Salima Saxton is a bad patient

Listen Later

Last year, actor, author, life coach and professional mad woman (she co-hosts the Women Are Mad podcast with psychotherapist Jennifer Cox) Salima Saxton got ill. Obviously she started a Substack about it and Bad Patient – in which she writes about being ill with raw honesty, humour, insight and on her own terms – was born.

Salima chats to our Mick about illness: how we perceive it, how we talk about it, how we don’t have to meet other people’s expectations when dealing with it and how it can change our perspective on, well, everything.
Also, bonus chat: tricky dads.
