The Stuff of Life

CW // discussion of stroke symptoms Em has never been afraid to roll around in the dark stuff of life, today we are coming in dry, so grab your ankles Australia, because this story isn’t anything you could anticipate and there’s a lot to process. Em is joining us this week with an update from an incident that happened to her over the weekend which culminated in Em making frantic calls from the side of the road and her husband Scott calling an ambulance to come and help her. Having typed out over 1000 words at 1am last night so she could unpack the incident, Em will read it all out as is, so we get her full train of thought and feels on the moment as she relives it. We follow that up by chatting to our special guest, Sydney based actor, writer, producer and director Xavier Coy, who worked with Michael as a writer on ‘5 Bedrooms’. Xavier has just finished writing his new book which is a deeply personal and insightful look into the complexities of living with bipolar disorder called ‘Living With Bipolar’. It’s a beautifully illustrated book designed to challenge stereotypes around bipolar disorder and provide a clearer understanding of this widely misunderstood mental health condition. Together Em and Michael will chat with Xavier about how the book came about, what has happened for him since his diagnosis and so much more. Learn more about your ad choices.
