TV presenter and grief advocate Jeff Brazier knows that grief doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.

After losing Jade Goody, Jeff became a solo parent to two grieving boys while putting his own pain to one side to keep his family going. He shares what he learned about grief, parenting and the limits of trying to fix something that can’t be fixed.

Years later, Jeff has found a different way to understand his own emotions, and a deeper sense of what it means to simply keep showing up for the people you love.

This is a conversation about grief, fatherhood, emotional resilience and learning that sometimes being there is enough.

For Matt Willis, addiction was never the real problem. It was the solution to a pain he didn't know how to deal with.

In this solo episode, Matt talks about Mending, his new memoir tracing his lifelong relationship with addiction, recovery, and the work of understanding what sits underneath it.

He shares why he wrote the book, how he's learned to let go of resentment towards his past, and why recovery has to come first. Above all, Matt shares the hope at the heart of Mending: that another life is possible, no matter how stuck you feel.

This episode explores Addiction, Recovery, Healing, Forgiveness, and Hope.
