This podcast was born out of my pandemic experience and the belief that there is always something to learn by listening to someone else's story. My story isn't special, it's simply the case that in 2020/2021, I felt angry, frustrated, resentful, trapped and unheard so in an attempt to articulate and reconcile those feelings, I decided to share the impact of the pandemic on my life and health via a podcast. Fast forward to now and a bit of 'processing' later, it's time for a new topic of conversation and, with the world as it is now, I can think of no better focus than 'Happiness'.

The Relative Perspective - Season 2 - Episode 2 - February

Just in time! February's episode is a book review of Adam Kay's latest book, Undoctored. It's a gentle introduction into the main theme of this season, health. I'm a huge fan of Adam Kay and this book did not disappoint; it chronicles his life after leaving medicine and his 'present day' stories are punctuated with flashbacks of his time as a student and as a practicing junior doctor. My thoughts on this book do not do it justice so I'll simply say this - Please pick it up because I couldn't put it down.

Adam discusses a number of topics in his latest book which some people may find triggering - he shares his deeply personal experiences of eating disorders and mental health issues to miscarriage and sexual assault and violence. I touch on these topics as part of my review so it's only right that I make you aware of them from the outset and point you in the direction of the following sites which you may find helpful if you're struggling with any of these things: https://www.sarsas.org.uk, https://www.talk-ed.org.uk, https://www.samaritans.org, https://www.tommys.org and https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9r-U55y5_QIVGIbtCh0tjAwQEAAYASAAEgKkofD_BwE.
