A Mental Break - Josh Bradford (Silverstein)
I had the absolute pleasure of having Josh Bradford, one of the guitarists from my favourite band of all time Silverstein, on the show! It was lovely to get to talk to him openly and honestly about mental health and his experiences dealing with his own struggles. Just want to thank him once again for taking the time to come talk to me and thank you to my listeners/viewers for your continued support on this podcast and pushing more mental health conversations forward!

The amazingly talented Tiffany Williams is on the show this episode! She is a producer, engineer, artist, multi instrumentalist, content creator and all around great friend!

She elaborates on some dark times she's suffered through and many ways of dealing with the darkness to find the light over the years.
