Young Scot’s new mental health podcast headlined by Scottish TikTok sensation
Young Scot launched a new 12-part podcast aimed at reaching over 16s, which features top Scottish personalities revealing how their life experiences have impacted their mental health.
Hosted by Scottish radio DJ Katy J 'This is How AyeFeel' podcast provides a platform for candid conversations surrounding mental health, breaking down stigma. It includes episodes featuring award-winning climate activist and ethical influencer Laura Young, the first openly gay professional Scottish footballer Zander Murray and rapper and winner of BBC Introducing's Scottish Act of the Year, Bemz.
The first episode of the podcast is headlined by viral social star Mark Thorburn. Mark shot to TikTok fame after posting a video of a squirrel trapped in his toilet and now opens up about battling imposter syndrome. Now a full-time content creator, Mark from Glasgow, Scotland, struggled with accepting success and feeling like a fraud following the instant popularity of his videos filmed while working in Tesco.
Mark said: "Imposter syndrome can be overbearing, and it can take over. To me, it's an inner voice telling me that something I have produced isn't good enough or I don't deserve to be doing what I am doing.
"I hope that by speaking openly about imposter syndrome on Young Scot's podcast, people who have had similar thoughts or feel a similar way will be able to talk about their experiences and try not to let the negative thoughts take over."
If you want to stay informed on the issues that are important to you, people can listen wherever you get your podcasts, including YouTube and Spotify.
