On The Mend

Golf YouTuber Rick Shiels built a career in front of the camera, but behind the scenes, he was struggling to switch off, whether it was alcohol, his phone, or the weight of what strangers thought of him.

Rick shares how changing his relationship with alcohol and social media helped him become a healthier, more present dad, and how he learned to stop letting online hate define him.

From learning to set boundaries to questioning why we give strangers so much power over our lives, Rick's story is about taking back control of your attention, your relationships and your own sense of self.

Singer-songwriter Tom Grennan spent years believing alcohol and drugs were part of what made him who he was. Walking away from them meant facing a bigger question: who was he without them?

Tom shares the moment he knew he had to change, the work it took to forgive himself, and how becoming a dad gave him a new perspective on the life he wanted to build. Rather than losing his personality, he found himself feeling more alive, more present, and more connected to the people he loves.

He also talks about finding an unexpected outlet in golf, where time with mates has brought release, connection and some of life’s most important conversations. For Tom, recovery has become about more than leaving the past behind. It’s about discovering what makes life worth showing up for.

Tom's new single ‘Wrapped In Gold' is out now

TV presenter and grief advocate Jeff Brazier knows that grief doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.

After losing Jade Goody, Jeff became a solo parent to two grieving boys while putting his own pain to one side to keep his family going. He shares what he learned about grief, parenting and the limits of trying to fix something that can’t be fixed.

Years later, Jeff has found a different way to understand his own emotions, and a deeper sense of what it means to simply keep showing up for the people you love.

This is a conversation about grief, fatherhood, emotional resilience and learning that sometimes being there is enough.

After decades in the spotlight as a broadcaster, comedian, and writer, Iain Lee found himself in a moment that would change and possibly save, more than one life.

In this powerful episode, Iain recounts the night a caller to his late-night radio show shared that he had taken an overdose. What followed was a raw, real-time crisis that showed the power of being present and how connection, even through a radio line, can save someone’s life.

Matt Willis sits down with Professor David Nutt, one of the world's leading experts on drugs and the brain, to answer a question so many people carry in silence: why can't I just stop?

David explains how addiction changes the brain, why willpower isn't always enough, and why understanding the biology can help replace shame with compassion.

He also explores the emerging science of psychedelics and their potential to help people break free from deeply rooted patterns. Your brain has been changed. That's why this is hard. But it can recover, and the science is beginning to show us how.

This episode explores Addiction, The Brain & Recovery, Shame & Stigma, and Psychedelics.

Mental health and dementia advocate Jordan Adams grew up watching Frontotemporal Dementia slowly take his mum away. Years later, a genetic test revealed that he carries the same mutation.

Jordan shares the unique grief of losing someone while they're still here, and what it means to live knowing he may develop the same disease that took his mum.

But rather than allowing that uncertainty to define his life, Jordan has turned it into a reason to live more fully. He talks about finding purpose through advocacy, carrying his mum's spirit with him, and why his diagnosis has become what he calls a “license to live”.

This is a conversation about grief, mortality, purpose, and choosing what you do with the time you have.

Themes: Frontotemporal Dementia, Grief, Genetic Testing, Mortality, and Finding Purpose.
