Say It How It Is Ffion Lewis and Gwen Crabb

On today’s episode of Say It How It is, Ffion and Gwen are joined by Founder of Speakeasy Club and mental health advocate Simon Clarke.
Simon founded Speakeasy Club following his own struggles with depression and anxiety over a number of years, with the aim of creating an environment where people feel comfortable to be vulnerable and open up about their own thoughts and feelings. For Simon, it took hitting rock bottom to find a way out. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Through Speakeasy Club, resources and conversations are being made more readily available to access in your time of need. And through Simon sharing his own story on this episode, we hope you can see that no matter what you are going through and how you feel, you are not alone and there is always a way out.
During this episode, expect to learn about the power of words and the lasting impact they can have on someone, the benefits and many forms of therapy, why being curious is so important, and so much more.

On todays episode of Say It How It Is, Ffion and Gwen are joined by Natalie Riddler, founder of the Morgans Army Charity. On June 28th 2023, Natalie and her husband Matt tragically lost their wonderful little boy Morgan after a long and hard battle with Cancer. Throughout Morgan’s journey, Matt and Natalie fought unbelievably hard to help their son get the diagnosis and treatment he deserved, and in doing so realised that there was a missing piece in supporting children, parents and families that are suffering with an ongoing fight against childhood cancer. From this sparked Morgans Army, a charity set up with the tag line “no one fights alone”, aiming to bridge some of these gaps, and help to provide families with support during the toughest of times.
During the episode, Natalie shares openly the highs and lows of Morgan’s story, shares her favourite memories but also discusses how difficult it was and still is for them as a family. She explains how important family is and expresses the meaning behind her values, after what her family has sadly experienced.
There is incredible work being doing at Morgan’s Army and everyone at Say It How It Is hugely supports people just like Natalie, who are trying to make a difference to those in need!

On today's episode the girls are joined by Drew Povey, ex-headmaster, leadership expert and all round legend. Throughout his career Drew has experienced many highs, lows, successes and setbacks, all of which have taught him valuable lessons around the power of perspective and “owning your shit”.
During his early career, Drew gained a plethora of experience in the field of rugby league coaching, before making the switch to becoming a headteacher, at Harrop Fold School, famously known for starring in “Educating Yorkshire”.
The leadership expert and author now spends his time sharing his experiences and learnings, through delivering workshops and mental skills sessions to sports teams, coaches, businesses and entrepreneurs.
You won’t find a man more real and genuine than this guy, and his insight into hardship, ownership and growth is a breath of fresh air.

In today’s bonus episode, Ffion and Gwen deep dive into the questions left by each guest in season 1. It became an end of episode tradition and the girls thought it would be a nice way to end their first season by answering them all themselves. 
The girls talk about the advice they would give their younger selves, their favourite muller corner yogurt and who would play themselves in a movie. 
STAY TUNED FOR SEASON 2!
