In this powerful episode of the Brave Everyday Podcast, I am joined by Jack for an honest and deeply moving conversation about mental health, transformation, ADHD, fatherhood, fitness, resilience and finding purpose after rock bottom.

Jack shares how he reached one of the lowest points of his life, struggling with severe depression, suicidal thoughts, homelessness, weight gain and feeling completely lost. At his heaviest, Jack reached 33 and a half stone and believed his life was heading in one direction.

But one call changed everything.

Jack opens up about the support that helped save his life, the mindset shift that followed, and how he went on to lose a life-changing amount of weight, step into boxing, become an ambassador, inspire others and rebuild himself from the inside out.

This conversation explores the reality of ADHD, being labelled as a “naughty kid”, the power of kindness, the love of being a parent, body image, setting goals, and why doing the uncomfortable things can be the very thing that changes your life.

Jack’s story is raw, honest, emotional and inspiring. A reminder that your past may shape you, but it does not have to define your future.

Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it is action despite it.

Louise shares her deeply honest journey through workplace bullying, sexual harassment, anxiety, panic attacks and burnout, and how cold water therapy, breathwork and nervous system work helped her slowly come back to herself.

Louise also shares how she left a successful sales career to follow her passion, build a business rooted in lived experience, and now helps others regulate, heal and reconnect with themselves.

This conversation is raw, inspiring and full of powerful reminders that bravery is not about being fearless. Sometimes it is simply showing up, doing it scared, and choosing to keep going.

Luke shares the story behind his documentary on Dambe, a Nigerian combat sport, and what it felt like to become the first white European/Westerner to take part.

We also talk about Luke’s background in wrestling, his medieval combat documentary, future projects, becoming a dad, and why learning from failure can be more powerful than winning.
