Show Notes

WARNING: The last segment of this episode contains conversation around suicide. This week, we talk about songs you’re embarrassed to admit are on your playlist, the hell of being backed-up on holiday, and we welcome Aunty Kez for a special segment, where she delivers some story time gold that had us in fits. And to close out, Mel shares the story of UK-based mental health campaigner Ben West, who started a beautiful suicide prevention initiative in memory of his younger brother, Sam, who passed away in 2018, aged just 15. You can follow Ben on Instagram here and please check out Reasons To Stay here, and please share it with someone who might need it. Follow us and get in touch on Instagram here and Facebook here.
