Welcome to the Hurt to Healing podcast with me, Pandora Morris. I’ve been fighting an uphill battle with my mental health for years and it’s only now that I’ve started to see some glimmers of light. It’s almost unbelievable to think I am starting this podcast considering my incessant compulsions would normally try to talk me out of it. But here I am, continuing to fight my invisible bullies one day at a time. As part of my own recovery, I’ve made it my mission to support as many of you as possible on your own healing journey. I’ll be speaking to wonderful people from all walks of life who will open up about their own invisible struggles in the hope that it will provide a bit of solace and comfort for some of you. I’ll also be speaking to leading experts and doctors about different disorders and therapies that might help each of you expand your knowledge on the world of mental health. Visit my website www.hurttohealing.co.uk to learn more about me and the work that I do.Produced by Rutherford Productions Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anne Robinson on her inspiring recovery from alcoholism
I am honoured to be joined by Anne Robinson, established television presenter and journalist known for her assertive views and her frosty presenting style on one of my all time favourite game shows, The Weakest Link. In the 1960s, Anne was the first young female trainee at the Daily Mail newspaper. She worked at The Sunday Times and The Daily Mirror and then went on to host programmes such as Watchdog to Channel Four's Countdown.
However, in her mid-thirties Anne began to drum up a reputation for being a heavy drinker, which began to overshadow her work. And after a fierce custody battle with her ex-husband, she lost joint custody of her daughter, then aged just two. This was the turning point that led to her seeking help and in today's interview Anne opens up about her battle with addiction and what got her onto the road to recovery.
