🎙️ Episode Title: "Still Here: Suicide Prevention, Survival & Hope with Clare Chambers"
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Mike & Dave sits down with Clare Chambers, a senior suicide prevention therapist at James’ Place in Liverpool. Clare brings a wealth of lived and professional experience to the conversation from her 23 years as a probation officer to her current role supporting men in suicidal crisis.
A survivor herself, Clare openly shares her journey of living with Bipolar Disorder and how her own suicide attempt led to a life-changing career pivot into counselling. Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and radical empathy.
Clare also reflects on her involvement in the Baton of Hope Manchester tour alongside former guest Frankie Feeney, offering an inside view into one of the UK’s most impactful suicide awareness movements.
This episode is a deep dive into what it really means to save lives, not just clinically, but human-to-human.

58 min - From Struggle 2 Strength Podcast - With Andy 'Bish' Bishop
Send us Fan Mail
This week we have Andy Bishop aka Bish, what an inspiration he is and we hope you get as much as we have from this epic episode.
Below is a bit of info on ManGang Uk which Andy started and continues to build.
How it startedManGang was founded by a man who struggled with poor mental health all of his adult life. Feeling the experience was something no one wanted to talk about, it was bottled up for a long time through fear of judgement.
After losing a friend to suicide in 2017, he set out to break the stigma that led his friend to feeling so isolated and alone. Our aim is to tell men all across the country that they needn’t be alone.
There is support out there for people who feel they have no one, and we are here to supply it.Support the show

About From The Shed
From the publisher's feed
From The Shed
Formerly From Struggle 2 Strength. Same voices. Same honesty. A bigger conversation.
Brought to you by Dave and Mike, two former…
British Army servicemen whose lives have taken them through trauma, addiction, recovery, resilience and everything in between.
Dave survived the blast of a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan and later faced his own battle with gambling addiction. Mike emerged from the grip of drug and alcohol addiction and is now over three and a half years in recovery. Their individual journeys remain at the heart of the podcast, not as polished success stories, but as lived proof that people can rebuild, reconnect and keep going.
After nearly 4,000 downloads as From Struggle 2 Strength, the podcast is entering a new chapter.
From The Shed keeps the raw honesty, humour and openness that listeners connected with, but widens the conversation beyond struggle alone. Each episode brings real talk about life, recovery, relationships, mental health, parenting, identity, everyday frustrations, daft tangents and the strange little moments that make us human.
This is not a podcast pretending to have all the answers.
It is two mates pulling up a chair, sticking the kettle on and talking openly about the things people often keep bottled up. Sometimes it is deep. Sometimes it is funny. Sometimes it goes completely off track. But it is always honest.
For the listeners who have been with us from the beginning, we are still here. Still talking. Still rising. We have just moved into the shed.
Pull up a chair. Say what’s on your mind. Welcome to From The Shed.
