Feels like Healing is a series of conversations between myself Al Lewis and individuals who have turned to creativity as a way of helping them heal.
Our need for healing is universal. However the reasons behind it can be oh so varied; a difficult childhood, a traumatic experience or perhaps a bereavement and our need to process grief.
My search for healing stems from the death of my Dad, who died when I was 21 from Multiple Sclerosis.
For over fifteen years I'd kept a quiet lid on my grief. However when it came to clearing out the last remaining boxes from my Dad's attic, that grief that I'd suppressed came rushing to the surface. It was then that I began to write songs about my Dad. Writing those songs was incredibly cathartic and I realised how useful creativity can be when confronted with the hardest parts of life.
I believe that hearing other people's stories can help us to process ours and that the act of being creative can help turn something seemingly hopeless and incomprehensible in to something beautiful and hopeful.
These conversations are here to provide solace and inspiration and to show you that healing can happen when we take our deepest pain and turn it into a work of art.

Welcome to the This Girl Is On Fire podcast, where I bring you conversations with women who have one thing in common - they are on fire!
You will hear how they got to where they are in life, how thinking differently about their circumstances helped them - whether that was to overcome hardship, discover their calling or achieve success. You will also hear what their greatest life lesson has been, what their definition of living is and how they feel when they are truly thriving. These women all know exactly what they need to do to Get Brave, Get Confident and Get Going!
Who am I:
For over two decades I worked as a national Daytime Television broadcaster in the UK. Then, in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, I decided to jump… I quit my job as the longest serving host of a multi-award-winning TV show to focus on doing what I love - helping women around the world Think Differently about themselves, their circumstances and the challenges that life throws at each and every one of us.
I’m the Sunday Times Best Selling author and co-founder of This Girl Is On Fire, and the creator of life-changing personal development courses, motivational talks and inspirational interviews.

Have you ever felt like you’ve become lost in your own life?
Many men struggle to talk about their problems and mental health and grew up believing that to do can be perceived as a sign of weakness or failure. There is also a lack of open discussion in society around men’s mental health, especially aimed at mid-life men. As a result, at times many men can feel alone and lost in their own lives.
In this podcast series, I talk to mid-life men about their stories; the challenges, the turning points, and the support received to help them find their way so that others who may be suffering in silence or don’t know what to do next, realise that they are not alone and there is help available.
Stories will cover a whole range of challenges faced by mid-life men mainly relating to the causes of mental health issues including feelings of isolation, depression, job dissatisfaction, addiction, PTSD, and long-term illness.
The podcast is NOT a replacement for professional support and we signpost to organisations and their contact details by episode.
If you have a story you would like to share or any feedback on the podcasts, please email me: [email protected]. -
Welcome to We Recover Loudly the podcast.
In season one, the mission was to spark conversations about addiction, recovery, and drinking cultures within hospitality. What we found was that these topics are closely linked to much bigger issues that we face in the industry, which truly deserve our attention and a space to be discussed. The podcast has evolved to delve into important matters surrounding addiction and recovery, as well as significant themes like burnout, sexual harassment, gender imbalance, mental health, chronic illness, stress, and eating disorders—the list goes on! This podcast isn’t just for individuals in recovery from drugs and alcohol working in hospitality; it’s for anyone who has dealt with challenges, tough working conditions, or health issues related to their experiences in this industry, who want to hear inspiring stories of strength and recovery.
Each episode features a mix of personal stories from myself and other incredible individuals who are currently in the industry or connected to the industry via a mental health space. We engage in conversations with hospitality leaders who are paving the way in providing training and resources to cultivate healthy workplace environments for their teams. This podcast aims to be a welcoming platform for everyone to share the challenges they've faced while working in hospitality and how they’ve overcome them... loudly!
So, let's turn it up and get loud, because when we recover loudly we stop others dying quietly. -

In January 2019, while working in London, Jonathan Hirons’s life suddenly changed.
He remembers sitting in a business meeting with colleagues discussing a work project when he “began to feel strange”.
Jonathan soon found that he couldn’t make changes to the document he was working on, and he began to struggle to find the words to speak.
Fortunately, realising something was very wrong, his colleagues acted quickly and called an ambulance.
Jonathan was rushed to University College Hospital, where CT and MRI scans showed he had suffered a stroke caused by a bleed on the brain. He spent five nights in hospital and was diagnosed with aphasia.
Following Jonathan’s stroke, many everyday things became a struggle, including work. “My work stopped on that day,” he explained. “Initially, I couldn’t speak properly, and I was unable to read or write”.
Additionally, Jonathan couldn’t remember much of where he lived. He remembered his postcode, but not his address, mobile number and the PIN for his bank account. Jonathan also sometimes had trouble understanding what was being said to him. He could, however, sign his name.
This was a worrying time for Jonathan and his loved ones. He had to stop driving. His wife, Ann, ensured he carried a card with his name and address and contact numbers.
However, recognising the importance of starting the rehabilitation process as soon as possible, Ann also encouraged Jonathan to begin reading out loud.
Every day a small amount of time was set aside to read a few lines of a book. In addition, Ann started using nursery school flashcards to help Jonathan with word recognition and writing.
When speech therapy started, Jonathan vastly improved and is now at the point where he can read and write more fluently.
“Over time and with much help from my wife and speech therapists, I got my speech, my reading and my writing back on track,” said Jonathan. “Even now, I find reading and writing difficult, particularly if I’m tired and I still get words mixed up, but I’m a lot better”.
Jonathan is now using his experiences and creative skills to help others impacted by aphasia with his film ‘On the Tip of my Tongue.’
https://youtu.be/3kHmx1TrWxsAfter successful funding campaigns, help from the Tavistock Trust and support with PR, the film was finished in September 2022.
“Currently, I am showing it to people in the health industry as a training resource: it recently has been successfully presented to Carers UK,” said Jonathan. He has also produced a film called ‘What is aphasia?’
“So here I am four years later, and I’m still wanting to put the word out about aphasia, so if you read this, please pass it on to as many people as you can so that we can keep the interest going,” he added.
Jonathan said he wants people to understand that aphasia is a hidden disability and that he feels there is a lack of support once the initial rehabilitation is over.
“The main problem with aphasia is it is very difficult to explain. People say, ‘you seem fine,’ but they don’t know about [difficulties with not] being able to form words quickly or following a conversation in a group. Just because you have lost your words, it does not mean you have lost your intellect.
“Recovery from strokes and head injuries vary considerably. Some people can regain the ability to function independently others need more help. Help and support tends to come from charities and the family.” But despite the immense challenges faced by people living with aphasia, Jonathan’s message to others is one of hope. “Persevere. It may seem to be hopeless, but improvements will come. Engage with fellow sufferers and, if possible, join a group”.
