    From an MS Diagnosis to Bodybuilding | Zoe Fraser

    What happens when a life-changing diagnosis becomes the beginning of a new chapter rather than the end of one? In this episode of Wise Words, I sit down with Zoe Fraser to hear her remarkable journey from being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to discovering bodybuilding and pushing herself physically despite living with the condition. Zoe shares the difficult journey that eventually led to her MS diagnosis, including her frustrations with the NHS and the opportunities she believes were missed along the way. We talk about what it was like receiving a diagnosis that would change her life, learning to live with the uncertainty of MS, and the physical and emotional challenges that came with it. But Zoe's story didn't stop with her diagnosis. She went on to discover bodybuilding, finding strength, discipline and purpose through training and proving that living with MS didn't mean giving up on challenging herself. This is a conversation about health, resilience, bodybuilding, adapting to circumstances you never expected, and refusing to allow a diagnosis to become your entire identity. 🎙️ Wise Words features honest conversations with people from all walks of life, exploring the experiences, challenges and perspectives that shape who we become. 📩 Have a story worth sharing?

    From Losing His Child to Helping Other Men | Jonathan Shaw

    What happens when losing contact with your child pushes you to the point where you no longer know how to carry on? In this episode of Wise Words, Chris sits down with Jonathan Shaw for an honest conversation about fatherhood, relationship breakdown, men's mental health and rebuilding your life when everything seems to be falling apart. Jonathan shares his experience of a difficult separation and the ongoing pain of being unable to see his child. He speaks openly about the impact this had on his mental health, including periods of severe depression when he questioned whether life was worth living. Eventually, Jonathan walked through the doors of Andy's Man Club. What began as seeking somewhere to talk became an important part of his recovery. After finding support among other men experiencing their own struggles, Jonathan has since been selected to run a branch himself — giving him the opportunity to offer others the same support that once helped him. But his challenges haven't ended there. Jonathan also discusses building a new life and family with his partner, his ongoing digestive health problems, his frustrations with his experience of the NHS, and the pressure he's faced from his employer while struggling with his health. This is a conversation about fatherhood, loss, depression, starting again and what can happen when a man finally says, "I'm not okay." 🎙️ Wise Words features honest conversations with people from all walks of life, exploring the experiences, challenges and perspectives that shape who we become. 📩 Have a story worth sharing?

    From Prison to Fighting Social Services | Kieran Thomas

    In this powerful episode of Wise Words, I sit down with Kieran Thomas to explore a life shaped by trauma, crime, prison, fatherhood and an ongoing campaign for change. Kieran shares what it was like growing up in a family where crime was encouraged, the devastating experience of losing his younger brother as a child, and how his own choices eventually led him to prison. Following his release, he became a father, but his journey took another unexpected turn when social services became involved from the moment his child was born. Kieran discusses his personal experiences with the family court and social services system, explaining why he believes he and his family were treated unfairly. Today, he has dedicated himself to supporting other families and campaigning for what he sees as greater transparency and accountability. This is an honest conversation about childhood trauma, personal responsibility, rehabilitation, fatherhood and the determination to turn painful experiences into a purpose. Please note: The views and allegations discussed in this episode are those of Kieran Thomas and are shared from his own experiences and perspective. Have a story worth sharing?

    Funeral directors are often the people we meet at one of the worst moments of our lives, yet very few of us ever stop to think about what their job is really like. In this episode of Wise Words, I sit down with Jacob Walsh, a funeral director and owner of his own independent funeral business, to discuss the realities of working with the dead.

    Understanding the World of Auditing | The Laughing Auditor

    Auditors are among the most divisive figures on social media. Some see them as holding public bodies to account, while others believe they deliberately seek confrontation. In this episode of Wise Words, I sit down with The Laughing Auditor to explore the reality behind auditing and the man behind one of the UK's most recognisable auditing channels. We discuss how he first became involved in auditing, the positive and negative interactions he's experienced with police officers, the misconceptions people have about auditors, and why he believes public accountability is so important. The conversation also explores wider issues affecting society today, including freedom, public perception, trust in authority, and why respectful dialogue has never been more important.

    Rebuilding Life After Rock Bottom | Nathan Tregonning

    In this episode of Wise Words, Nathan Tregonning shares the deeply personal story of how a series of life-changing events led him to rock bottom.
