The Life of Bryony

'I needed someone good for me, mentally and emotionally.' Mental Health Check-in with Helen Flanagan


Listen Later

Welcome to Life of Bryony, where we explore life’s messier moments.


GUEST: HELEN FLANAGAN

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by actress Helen Flanagan for an honest mental health check-in, where we talk about her struggles with OCD, navigating motherhood, and finding peace after toxic relationships. Helen opens up about living with intrusive thoughts, the weight of “pure OCD,” and how it impacted her self-worth and sense of identity, especially post-pregnancy. She also shares candid insights into learning to love herself and breaking free from the pressure to be perfect.

This open conversation covers the importance of a supportive relationship, the courage it takes to be vulnerable, and how Helen redefined her mental health journey after years of self-doubt. She leaves us with a powerful reminder: we’re not alone in our struggles, and we all deserve to find someone who’s good for us mentally and emotionally.

Tune in to hear Helen’s journey of resilience, self-compassion, and her path to healing.
