Daily Mail columnist and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon will host the event. Mail’s new podcast – and no taboo will be left unexpressed.
Bryony’s lifeLaunching on Monday 16 September, it is a weekly heart-to-heart with the award-winning journalist and five-time Sunday Times best-selling author.
Bryony, 44, founder of Mental Health Mates and a marathon runner (who chooses to wear underwear where others wear sportswear), will welcome experts and guests including James Middleton, Adele Roberts, Kimberley Nixon and many more.
While Adele and his wife Katie will discuss body positivity, James will reflect on the role pets can play in supporting our mental health.
Bryony, whose books ‘Mad Girl’ and ‘You Got This’ both reached number one in the Sunday Times bestseller list, said: ‘I’ve always believed that life is messy but beautiful and completely ridiculous, and that’s what Bryony’s Life is all about.
Hosted by Daily Mail columnist, award-winning journalist and Sunday Times best-selling author Bryony Gordon (pictured), The Life of Bryony is released on Monday 16 September.
“It’s like sitting down with a friend, having a cup of tea and saying, ‘You know what? None of us have it all figured out, and that’s OK.'”
“I’m so excited to dive into those important, awkward, and often funny conversations with people who get it.”
As host of the Mad World podcast, Bryony has previously had emotional conversations with the likes of Prince Harry, Mel B and Nadiya Hussain.
She describes Bryony’s Life as “my little corner of the world where we can talk openly about mental health, the weird things in life and everything in between.”
Listeners can expect to be entertained and enlightened by Bryony’s distinctive blend of sharp wit and unapologetic honesty as she tackles topics we’re not in the habit of talking openly about – anxiety, addiction and depression, for starters.
During a weekly bonus episode, Bryony will put on her Agony Aunt hat and offer honest advice to listeners willing to share their dilemmas.
In 2016, Bryony founded Mental Health Mates, a peer support group that is now established nationwide.
The following year, she was announced as the winner of the Mind Making A Difference Award for her work to change the perception of mental health in the media.
Bryony also received the British Journalism Award for Campaigner of the Year in 2017 and two years later was named Mental Health Advocate of the Year at the Stylist Remarkable Women Awards.
In 2020 she received the Journalist’s Special Charity Award for her writing on mental illness and last year she was awarded the President’s Medal of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Bryony’s new book, ‘Mad Woman’, is the follow-up to the Sunday Times best-selling ‘Mad Girl’.
As a body positivity campaigner, you can expect to see her in her underwear in the window of John Lewis on Oxford Street, having collaborated on an ITV campaign called Project Wow.
