In the second episode of this series, I have a wonderful conversation with author ⁠Jessica Nixon⁠ (Levon Rider), to discuss how her writing and the experience of her grandma's passing was influenced by her struggles with ADHD, severe anxiety and depression.

We also explore a non-medicated treatment for severe depression: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Jessica's experiences throughout the sessions. For those book lovers out there, Jessica additionally gives us an amazing insight into her upcoming book: Someone To You.

In the first episode of the series, I sit down with the fantastic organisation ⁠⁠Trans Strike Back⁠⁠ to have a discussion how gender transition, trans rights and societal perspective directly impacts their mental health and psychological state.

We delve into conversations about puberty blockers, GP response, finding a family within the trans community and why they have decided to establish the organisation, Trans Strike Back.

There is also a beautiful surprise at the end, so stay tuned for that!
