With over 1.3 million people in the UK struggling with gambling, the impact is far-reaching. From university students hooked on online betting to families torn apart, gambling addiction can destroy lives — and tragically, even lead to suicide. Tracey’s journey is raw, honest, and inspiring.

• Anyone battling gambling addiction or supporting a loved one.
• Students and young adults caught up in betting culture.
• People seeking real-life stories of recovery, resilience, and hope.

Her story proves that no matter how far you fall, recovery is possible. Watch, listen, and share this episode to raise awareness and remind anyone struggling that they are not alone.

Episode 8: Professor Diana Harcourt

Amit sits down with Professor Diana Harcourt: Professor of Appearance & Health Psychology at the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR). Nerve Tumours UK has arranged the session, following the ongoing cooperation with CAR and their support to the NF community.

What role does appearance really play in our lives? We dive into the psychology of body image, confidence, and self-acceptance, exploring how appearance shapes identity and self-worth. The challenges people with visible differences face in dating, work, and daily life. Why does society react the way it does to visible differences? Amit and Diana talk about the impact of social media, stereotypes, representation in TV and film, and discuss evidence-based strategies to build resilience and acceptance. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in appearance, psychology, visible difference, and confidence.

Episode 7: Paula

Amit sits down with Paula; Paula wanted the “perfect” body to fit society’s beauty standards — instead, cosmetic surgery took her to the edge of death… twice. In this powerful interview, Paula reveals how her heart stopped, how she watched doctors work on her body from above, and the life-changing lessons she learned about self-worth, acceptance, and living with purpose.

If you’ve ever thought about plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures, or chasing society’s idea of perfection — this is the video you need to see.
