Send us a message with any of your thoughts, questions and feedback I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Former Royal Marines lawyer Martin Wade for a profound conversation about PTSD, military service, chronic pain, survival and the unexpected role art has played in rebuilding his life. In this conversation they discuss pain, compassion, responsibility; Martin reflects on the weight of serving in Afghanistan, the life-changing impact of his PTSD diagnosis, and the long, difficult path of learning to live with both physical and psychological pain, and the courage it takes to keep going when life has fallen apart. Through painting, Martin was able to express what words couldn’t, and creates works that connect to the human condition and the possibility of healing.Martin Wade is an artist and veteran. Free from any classical training, he paints unhindered by convention and explores colour and composition on his own terms. Life's experiences brought him to the easel and his abstract works explore emotions, adversity and a survivor's instinct to recover against all the odds. The emphasis of his art is not one of gloom brought about by trauma and the hidden wounds of war but one of optimism, compassion and faith in common humanity. About I’m Fine:“I’m Fine is more than a Podcast — it’s a service. A space for the millions of people navigating pain in silence, often without the resources or language we all deserve. The world isn’t set up to support people in pain and we want to help change that.”Jean Campbell. I’m Fine is a Podcast hosted by Model, Writer and Mental Health Advocate Jean Campbell it’s a safe space and platform where high-performance people talk honestly, often humorously, about their life experiences and healing as Jean explores the inner world behind their outward success. Jean has navigated chronic pain since she was 12 years old, this experience inspired her to create I’m Fine to help reshape the stigma around pain - emotional, physical, and mental - to give a voice to the many who hide behind the words: ‘I’m Fine’. The series features conversations about mental health, identity, resilience, and how we cope when life doesn’t go to plan.
