Well, That F*cked Me Up! Surviving Life Changing Events.

BITE-SIZE PERSONAL STORIES OF SURVIVING LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES: Hosted by Luke Colson and Kyle Wise, we feature weekly guests and explore extreme personal life changing experiences and the journey emotional and physical recovery. Each guest discusses their story of how their lives were turned upside down, by unexpected events. Stories like surviving a car crash, surviving abuse, being paralyzed in an accident, witnessing a crime.. and many more! Luke and Kyle will take an honest, raw, yet positive and hopeful approach, to really find out how these sudden events have effected our guests, and hear about the tools they use to overcome the subsequent struggle and adversity. We will focus on the journey to success and recovery, and hear stories of how our guests overcame trauma, and mental health challenges like ptsd, anxiety depression and phobias that have often lead to addiction, alcoholism, and disorders. While we will focus on the events themselves, and the lasting effects of these moments, our goal in this podcast is to concentrate on the positive journeys of resilience, recovery and hope that comes from these extraordinary stories. Join us for the ride of your life, and other peoples too! Why listen? We hope that our listeners will feel comfort, empowerment, strength and hope through this community of people and the stories we share. Everyone’s experiences are unique, but the circumstances around recovery and healing can be a shared and comforting journey.

Join us as we re-visit one of the most listened to episodes in the last 5 years! And yes, we are still following Harriett's journey across Social Media. Every now and then a guest comes along, where we ask ourselves, how on earth are they still here to tell the tale? Harriet Barnsley was waiting at a Bus Stop in Birmingham, England, with her friend, just like they did a thousand times before. Two speeding cars came racing around the corner, and lost control, hitting Harriet and her best friend from childhood, at 101mph. Tragically her friend was killed outright, and Harriet ended up 50 feet away in a park. It was 7.30pm, on just another Saturday evening. The accident left Harriet for dead. Now, 10 years on, she joins us to tell her amazing story.
