  • 13: My Family

    Welcome back! 

    I can only apologise after being away for a fair while. I think it was worth the wait though, even if it's just for the new coloured logo!

    For the first episode of the new season I thought it would be nice to get an insight into my family. My Dad joins me and my Sister as we discuss our struggles with mental illness.

    Thanks for sticking around you lovely people, enjoy!
