Podcasts about mad girl

Journalist, author and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon discusses the journey to writing about her own mental health, why we need political balance, and her aversion to misery books.   Bryony has written six Sunday Times bestselling books, including the number one bestsellers Mad Girl and You Got This. Her latest book Mad Woman is the eagerly anticipated follow-up which explores a crucial question: what if our notion of what makes us happy is the very thing that's making us so sad? And her debut novel People Pleaser will be published in 2026. Her work as a mental health campaigner has been widely recognised; she founded Mental Health Mates, a peer support group that encourages people to move for their mental health, and in 2023 she was awarded the President's Medal by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. She wrote for the Telegraph for 24 years, and is now a columnist at the Daily Mail, and hosts a weekly podcast, The Life of Bryony. Bryony is also a judge for the 2025 Women's Prize for Fiction.  Bryony's  book choices are: ** The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy ** Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood ** American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld ** Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny **  Loved and Missed by Susie Boyt Vick Hope, multi-award winning TV and BBC Radio 1 presenter, author and journalist, is the host of season eight of the Women's Prize for Fiction Podcast.

Today I'm delighted to welcome back one of The Shift's very first guests, journalist and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon. Bryony has been a columnist on the Telegraph for over 20 years and for ten of those she has been writing candidly about her own experiences of addiction and mental illness. She is the best selling author of Mad Girl and The Wrong Knickers and in 2016 she founded Mental Health Mates a global peer support network that encourages people with mental health issues to connect, for which she has won several awards. She also, FWIW, ran the London marathon in her knickers.  Three years after her first visit to The Shift, Bryony is back - older, wiser (yes really) - and with a new book, the pertinently titled, Mad Woman, which discusses her struggles with burnout, binge eating and, yep, you guessed it, fluctuating hormones. Bryony joined me from bed in south London to talk about maintaining a public facade when you're privately falling apart, finally learning to feed herself properly at 43, discovering all the women in her family went into menopause in their early 40s, why she's done with feeling like she's the problem and how Davina McCall saved her life!

It comes 10 years after her bestseller Mad Girl and explores a huge range of topics including binge eating, burnout, menopause, the pandemic and the very nature of mental illness. It is a book of self discovery and is ultimately hugely honest and leaves you feeling uplifted and with a whole new mindset about mental illness and life.During the episode Bryony is so open about many of the topics she explores in the book. She tells me about how the pandemic, a health scare, the effects of the perimenopause on her mental health and so much more have affected her and helped her become a wiser person who is finally more at peace with who she is.

Sasha and Stella answer listener questions… again! They start by highlighting recent episodes inspired by listener feedback. Next, they discuss the financial implications and complexities involved in adult children using their parents' medical insurance. They reflect on the different roles that can emerge between mothers and fathers of gender dysphoric youth. Other questions address the similarities between body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, OCD, and other ruminative anxieties.

This is the second episode where Stella and Sasha answer listener questions! How do you manage the costs of gender? This listener asked her daughter to pay for her own gender medical expenses. When does it make sense for parents to accept where their child is in life? This parent wants to support her child through her journey, but she also doesn't want to pay for something she disagrees with. If the parent is paying for it, then she should be able to look at the bills she's paying for. If her child does not want her to see the medical procedures, then she must take ownership of those costs. This parent needs to remind her daughter about all the ways she is happy to support her necessities. Basic food, shelter, and safety. How she has done so since she was a child. Sometimes children need the reminder. She also has three other children to consider and it makes sense why she might be hesitant to spend large resources on one when an emergency could happen to another one. When do you know you're enabling your child? The fact insurance covers so many of these medical procedures is very shocking. They have an allure that they're safe to do. They're not! Next listener question! How does a man, who works in a blue-collared field, tell his friends that his son wants to be a girl? Stella has noticed that those who attend support groups for their transitioning children, 95% of them are mothers. Where are the men? No matter what happens to your child, look after your marriage. You are stronger together. Men are often suffering in their own private way. They express themselves differently than women do. At the end of the day, the body is real, you're born with it, and it's here to stay. What is homosexual OCD or transgender OCD? This is a bit of a chicken/egg question. Can spending a lot of time on the internet, reading about the trans movement, taking quizzes, etc, influence your decision-making? Stay tuned for future episodes! Sasha and Stella are excited to talk about some of these topics!

Figment of imagination or fact? Insanity or lucidity?

In this 31st episode of the season of the Her Spirit podcast BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and BBC Triathlon presenter Annie Emmerson talk to journalist and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon.Bryony’s bestselling memoirs "The Wrong Knickers: A Decade of Chaos", "You Got This", "Mad Girl", and "Eat, Drink, Run" have deservedly earned Bryony critical acclaim – and a multitude of loyal readers worldwide. Uncompromising in her truthfulness, Bryony challenges the stigma that surrounds addiction and demonstrates a determination that whatever life throws at you it is to be lived and cherished.In Bryony’s new book ‘The Glorious Rock Bottom’, she recounts the traumatic consequences of her personal addiction journey, and her experience in treatment as well as in recovery. The abundance of integrity, dignity and humanity Bryony brings to her writing invites the reader to relate to her own experiences and, in so doing, may help others to open up about their own difficulties with a view to seeking treatment and support for themselves or their loved ones.She recalls waking up drunk and drugged lying on damp grass, a man's head between her thighs. That man was not her husband - he and their daughter Edie were half a mile away sleeping in the grounds of the country estate they were staying at to celebrate her friend's birthday.Gordon was 37 and when the man, who had given her cocaine, phoned up the following week asking if she was still up for a threesome, she realised she didn’t know herself, or what she had said or done, while intoxicated that nightShe has charted the journey through alcoholism and subsequent recovery in her no-holds-barred new book, Glorious Rock Bottom. Her husband [financial journalist Harry Wilson] knows all of it. I've always been very honest with him about what happened when I was drinking. We've worked through that.As her career soared, her mental health plummeted, she continued to drink and do drugs, even though she had become an ambassador for mental health. During her regular binges she'd black out - not be able to remember the next day what she'd said or done.Had she continued drinking, she believes it would have killed her. "It doesn't bear thinking about what would have happened if I hadn't got sober," she says now. "I don't drink any more but I'm still an alcoholic.”She talks to Annie and Louise about this journey and how she felt the worst mother possible. A staunch campaigner for mental health and now feels lucky to be alive.Her ground breaking interview with Prince William raised the awareness around her mental health work. She enjoys being active and has run and how 'Running Made Me Realise That Anything Is Possible' These podcasts have been made possible through the support of Medichecks www.medichecks.com and Sport England www.sportengland.org.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I think I made you up inside my head

