• HEALING 101: How to Cope with Grief and Loss with James Withey

  Grief doesn’t follow a timeline — and it certainly doesn’t play by the rules. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a version of yourself, grief can show up in unexpected ways and stay longer than we’d like. In this episode, I speak with James Withey — therapist, speaker, and author of How to Get to Grips with Grief — to talk about what it really means to live with loss. James shares his own experience of bereavement and depression, and together we explore how grief can shape our mental health, our relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves.This conversation gently unpacks the myths around moving on, the importance of emotional expression, and how we can show up for others (and ourselves) when grief hits. James brings so much honesty, compassion, and even some lightness to the conversation — and it’s a powerful reminder that grief isn’t something we need to fix. It’s something we need to understand.Buy James's book on grief: https://amzn.eu/d/ahBrRlgFollow us on social media for more insights, behind-the-scenes moments, and community discussions.

Eleanor examines why some mental health conditions, like bipolar disorder, are more widely accepted and treated, while others, such as narcissistic personality disorder, are misunderstood, overlooked, or even celebrated—despite the harm they can cause.Drawing from personal experiences and stories shared by friends, Eleanor offers a raw and nuanced perspective on the cultural biases that shape how we perceive mental illness. She explores the importance of questioning these stigmas, promoting empathy, and offering compassionate support to those in need.Find Eleanor:Website: https://www.eleanoranstruther.com/Instagram: @eleanoranstrutherFollow us on social media for more insights, behind-the-scenes moments, and community discussions.
