This episode I was joined by an inspirational young lad by the name of Charlie Frost and he’s an ambassador for the Multi Schools Council but also a brilliant artist.

Charlie spoke to me about his Tourette’s diagnosis and how there needs to be more awareness and acceptance.

As we were talking about the importance of awareness month, it was brilliant as both Tourette’s and Mental Health month both coincided with each other.

Charlie spoke about his Autism and his message is that “he embraces being different because it makes him who he is”

Charlie spoke to me about some of his brilliant hobbies and interests such as how he got into drawing as a way to help him regulate and keep him calm.

Charlie spoke about his Pokémon interests and although I knew nothing about Pokémon i was glad he felt comfortable talking about this with me.

Charlie spoke to me about being the leader of the ADHD group for the MSC and this is something he is looking forward to doing.

A bit soon I will be releasing a separate clip of what Charlie said which I think is important for you all to hear.

This is a great listen and I enjoyed recording the episode with a great young lad.

For this episode i was joined by Daniel Jones better known as TheAspieWorld who has over 238k subscribers on Yotube for doing videos as a help guide for those who are Autistic.

Daniel spoke in depth about the diagnosis he got of Aspergers (as it was called at the time) and it finally made sense as to why he had those quirks and with the way he acted.

He spoke also about the Youtube Channell he started and how he didn't expect to get this amount of people viewing his videos, Daniel has now become one of the pioneers of the Autism community.

Daniel spoke about his childhood, what school was like and how he's now raising a little family, Daniel did also speak about what it's like to be a parent and Autistic which was an interesting insight for someone like myself wanting to have a little family of my own in future.

i throughly enjoyed doing this episode and i hope for those that watch his content that it gives a more hollistic side to him

This episode for Mental Health Month i was joined by Dilly who is a Multi Schools Ambassador and someone who's wise beyond her years.

Dilly spoke to me about the ups and downs she's had with her Mental Health but also her diagnosis with Dyslexia and the impact it's had on her day to day life.

Dilly also spoke to me about the brilliant work she's done with the Multi Schools Council and as a fellow ambassador it's great to see her shine in what she does.

Dilly spoke about her Autism diagnosis too and how having the diagnosis gave her a sense as to why she is the way she is.

this is a great episode and one i througly enjoyed recording

I was delighted by the return of a good friend of mine Sez Francis who’s the last guest to appear on this podcast for now.

It was a great general chat about Autism, Mental Health and all things to do surrounding that.

Sez spoke to me about paid employment and the need to get more Autistic people into paid work because the statistic is very low in that regard.

Sez spoke more in detail about what school was like for her and being singled out for simply being different.

Sez spoke about her first job and her journey to becoming a swimming teacher which she throughly enjoys helping those with all different abilities.

We both agreed that the conversation around those with LD and/or autism going into paid work needs to improve

Sez has spoke to me about her ambitions for the future, where she wants to be and it was really inspiring to hear this.

Sez spoke about her passion for not only swimming but her history channel and the podcast she does too.

What a great final episode :)

I was delighted to be joined by James Pearson from All We Think We Create.

He’s an author as well as emotional therapist

He spoke about helping people heal and connect more fully with their emotions.

James spoke to me about why he was inspired by a book that he read by Carl Jung, how a lot of his ideas resonated with him and how it prompted him to go into the field he wanted to go into.

James also spoke to me about emotional guidance and how people don’t have to experience hard times alone.

James spoke about the book he wrote to help others find themselves and self discovery.

James spoke about the training he received as a counsellor and how it helped him have empathy to explore the spiritual side of emotions and an open approach to emotional healing, acceptance and self awareness

Great to do this episode for sure :)

This episode I’m joined by Rohit who’s an Autism advocate, it was great to get his thoughts and we discussed a range of topics.

Rohit talked me to about what his school life was like and how he unfortunately experienced bullying simply for being different, it’s brave when someone opens up about something so personal to them.

Rohit talks to me about his Autism diagnosis, the quirks that make him unapologetically him and the way he can now freely express himself without judgement.

Rohit spoke about the importance of Mental Health and doing more to allow people to open up.

We talked about shared interests such as gaming and football so it was nice to see that we had stuff in common

One of the best episodes of the series
