In this episode I got the chance to sit down with the incredible, Antonio Ferreria. Activist, disruptor, consultant and public speaker (whilst also being a student), Antonio takes me through his lived experience with schizophrenia and how telling his story transformed his life. Like a lot us when we first hear the mental health diagnoses we shake our heads and say it must be a mistake, we're not like other people who actually have a mental illness. Of course when we begin to realise that we are actually in need of help and start accepting it and owning it, we see the change in our progress and recovery; but Antonio also appreciates these phases as part of that journey and understands they made him the person who he is today.
