An episode that took a lot us to record but led to a result that we’re both incredibly proud to share.

Fenella and I talk about our individual struggles and journey with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, our journey up to this point, what it takes to be human, and where we are now. Spoiler alert - we’re both now in a positive place!

True vulnerability and honesty from both of us, and some moments that were deeply challenging for us to share, but overall you will hear our positivity about what it takes to live a life in which honest conversations about mental health are as vital as societies more accepted conversations on physical health.

*TRIGGER WARNING* Please be aware that this episode comes with a trigger warning as contains a discussion around mental health challenges, previous suicidal thoughts, and also abuse. If you’re of a sensitive disposition or are currently experiencing challenging mental health issues, we would always advise speaking with a medical professional.

We don’t share these issues lightly, but as coaches we believe strongly that honest conversations around difficult topics have the potential to change lives. It is for this reason we have lifted the silence on our personal struggles.

We really hope and trust that this episode will be of interest and help to you, as it was deeply cathartic to us in recording it.
