Talk About It

This week, I spoke with singer/songwriter Adam Loughran about his mental health journey, the song he wrote in honour of his friends, the beauty of lyrics and the meaning behind his music. A beautiful and honest conversation which brings to light that we are all human - we all suffer with mental health.
