Singer and TV presenter Michelle Heaton's story is about more than addiction. It's about identity, loss, and finding your way back to yourself.

In this episode, Michelle shares how a BRCA2 diagnosis, surgical menopause, and addiction became deeply intertwined, and how recovery helped her reconnect with the person she thought she'd lost.

Together, we explore shame, healing, and why recovery is never just about one person.

This episode covers the following themes: Surgical Menopause & Identity, Active Addiction, Shame & Isolation, Recovery, and Supporting Loved Ones.

One of the UK's leading mental health advocates, Josh Connolly, joins us for a deeply honest conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, and what it really takes to break generational cycles.

Josh reflects on growing up with a father battling severe alcoholism, witnessing his death at just nine years old, and the lasting impact those experiences had on his own life. He shares how he found himself repeating the same patterns, the turning point that led him to choose recovery, and the work that has helped him heal over the past 14 years.

Together, we explore fatherhood, emotional regulation, and why learning to feel, not just survive, has transformed the way Josh lives, loves, and parents today.

This episode covers the following themes: Childhood Trauma, Active Addiction, Suicidal Ideation, Somatic Healing & Breathwork, and Breaking Generational Cycles.
