Podcast Overview

Welcome to the 'My Story' Podcast hosted by Podcast Producer Amelia Rees. Amelia has experienced more than her fair share of adversity. She has battled both mental and physical health but has come through stronger and with a better perspective on what really matters in life…human connection. Amelia interviews everyday people as they openly share their personal journeys as an encouragement to others who are facing adversity. For generations, storytelling has been a way to communicate and teach. Sharing can bring healing. Adversity can be overcome. Depression can be managed. Hearts can be mended. Hurt can be forgiven, and scars can heal. The goal of the My Story Podcast is to showcase that you are not alone in the struggle of hardship. Life isn't always sunshine and rainbows, but with the right support, encouragement and a little bit of kindness to ourselves and others, we can get through anything. This raw and honest Podcast aims to be just that. Our guests have shown vulnerability and bravery to share their stories. They are on the path of breaking down the barriers we put around ourselves and each other. The more we talk about mental health, parenthood, illness and all forms of hardship, the more we can be there for each other. Episodes feature topics such as mental health, depression, fitness, anxiety, parenting, sick children, illness, personal battles, cancer, autism, financial abuse, diabetes, as well as encouragement and support for those who need it.
