I had a lovely guest here at Grab A Cuppa.

The wonderful Jas Morris from the rock band Firekind.
It was an absolute pleasure chatting to him.

We talked about music, daily life, grief and the future personally and professionally.

My name is Cat Wright.

I am 34 years old, wife and mum of two wonderful children.
Life can get very challenging and for me, it has been an ongoing battle with my mental health and physical health.

I suffer from OCD, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression with suicidal thoughts and Complex PTSD just to name a few and also Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy, ME, Migraines with stroke like symptoms and other physical difficulties.

I am so lucky to still be alive!

There are still alot of stigma surrounding mental illness which I think it's due to lack of knowledge and perhaps ignorance sometimes from some people.
Together we can pick each other up!

Last year I created a personal blog called 'Colour Me Mentally Ill' which consisted of me sharing my difficulties with mental and physical health to end the stigma specially surrounding mental illness.
I slowly started getting a steady following and the support has been unbelievable.
For the last 6 months I have been self educating on the subjects of Mental Health Studies, Psychology and Journalism. I have been doing online courses and I have been making my own research for this podcast.
I decided to call this podcast "Grab A Cuppa" because I wanted to keep friendly and informal but also because I refer to myself as a Portuguese person with a Yorkshire twang.

A good natter always starts with a good cuppa.

Oh and a biscuit.

Hope you keep listening.
