For episode one, I’m joined by Josh Franceschi from You Me At Six for an honest conversation about mental health, the pressures we put on ourselves, and what happens behind the version of somebody that everyone else gets to see.

The idea behind Fact & Feelings is simple. We start with a mental health fact, then use it to ask one honest question. No scripts, no perfect answers, just a conversation about the feelings and experiences that statistics can never fully capture.

Josh opens up about his own experiences, the pressures that can come with life in the public eye, growing older, understanding yourself better, and why having honest conversations about how we’re actually doing matters.

I couldn't have asked for a better guest to begin this series.

Fact & Feelings is part of For Younger You, a mental health project built around having the conversations we wish we'd had sooner.

If something in this episode resonates with you, please share it with somebody who might need to hear it.

And if you'd like to help keep For Younger You going, you can support the project here on Patreon. Your support helps us continue producing these conversations, visiting schools and, most importantly, keeping our mental health resources free for the people who need them.

Thank you for being here at the very beginning.
