“Nobody ever asked me what happened. They only asked why.”

In this emotional clip from The True Form Podcast, Eating Disorder and Trauma-Informed Specialist Sammie Lee shares the moment her healing truly began — when someone finally asked the right question.

This conversation dives into:
– Why the question “what happened to you?” is more powerful than “what’s wrong with you?”
– How our medical and mental health systems often miss the mark
– The role of presence, compassion, and deep listening in trauma recovery

If you or someone you know is navigating disordered eating, trauma, or recovery, this is a must-watch moment.

Childhood mental health issues are rising — but what’s really going on beneath the surface?

“We’re pathologising kids before we’re listening to them.”

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with Professor Kosmas Smyrnios — a former child and adolescent psychotherapist turned academic — to unpack what’s really happening with the rise in childhood mental health issues.

With over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, research, and education, Professor Smyrnios brings a rare dual lens: clinical depth and academic insight.

We explore:
– Why emotional distress in kids is often mislabelled as a disorder
– How modern systems are failing both children and parents
– What’s changed in diagnosis and treatment across generations
– Why safety, connection, and presence matter more than ever
– What parents, educators, and practitioners need to rethink

From community mental health centres to lecture halls, Professor Smyrnios has guided families, taught students, and mentored over 30 PhD candidates. His work connects therapy, entrepreneurship, and systems thinking, and this conversation might change the way you think about childhood altogether.

Thinking about switching to barefoot or minimalist shoes?
This clip from our chat with @bprimal_footwear breaks down how to transition safely — and why it’s not just about the shoes.

You’ll learn:
– Why most people are disconnected from their feet
– How your nervous system relies on foot input
– 3 simple foot exercises to build strength
– Why toe mobility is key for posture and pain
– Tips for finding the right transitional shoes
– How to listen to your feet and build gradually

👣 Your feet have a quarter of a million nerves in them — they literally tell your body how to move. If your shoes (or lack of strength) are blocking that feedback, you’ll feel it everywhere: hips, knees, posture, balance.

🎧 Full episode: Why Most Shoes Are Destroying Your Feet (and How to Fix It) — now live on The True Form Podcast.
