Hellooo…Welcome back to the Power Within You! As you may know, we spent last season connecting and learning from amazing people who are not only managing their mental health but finding the strength and power within them. As I continue my own MsC at Kings and my own understanding of mental health, there is something we’re still not getting right it seems…Neurodiversity. In Season 3, we’re bringing in a new format to share the latest facts, figures and research from the Neurodiversity and mental health space - The Focus. Living in a content world is exciting and exhausting at the same time, not knowing what is “fact”, a credible source or something you should even say “I saw this on tiktok”.

We’re here to bust the myths, share the stories and understand the lived experience of neurodiversity - the human edition. #PowerWithinYou is a raw, honest podcast fronted by Mamta Gera, a dedicated coach on a mission to share stories, and resources and support your mental health journey to find the power within you.

** Trigger Warning: This episode discusses abuse** In this episode, I’m joined by Jeff Spiteri, as we delve into the impact of abuse & trauma. Trauma has a lifelong impact, and as we hear Jeff’s story, we can see how you have the power to take control on the type of impact it has on you.

Just knowing that this is not right, or this is not the life you want, can jumpstart a new timeline for you, just as Jeff did.
