Part 2 of Mental Health and Recovery Home Experience: a talk with Sumayyah

In this episode’s second part, probably my top three most favourite so far on the mental health topic, Sumayyah and I discuss a variety of topics anywhere from the difficulty of looking for a job while struggling mentally and/or having a long-term condition, the new depths that we discover once we start to deeply analyse our existence. We also reflected back on the little things that got us and our families through the difficult times and the importance of taking it one day at a time, celebrating small wins when you’re in the trenches of it. “Don’t have a banquet, just use a bunsen burner to make some toast” It was such a pleasure to have Sumayyah as a guest on the current podcast for the last two episodes! Sumayyah Maryam Bailey is an award-winning writer/director/artist, film scholar, a fashion editor and a featured writer of NHDL magazine. She writes about her experience with mental health and chronic pain, sharing this along with her vintage outfits and book recommendations on her IG @sumaybay.
