About this episode

This episode explores how individuals navigate unexpected life changes and challenges.

Life sometimes throws us circumstances beyond our control, we can’t change the fact that these circumstances exist, but we can have a say in what comes next, and how we approach what we’ve been confronted with. This is an episode about moments in life where the fabric of what we know to be reality is torn, and we are found in a new situation for which we have no prior training. Camilla receives a shock diagnosis of stage four cancer at the age of 26, her doctor telling her she has a year to live, at best. Elizabeth wanted to be an actor. Now she's a co owner of the toe wrestling federation. Jason Williamson, frontman of the punk duo; Sleaford Mods, talks about his shift into sobriety and how the mornings have become his afterlife. When Brexit happened in 2020, Jose thought he was British, but quickly came to realise how Brexit really did mean Brexit. Mike, known to many as the musician Perfume Genius, revisits the moment where a rattlesnake cut his dog's life too short.
