Image from @lifesawreckpodcast Instagram I have been listening to a mental health podcast called Life's A Wreck since January this year and two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to interview the host, Kyle, over zoom. We talked about many things including how he go started in podcasting, his philosophy on life, why men don't talk about their mental health and how we can take care of our mental health in lockdown.  Read the interview here.  What is your podcast about? Life's a Wreck is a mental health podcast that I started back in 2019 originally as a way for me to document what I was going through mental health wise and steadily, it grew from a podcast that was just started for personal use to something that was a little bit bigger and had the opportunity to talk with some amazing people about the importance of everyday mental health and wellness. Life’s A Wreck is a bit of a philosophy that life is not always supposed to be good and sometimes you kind of have to laugh at a...

Today, I am remembering and honoring the people who lost their lives on September 11th 2001. My thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends, first responders and everyone else in America and around the world who were affected by the tragedy 20 years ago.

Today I am sharing some biographical movies and TV shows based on true stories.  The Act The act is a television series based on the lives of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Dee Dee had a condition called Munchhausen by proxy, which caused her to fabricate health problems, in her daughter. Gypsy was abused by Dee all her life and finally she and her boyfriend killed Dee Dee. Patricia Arquette plays Dee Dee and Joey King plays Gypsy Rose. They both did an amazing job! I have watched the series and some clips of the real Gypsy Rose and Joey was spot on with her portrayal, especially the voice! It is dark, and creepy and not easy to watch but I think it is one of the best true crime dramas. You can watch the eight-episode series on Hulu and Binge.  Bombshell Bombshell tells the story of the women who were sexually harassed by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. The cast includes Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, Margot Robbie as Kayl...

Last month, I had the opportunity to interview Lauren Yeates, an entertainment reporter, celebrity interviewer and founder of the entertainment news website and podcast  Rave It Up . We had a chat about many things including how she got started in journalism and the media industry, some of the celebrities she has interviewed, the Rave It Up podcast and the book she has written. Have a read of the interview here.   Photo: Lauren Yeates What attracted you to Journalism? Journalism wasn’t something I really wanted to do . I just loved entertainment and it was after I did an interview with Justice Crew , I realised I loved interviewing. Before that, I never thought of interviewing at all. It was after Justice Crew that I had a light bulb moment and was like, I love doing this! I love having that up close and personal time with these celebrities and get to ask the questions I want to know the answers to which a lot of other people as fans want to know as well. Also, becaus...
