Mental Health travellers
Mental health is such a multi-facetted challenge - and treasure trove at the same time. Hence it is so good to learn from Nick’s guests and his own journey how they have grown, overcome and learned.
There are many incredible lessons to be found. I would love more links and resources in the show-notes of each episode to carry on the learnings.
