I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Natasha Silverbell, mother of three, former model, and CEO of Silver Bell Global, to explore parenting, identity, and the myth of the ‘perfect’ parent. Recorded at The Falcon, Natasha’s psycho-education retreat space, this episode explores what it really means to raise children in a world shaped by social media, pressure, and constant distraction while navigating work, recovery, single parenthood, and self-doubt. Natasha reflects on what she got right and what she’s learned about presence, boundaries, and repair. This conversation is about humility, nervous systems, and showing up as a human being - not an ideal. Whether you are a parent or a child, a carer, sibling, or someone who grew up feeling unseen, this episode is for you. Parenting is not about getting it right all the time. It’s about presence, honesty, and repair and how it’s never too late to begin again.

Natasha Silverbell is the CEO of Silver Bell Global, a former model and a leading voice in psycho-education and family systems. She works with parents, educators, and clinicians to build healthier, more connected family environments, grounded in nervous system awareness and emotional literacy. Natasha is a mother of three, and speaks candidly about recovery, work, and the realities of raising children without a blueprint.

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets psychiatrist and trauma pioneer Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of the seminal book The Body Keeps the Score. Recorded at Balliol College, Oxford, after he spoke at the Masters Event this wide-ranging conversation explores what trauma really is — beyond war and catastrophe and why connection, safety, and community are at the heart of healing. In this conversation they discuss how trauma lives in the body, how it shapes identity, and why silence and secrecy so often make suffering worse. From those suffering from dissociation, emotional numbness to chronic pain, immune illness, and loss of self, we hope this episode offers both clarity and hope as they explore what helps.

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is a psychiatrist, researcher, and educator who has spent over five decades studying trauma and its effects on the body and mind. He is the founder of the Trauma Research Foundation and the author of The Body Keeps the Score, one of the most influential books on trauma ever written.

In this Conversation: 

• What trauma actually is and why it’s not defined by the event alone, what is the difference between stress and trauma
• How the body ‘keeps the score’ when the mind tries to move on 
• Why secrecy and shame deepen trauma, and the difference between public trauma and private trauma
• “Trauma is not what happens to you. It’s what happens inside you when you are left alone with what happened.” How trauma shapes identity — especially when it is rooted in childhood
• Why talk therapy alone is often not enough - the healing power of groups and shared experiences
• Loss of self — and why recovery is still possible and why community is the strongest antidote to hopelessness
• “We don’t exist as individuals. We exist as members of a tribe. What to do if you feel alone, disconnected, or “beyond help”

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Edward Enninful, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer @ee72, and Author of his bestselling autobiography ‘A Visible Man’. In this episode they discuss visibility, vision – creative, emotive and physical and the knowledge and understanding of vulnerability. From the fullness of his life career, culture, health and using your voice and platform. 

Edward Enninful OBE is regarded as one of the leading voices in the creative industry working today and has helped bring widespread distinction to global fashion. Edward has a long-standing track record for delivering impactful storytelling and championing diverse and emerging talent within the industry. Born to a Ghanaian army officer and a seamstress, Edward became the youngest ever fashion editor of an international publication, i-D magazine, at 18. Quickly making his mark within the industry, by 1998  he became a contributing fixture at Italian Vogue, catapulting him into world recognition as a leading stylist and cultural contributor and spearheaded “The Black Issue” which featured only black women, and started the necessary dialogue amongst a wider public audience that continues today. Edward continued to use his voice with roles at American Vogue, W Magazine and most recently, British Vogue – becoming the only black person to serve as Editor-in-Chief in Vogue’s history and successfully transforming the publication into a diverse and inclusive multi-platform brand. Edward’s dedication to diversity in fashion was honoured with the presentation of an OBE. Unveiled in February 2025 Enninful is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of EE72, his global media and entertainment company.  EE72 develops and produces transformational content, immersive experiences and innovative products that challenge audiences to see the world through new eyes. 

In this Conversation: 

• From growing up in a traditional military family, moving from Ghana to London with his seamstress mother and siblings with two world views to being the youngest ever fashion editor at i-D Magazine. 
• Don’t take anything for granted. From losing almost everything at a young age he vowed never to be scared again. When you escape war, when you have lost everything you appreciate everything and fear nothing. 
• A visual person in a visual world he says “I don't fear many things in my life, but the one thing that I do experience a lot of fear with is my eyes” 
• You can’t be an expert if you don’t do your research. All aspects of your life should inspire you – always be curious. Have dreams – and build them people who will champion you.
• Work hard but equally work hard to take care of yourself. How to sustain health and well-being, make time to switch off as well as on. 

About I’m Fine:

“I’m Fine is more than a Podcast, it’s a service. A space for the millions of people navigating pain in silence, often without the resources or language we all deserve. The world isn’t set up to support people in pain and we want to help change that.” Jean Campbell.

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Mo Brings Plenty renowned Lakota actor, cultural advisor, advocate and rancher, widely recognized for his roles in Yellowstone and Jurassic World Dominion, to talk about pain, redemption, love and cultural healing. Mo Brings Plenty is deeply committed to authentic American Indian representation in media and the preservation of Indigenous cultures and traditions and continues to bring Indigenous voices to the forefront as the narrator of Leonardo DiCaprio’s acclaimed Sitting Bull documentary, which premiered in 2025 and shares the enduring legacy of one of history’s most revered
leaders.

Off-screen, Mo Brings Plenty is a passionate advocate for environmental and social justice. In April 2024, he received the prestigious New Horizon Award, a lifetime achievement honour at the Western Heritage Awards. In June 2025, Mo met King Charles III at SXSW London as part of the Love The Earth panel alongside Julian Lennon, representing Compassionate Studios and highlighting the power of storytelling to unite humanity and the natural world. Mo lives on a ranch in Kansas with his wife, Sara Ann, their nephew, 35 rescue animals, and 11 horses. Through his work and way of life, Mo continues to inspire reverence for Indigenous heritage and a deep respect for the bond between people, animals, and the land.

In this Conversation:

• How your upbringing, respect and honour for your ancestors will shape who you become.
• End each day asking: did I conduct myself in a way that makes God want to be in my presence. Hold yourself accountable.
• Nature shows us every day what rebirth, reality and spirituality is
• How the Lakota people honour their ancestors and culture through their braids
• How to hold the door open – from Taylor Sheridan and Yellowstone to being an advocate, creating opportunity, humanity and equality. We have more in common than we do in opposition. Pain helps us to protect. Fear is an illusion. Love is Endless. A true warrior protects
  rather than takes a life.
• The only thing we truly own is the destiny of our soul

This is the third episode in a collaborative series between I’m Fine podcast and the Medical Research Foundation.

In today’s conversation, Jean Campbell - who discusses her own experience of living with chronic pelvic pain - is joined by Professor Katy Vincent, an NHS consultant gynaecologist and leading researcher at the University of Oxford – to unpack the staggering scale and impact of pelvic pain in women and girls.

From untreated period pain in adolescence to endometriosis, painful sex, and fertility, they explore why women’s pain is still so often ignored, misdiagnosed, or minimised — and what needs to change in both healthcare and research.

The Medical Research Foundation is at the forefront of tackling often-overlooked health challenges, from chronic pain to areas of medical health that don’t receive the attention they deserve. Find out more about our mission: https://www.medicalresearchfoundation.org.uk/
