In this episode, I’m joined by Mathew Hulbert for an open and heartfelt conversation about grief, loss, and what coping really looks like. Mathew shares how comfort eating became a way to manage overwhelming feelings, and how, over time, he began to rebuild his sense of self-worth.
We talk about the importance of telling the people around us that we love them, learning to disagree without losing compassion, and dealing with social media abuse. Mathew also shares his experience of coming close to death and how that moment changed his understanding of what it means to be alive.
If you’ve been affected by any of these issues in this episode, call Samaritans for free on their 24-hour phone line on 116 123.
