Julia Samuel MBE is a leading psychotherapist, patron for You Okay, Doc & Nurse? and best selling author, including Sunday Times bestsellers of Grief Works, This Too Shall Pass & Every Family Has A Story. She has taught us so much and we can't wait for you to learn from her too.

This episode is jam packed with golden nuggets as Julia and Tom navigate into topics on judgement, connection, mental health illness, the role of social media and mental health, and learning to accept that life can be difficult. Julia and Tom also dive into the sacrifice that doctors make for their career and just how addictive being a doctor can be - a career that they go into to save the lives of others sadly sometimes at the cost of their own.

This podcast is hosted by former England Rugby 7's captain and silver medalist Olympian and YOD patron the wonderful, Tom Mitchell.
