Cian opens up about his deeply personal journey through grief, addiction and ultimately transformation, sharing how some of life's darkest moments shaped both the person and filmmaker he has become today. He takes us behind the scenes of his powerful film Bereavement, explaining how storytelling became more than a creative outlet; it became a vital part of his healing process. Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of vulnerability, why asking for help is one of the strongest things a person can do, and how creativity, purpose and the right support network can change the course of someone's life.

This is an inspiring conversation about resilience, hope and the power of sharing our stories to help others realise they are never alone.