This week, I'm talking to Fiona Thomas, a freelance writer based in Birmingham. Her first book is a mental health memoir called Depression in a Digital Age and her second is a guide to freelancing called Out of Office (available to pre-order now!). In this episode, we dig deep on how to navigate the world of work when you have mental health issues - or even if you're just a normal, living, breathing, emotional human! - and how and why so many women have finally decided that being their own boss is preferable to office politics and business burnout. We talked about: Fiona's journey from being signed off with depression and burnout at work, to finding a new career online and making a living as a writer and course creator How adulthood is so often about “unlearning” everything we thought we were “supposed” to be doing How to be yourself at work - or, how to start a new career in freelancing, even if you feel as though you're not good enough, not ready, or not qualified How to show up as yourself online, and how being honest helps others to live their purpose too Giving yourself permission to dream big The problem with “toxic positivity” and why we all need to learn to just “feel our feelings” Learning to know yourself, whether you're introverted or extroverted or somewhere in between And how to make your work work for you...and not the other way around! Show Notes: References and links mentioned in this episode Fiona's books: Depression in a Digital Age and Out of Office Quote from Anais Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” The book Mad Girl, by Bryony Gordon The book Ctrl; Alt; Delete, by Emma Gannon Trigger Publishing, Fiona's publisher The book Quiet by Susan Cain Find out more about Fiona: Website: Fionalikestoblog.com Instagram: @fionalikestoblog Enjoying this podcast?

Hello everyone! This week, Anna is the lone Mad Girl in the lab and brings the (psychological) science about why we get mad. She delves into a particular theory that makes sense of the goings on inside that noggin of yours while you’re seeing red. Whose a better expert on being mad than one mad girl? Well, Dr. Deffenbacher to be exact! So tune to hear all about his work, and find out why it is that you actually get mad! Take care! 

The new hilarious and inspirational memoir from Sunday Times number one best-selling author Bryony Gordon. Bryony Gordon was not a runner. A loafer, a dawdler, a drinker, a smoker, yes. A runner, no. Yet somehow, as she began to recover from the emotional rollercoaster of laying her life bare in her mental health memoir Mad Girl, she started to realise that getting outside, moving her body and talking to others for whom life was also an occasional challenge, might actually help her. Going for a run might not banish her sadness, but at least it might show it that she was damn well trying to beat it, which is sometimes half the battle. As she began to run further, she started to see the limitations she had imposed on her life more clearly. Why couldn't she be a runner? Or a bungee jumper? Or a deep sea diver? Maybe rather than sitting on the sofa watching the world go by, fulfilling your dreams was just about standing up and taking that first step. Maybe you can do it too. In April 2017, less than a year after she had weighed herself at over 16 stone but stepped off the scales and started training anyway, Bryony Gordon ran all 26 and 3/4 miles of the London Marathon. Here, in her new typically funny and hugely inspiring memoir, she shows us how extraordinary things can happen to us all, no matter what life throws at us, if we're just willing to keep going.

This is a very strange Turkish film from 1973. It's sourced from a poor condition VHS tape, so it suffers from the same preservation issues as most all vintage Turkish films. It's recommended for people with an interest in cult cinema and/or old Turkish films. The plot: Super villain "Mad Girl", who's dressed in a red Vampira suit, is trying to take over the world. She works for another villain who's dressed all in red and wears a dime store devil mask. Aiding her in her attempt at world domination is a band of men in green satin Klansman's robes. She also has a robot made out of cardboard boxes that carries a death ray that will cause you to disappear into a puff of smoke. Battling her are the "3 Supermen", athletic guys who wear red suits with an "S" on the front and which are bullet proof. For the better part of an hour the two sides battle each other in a series of spectacular fights.Director: Cavit YürüklüWriter: Volkan KayhanStars: Levent Çakir, Altan Bozkurt, Yesim Yükselen - via IMDB https://archive.org/details/CilginKizVeUcSuperAdamthreeSupermenAndMadGirl1973

Paul and Rob are joined by writer Bryony Gordon, author of Mad Girl, for a start-the-year walk-run round Clapham Common; it's a day for dynamic extremes - slow and fast, high and low, serious and silly, partying and planking, Ibiza and Kensington Palace, first-time London Marathoners and old campaigners, and the glory and grubbiness of the condom.

Bryony Gordon has OCD. It's the snake in her brain that has told her ever since she was a teenager that her world is about to come crashing down: that her family might die if she doesn't repeat a phrase 5 times, or that she might have murdered someone and forgotten about it. It's caused alopecia, bulimia, and drug dependency. And Bryony is sick of it. Keeping silent about her illness has given it a cachet it simply does not deserve, so here she shares her story with trademark wit and dazzling honesty.
