“I realised I was physically alive and breathing, but on the inside feeling dead”, explains Maureen Sharphouse.

“I wouldn’t leave the hotel room with fear something would happen” describes Nicholas Seminario, founder of Dark Angel.

Sharing his journey of dealing with social anxiety, Nicholas began feeling uncomfortable in public as he entered middle school. His anxiety began to manifest as a constant fear of unlikely events and projections of negative outcomes.

Social anxiety now affecting his behaviour and decision-making, and convincing himself his excuses were okay, Nicholas reached a point of self-acceptance and launched his own company called Dark Angel to help others.

So, how did Nicholas navigate through social anxiety and get help? How did his experience with mental health motivate him to help others?

“I was on Mount Everest and the earthquake hit. I was 19 thinking, yeah that’s it” explains Alex Staniforth, Motivational Speaker, Adventurer and Founder of Mind Over Mountains.

At nine years old, Alex encountered a mild form of epilepsy which was the catalyst for a lot of challenges at school, including bullying, for being regarded as “different”. After developing a stammer which crippled Alex’s confidence and self-esteem, he discovered the outdoors.

With the drive to push boundaries, and thirst for adventure, Alex set out to summit Mount Everest in 2015. However, fate had an unexpected twist and whilst deep in the Khumbu Icefall, the April 2015 Nepal earthquake hit, and Alex was at the epicentre of danger. 

Combating the aftermath of this experience, soul-searching, survivor’s guilt, and acceptance followed. Testing his resolve and forcing him to confront his own fears and limitations.

Take your challenges and turn them into opportunities. Alex was told, “You must grow from this otherwise it's going to grow on you”.

“When I first got my scar, this is so heavy, but I was so excited to be alive”, describes Lucy Rout, Founder of Tabuu.

At age 25, Lucy was diagnosed with a rare pancreatic cancer, and after an eleven-hour surgery and reconstruction of her digestive system, she now takes medication for the rest of her life. Inspired by her journey, Tabuu offers pill cases for any occasion and was featured on Dragon’s Den. Steven Bartlett described her pitch as phenomenal.

Losing her father and grandfather, and receiving her cancer diagnosis all at the same time, Lucy began to question ‘When is this going to stop?’ With creams that made her feel her scar was a blemish, people staring when she wears a cropped top or bikini, and in tears trying to find role models of women with scars on their bodies. Lucy chose to be the change that she wants to see in the world.

Don’t waste so much time waiting, scared of trying to achieve unbelievably cool things. Even if you try and fail, keep going because you’ll be in the 1% that tried.

“June 12th, 2019, we were travelling to Joshua Tree and we were struck by a drunk and high driver going 90 miles an hour and Ruby and Hart were killed in the back seat” explains Colin Campbell. After the sudden loss of both his teenage children, Colin and his wife’s lives were destroyed.

Finding the Words, Working Through Profound Loss with Hope and Purpose, written by Colin is a powerful account of his journey through the darkness of grief. No one teaches us how to deal with grief. So, how did Colin learn to lean into the pain? How did he understand to stay engaged in life when not wanting to be alive anymore? How has his relationship with his wife changed by sharing this terrible bond?
