way in explaining and educating others.
What I have learnt is, that there is no shame in mental ill health.
Luke takes a healthy approach to unpacking the thoughts, feelings and lessons learned in tradgedy. Absolutely a must listen!
Thanks for showing real life, and not just that, but the HOPE. Love your easy conversational style that meets people where they are. Grateful for both of you!
