Season 2, Episode 15

I talk about why friendship and connection can feel like the missing piece when life gets heavy, from Toy Story nostalgia to what real support looks like in practice. We also unpack recovery lessons from a course in Newcastle, a powerful cancer resilience story, and my ongoing work to reframe PTSD as a significant life event with hard parts and real positives.
• Taylor Swift fandom and why Toy Story sparks nostalgia and hope
• song of the week as a way to focus on friendship and support
• leaning on the people who keep showing up even after we push them away
• a simple way to check on a mate by texting “thinking of you”
• the importance of connection and community for mental health recovery
• what Mark Hughes’ brain cancer journey teaches us about resilience
• keeping perspective while remembering that every struggle is relative
• reframing PTSD and other challenges as significant life events
• finding small positives alongside setbacks, including injury and rehab

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy
