Big Black Bear Podcast

by Pav

The Big Black Bear is my entity that arrives when my mental health slips. Everyone has their own version. I want to chat, openly, to people about their own BBB! I’ll be chatting with old friends, new friends and trying to learn with every conversation. It may be a bit hard hitting at times and emotional for sure but, hopefully, you’ll realise you are not alone. There will also be mini episodes called ‘Grizzly Chats’ where i’ll be walking my little dog, Freddie, or just recording my thoughts for that particular day.
