A mother to twin grown-up daughters, Charlotte and Samantha, and a Granma to Charlotte’s 6-month-old twins Georgia and Reggie, Lynn's passion for mental health awareness came through the battles she faced with Samantha, who suffered with anorexia in her teens and obsessive compulsive disorder in her early 20s.

More recently she has produced a short film co-written and acted in by her daughter Samantha , ‘A Day with OCD’ which is a satirical but equally sensitive look at just how debilitating living with OCD can be, It has been so well received that the next one ‘A Day with Anxiety’ is in the making.

Confidence is a state of being clear-headed either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Confidence comes from a Latin word 'fidere' which means "to trust"; therefore, having self-confidence is having trust in one's self. Kayleigh & Jess will look further into this during the episode and how events in their life have helped them to understand self-belief and the impact it can have on your life.
Forgiveness means different things to different people. Generally, however, it involves a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you might always be with you, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help free you from the control of the person who harmed you. Jess and Kayleigh-Paige will be discussing what forgiveness is and how forgiving yourself and others in your past/present can help you to feel free and grounded to move forwards.
We are so excited to welcome our second guest to the podcast... Jermaine Pennant. Jermaine has a new podcast out on the 3rd of May called 'Brutally Honest'. Ex Premier League football star Jermaine Pennant speaks ‘Brutally Honest’ about his life. From childhood trauma to being thrown into the spotlight as a school boy sporting sensation. Each episode will feature a guest who has an understanding of how a troubled upbringing can result in mistakes, severe consequences and how these traumas can make it difficult navigating and transitioning into adult life. Not forgetting the humorous sporting banter picked up along the way.
Jermaine hopes, with his experience of a broken home and lack of guidance that this podcast will help people in similar circumstances find the right path.
To put it simply, imposter syndrome is the experience of feeling like a phony—you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud—like you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through dumb luck.
