Today I'm joined by spoken word artist Tom Foolery (Tomos Roberts). Tom is the genius behind the viral piece " The Great realisation" which was a post-pandemic bedtime story that captured the hearts of millions.
Tom and I dive into his poetry journey, discussing the downside of success, and how he owes a lot of his newfound audience to English teachers.
This is a great listen to anyone who loves writing and the creative arts. As always mental health themes are discussed throughout.
Sorry for the absence, but I'm back and I love you all

EP30: Brace yourself for loss with Joey Kolirin
Today I joined up with Joey Kolirin to discuss the passing of his father.
Joey shared the hard authentic truths about living with a family member who has a terminal illness. We touched on the weird culture around grief, and how those messages of sincerity dry up as life moves on.
It was interesting to hear from the perspective of someone who has lost a father and is now a father of his own, and how the trauma of his childhood has shaped Joey's decisions and the person he is today.
