    Send us a message with any of your thoughts, questions and feedback I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Nikki Lilly - award-winning creator, British charity campaigner, social media personality, model author and founder of the Butterfly AVM Charity. In this episode Nikki shares her experience growing up with a rare and life-threatening AVM, she explains what this is and how she navigated childhood between hospitals and surgeries, how living with chronic illness that has shaped her identity, how she has shaped her outlook on life and how she found escape, joy and creativity. From launching her YouTube channel to becoming a powerful voice for representation, Nikki reflects on visibility, vulnerability, and the support and quiet strength that inspires her. This honest and intimate discussion explores resilience and choosing to live fully, even when life looks nothing like you imagined. From beauty as armour, creativity as survival to compassion and the importance of play, rest and meeting yourself where you are this is a powerful reminder that living fully doesn’t mean living perfectly. Nikki had a carefree childhood, until she was diagnosed with AVM aged 6 when her world flipped upside down and went from a normal childhood to hospitals, surgery, home. But Nikki is extraordinary not ordinary - in 2012 the Butterfly AVM Charity was founded, in 2013, then aged only eight, she started to share her experiences of living with a 'visible difference' on YouTube covering life with: chronic illness, bullying, mental health, baking and beauty. She has won many awards for her courage, her cooking and creativity. In 2016 she won CBBC’s Junior Bake Off and presented the CBBC show ‘Nikki Lilly Meets’. In 2019 won an Emmy for ‘Best Factual Programme’ and was the youngest ever recipient of the BAFTA Special Award. In 2020 she published her first book, ‘Nikki Lilly Come on Life: Highs, Lows and How to Live Your Best Teen Like’. In 2024 she became a patron of Face Equality International, an alliance of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), charities and support groups which are working at national, regional or international levels to promote the campaign for ‘face equality’. In 2025 Nikki spoke at the United Nation Human Rights Council about her experiences of facial differences and was honoured as ‘Fashion and Beauty Creator of the Year’ on TikTok, partnered with L’Oreal at the Cannes Film Festival and was one of the first people with a facial difference to walk a show in Paris Fashion Week, with Vogue calling it the most powerful moment of the show and at the end of 2025 announced her podcast ‘Live a Little’ where she talks about the in-between of modern life, where you can have a lot on but still wondering if you are missing something deeper. Her journey has garnered recognition and numerous accolades, including: - The WellChild Award for Courage (2013), presented by Prince Harry - The Princess Diana Award for Exceptional Bravery (2014) - The Pride of Britain Award for Child of Courage (2016) - Winner of CBBC’s “Junior Bake Off” (2016) - Nominated for a BAFTA for her work on the CBBC series “My Life: Born to Vlog” - Winner of the 2018 Emmy Award for Best Factual Program - Japan Grand Prix Award for her documentary work About I’m Fine: I’m Fine is a Podcast hosted by Model, Writer and Mental Health Advocate Jean Campbell it’s a safe space and platform where high-performance people talk honestly, often humorously, about their life experiences and healing as Jean explores the inner world behind their outward success.

Whether you are a parent or a child, a carer, sibling, or someone who grew up feeling unseen, this episode is for you. Parenting is not about getting it right all the time.

    Dr. Bessel van der Kolk: Trauma, the Body, and the Power of Community

    Send us a message with any of your thoughts, questions and feedback I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets psychiatrist and trauma pioneer Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of the seminal book The Body Keeps the Score. Recorded at Balliol College, Oxford, after he spoke at the Masters Event this wide-ranging conversation explores what trauma really is — beyond war and catastrophe and why connection, safety, and community are at the heart of healing. In this conversation they discuss how trauma lives in the body, how it shapes identity, and why silence and secrecy so often make suffering worse. From those suffering from dissociation, emotional numbness to chronic pain, immune illness, and loss of self, we hope this episode offers both clarity and hope as they explore what helps. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is a psychiatrist, researcher, and educator who has spent over five decades studying trauma and its effects on the body and mind. He is the founder of the Trauma Research Foundation and the author of The Body Keeps the Score, one of the most influential books on trauma ever written. In this Conversation:  What trauma actually is and why it’s not defined by the event alone, what is the difference between stress and traumaHow the body ‘keeps the score’ when the mind tries to move on Why secrecy and shame deepen trauma, and the difference between public trauma and private trauma“Trauma is not what happens to you. It’s what happens inside you when you are left alone with what happened.” How trauma shapes identity — especially when it is rooted in childhoodWhy talk therapy alone is often not enough - the healing power of groups and shared experiencesLoss of self — and why recovery is still possible and why community is the strongest antidote to hopelessness“We don’t exist as individuals. We exist as members of a tribe. What to do if you feel alone, disconnected, or “beyond help”About I’m Fine: I’m Fine is a Podcast hosted by Model, Writer and Mental Health Advocate Jean Campbell is a safe space and platform where high-performance people talk honestly about their life experiences and healing as Jean explores the inner world behind their outward success.

From losing almost everything at a young age he vowed never to be scared again. When you escape war, when you have lost everything you appreciate everything and fear nothing. A visual person in a visual world he says “I don't fear many things in my life, but the one thing that I do experience a lot of fear with is my eyes” You can’t be an expert if you don’t do your research. All aspects of your life should inspire you – always be curious. Have dreams – and build them people who will champion you.Work hard but equally work hard to take care of yourself. How to sustain health and well-being, make time to switch off as well as on. About I’m Fine: “I’m Fine is more than a Podcast, it’s a service.
