This week, I sit down with Sean Lynch who hit the headlines back in 2016 when he inflicted severe, life changing self-harm wounds on himself whilst he was an inmate in Maghabury prison. He, in his own words 'gouged his own eyeballs out' while prison officers watched for over an hour, before intervening.
Sean has never spoken publicly about his story before, so he trusted me to help him share it. Seans' story is so complex, but it also needs to be heard.

In Part 1, we discuss Sean's life growing up, being 'one of the best footballers to come out of the North' & at aged just 14, was signed by Newcastle United for a 6 figure sum. Unfortunately, due to unacceptable behaviour, he admitted himself, his declining mental health and drug & alcohol abuse - he lost everything - including his eyesight.

In Part 2, released tomorrow, Sean discusses the days leading up to this life changing incident, the day itself, & his life now after it all.

In this weeks episode I sit down with comedian, actress, podcaster & milf - Diona Doherty. 

We went to school together 18 years ago, so our catch up was...lets say, interesting!

Diona & I had a brilliant chat discussing her IVF journey, opening up about her post natal depression that then led to her ongoing postnatal anxiety. We spoke about what she does if a crowd isn't laughing at her comedic set, donating your body to science, only for it to be shot out of a cannon, & I share my story of swapping my son at birth - it was a chaotic catch up, but it was so much fun!
