Also, why her two favourite books are the Holy Bible and Barbara Taylor Bradford novels.

Willelmina Joseph-Loewenthal has been a peer recovery trainer for several years and was a member of the team instrumental in supporting survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire that tragically took many lives and left many more homeless in June 2017.  As a mental health service user, of primary and secondary services, Willelmina now spends time supporting others to be compassionate towards themselves and aiding them in telling their story stating "many people have found that telling their story is an important way of making sense of what has happened and to move on."

As well as being a Peer Recovery Trainer at a London based NHS Trust Recovery & Wellbeing College, she speaks regularly to peers and academics described as providing 'enthralling insight' with burning questions – ‘Why me?’ Or ‘What have I done to deserve this?  She is a celebrated author with her poetry being featured in journals in the USA and lives by the statement "Telling our story is about acknowledging our experiences, witnessing our resilience and celebrating our survival."  She is also now on another quest. This time it is one of 'immersing myself in the historical, cultural and spiritual roots of my people and how this has changed me.’

In this episode, we laugh a lot and then have serious discussions about Mental Illness, toxic relationships, identity issues and playing on bomb sites and train tracks.  

Marigold Ndicho Katsande left Zimbabwe at the tender age of 18 years, with little prospect of having an education in what was war-torn Rhodesia.  She left, what she describes as the cocoon of a loving family of 12, to start a life that would see her facing her own emotional challenges, learning to use food to heal emotional and physical health, which led to healing her son from severe and debilitating Eczema.  She has since pursued a career in mental health and as a Natural Nutrition & Life Coach and fulfilled a life-long ambition to become a Countdown contestant.
