On The Mend

BRYONY GORDON: alcohol, living with OCD and walking towards wellness


Listen Later

This week, Matt is joined by journalist, columnist, writer and mental health ambassador, Bryony Gordon.


Bryony is full of life and joy and brings such positive energy with her wherever she goes - including this podcast!


But her life has not been without dark moments and in this episode she opens up about her alcohol addiction and how she got sober and came through the other side.


Bryony is the founder of Mental Health Mates - a peer support group for those who are struggling with their mental health and need to talk and walk. She talks to Matt about how this came about and how it has grown into something she could never have imagined.


They also discuss parenthood, friendships and the joys of Body Camp - which both Matt and Bryony have experienced and found invigorating.





We cover a lot of serious topics in this episode - and reference some organisations who offer help and advice. You can find links to those below - as well as some other websites you might find useful, if you have been effected by any of the things you have heard in this episode.
