    EP 32: Hidden Effects Of A Vape Addiction, Healing From Trauma & Mental Health | Lily Ford Opens Up

    Welcome to episode 32 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! I sit down with the lovely Lily Ford in this episode, a prominent voice in anti-vaping campaigns who’s been featured extensively on Australian news.  Lily shares her raw and honest story of how she became addicted to vaping and the hidden traumas that fuelled it. We dive deep into the emotional and psychological effects of her addiction, uncovering that vaping was just the surface issue of a much larger battle with past trauma. Lily also opens up about her transformative healing journey, exploring the emotional work that led to her recovery. She shares her unique insights on mental health awareness and how she learned to address the root causes of her struggles. We unpack how addiction often masks deeper pain, and what it took for her to confront that pain head-on. This episode isn’t just about Lily’s battle with vaping—it’s about the broader human experience of overcoming trauma, facing mental health challenges, and finding the path to healing.  Follow Lily on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellbeingwithlily/ Thank you to Melrose Future Lab!

    EP 30: Timothy Smith From MAFS Opens Up About His Incredible Story

    Welcome to episode 30 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! I sit down with Timothy Smith today, the familiar face from Married at First Sight (MAFS), who shares a gripping and emotional journey that goes far beyond reality TV. Tim opens up about a time in his life when he was involved in illegal activities, including flying a helicopter without a license and trafficking weed from Canada into the U.S. His risky decisions caught up with him, leading to his arrest and time behind bars.  But the challenges didn’t stop there. While in jail, Tim faced heartbreaking losses—his mother passed away, and soon after, his brother took his own life. Despite these devastating experiences, Timothy found a way to turn his life around. Appearing on Married at First Sight was one of those things that helped change the trajectory of his life. I loved this one. Shout out to my mum for telling me about Tim. She wouldn’t shut up about how amazing he was and that I had to have him on the show. Enjoy fam!

    EP 29: World’s Most Famous Twin Models Open Up About Being Awfully Bullied… | Jordan & Zac Stenmark

    Welcome to episode 29 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Today I’m joined by two of my really good friends, Jordan and Zac Stenmark, who are not just the largest twin male models in the world but also remarkable individuals with an inspiring story. We dive into their sporty upbringing and the challenges they faced growing up with dyslexia. Jordan and Zac candidly share their experiences of being bullied at school for not being able to read, making school life a constant struggle. Jordan referred to these times in the episode as “terror”. Despite these difficulties, they turned their challenges into the drive that led them to where they are today. I’ve known Jordan and Zac for years, and we used to catch up every morning over coffee at our favourite cafe in Bondi, The Depot. Our conversations often drifted into deep, interesting topics, and this episode felt like a continuation of those daily chats. I loved this one fam and I hope you do too!

    EP 28: Solitary Confinement To Filming Movies With Chris Hemsworth | CJ Bloomfield’s Insane Story

    Welcome to episode 28 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!  Wow, wow, wow… This episode is probably my favourite to date.  I sit down with CJ Bloomfield, a man whose life story sounds like something straight out of a movie. CJ's journey is nothing short of extraordinary, going from a life immersed in crime and gang culture to being sentenced to 28 years in prison. However, fate had other plans for him—he served just 2 years after his two biggest charges were dropped. But what CJ did with those 2 years is what makes his story truly remarkable. While in solitary confinement, CJ began honing his acting skills, using the graffiti on his cell wall as an imaginary camera. Little did he know that this practice would set him on a path that would change his life forever. Two years after leaving prison, CJ landed a role in a movie alongside Chris Hemsworth, and his life took a complete 180. Now, he's on track to becoming a major A-list celebrity with some massive projects in the works. We dive deep into his incredible transformation, discussing the lessons CJ learned along the way, the healing journey he's undertaken, and what it takes to turn your life around in the most profound way possible. I could write a full book recapping this episode but I will leave it there - you will just have to tune in! I’m excited to hear your thoughts.
