    Wonderfully Brutal Honesty
    How are you really? Has become my new slogan. I have slowed down my hellos with this to take the time to really see the people in my life. And to let them know they are seen. This isn’t always reciprocated but it has helped to clarify my relationships. Love this show. Loving the focus on addiction.

    Crystal clear stories told with intelligence, love, humor captures an important need in many places about this insidious brain disease: talking about it across generations too! Getting involved in a community that understands is so healthy. Camilla’s courage as a public person is a strong example of fighting the stigma around brain disease. Thank you Bryney Gordon and crew!

    Amazing
    Bryony is simply amazing. ALL her books are a MUST read.
  • Ela Rozas
    Pretty Great
    I had to listen to this for a school assignment and I enjoyed listening to everyone's joruney. Throughout the show they mention what each person has gone through and explain situations that any person listening could relate to. It was brutally honest - which I appreciated. Sometimes you need something upfront and interesting to listen to in order to get your life together. Pretty neat podcast.
  • ElaineLeeYu
    Great podcast -- more episodes please!
    I've been subscribed to this podcast for the last year and absolutely adore it. My favorite one is the one with Mandy Stevens, I've listened to it about three 8 times because it is so full of insight and condensed with information. I've also particularly enjoyed the episode with Stephen Fry and Prince Harry. Bryony Gordon is a perfect host -- kind, funny and empathetic given her own struggles with OCD. I hope this podcast continues and produces more episodes. I would definitely like to hear more episodes (with or without celebrities) and broaden the scope to hear more about, for example, the eight different kinds of schizophrenia, dissociative disorder, hallucinations associated with dementia or Parkinson’s disease, etc. I've also really enjoyed hearing from British experts and celebrities, but Bryony could also connect with American ones as well! Or anyone from any country for that matter. Thanks to Bryony, guests, and everyone involved with this production to fighting stigma and helping people!

    Very nurturing podcast.
    Bryoni is delightful and draws interesting conversation for her guests. Very helpful for those of us who struggle with mental illness.

    Wonderful and for once honest
    I love this podcast. It's the only only on that discusses with well-known public figures their stories and experiences with mental health challenges. A totally refreshing and novel approach. I learn something useful ever time.

    No one is exempt BUT...so much more to do!
    There is a big part of me that is encouraged to see certain globally recognized face share that “privilege”, of any sort, doesn’t mean immunity when it comes to mental health. But there is still another part of me that is concerned about what this is going to do about making more resources available regardless to “privilege”. I can’t help but wonder the advances that might be accomplished when/if the barrier of “privileged” is reduced if not eliminated!
  • TameFrog
    Great interview, terrible title.
    Prince Harry is doing great work and this is a very good interview but using the word Mad in the tile works against the whole idea of destimatizing mental health care.
  • Rae22202
    Great podcast!
    I really loved the first episode! I found the things Prince Harry said to be very profound and almost shocking. But the host kept it very light and warm. It didn't make the issue of mental illness seem scary.
