In this real and hopeful episode, we continue our conversation with Matt Weedon of the Tors, the UK-based indie band behind the hit song Anything Can Happen. Written in the wake of Matt’s struggles with depression and anxiety, the song has struck a deep emotional chord with millions worldwide—its raw lyrics capturing the weight of mental illness and the slow, steady journey toward healing.

Through this candid discussion, we explore the power of storytelling in breaking mental health stigma, the importance of slow, lasting recovery, and the small but significant steps that lead us out of the darkness. Stick around until the end of the episode for a full playthrough of Anything Can Happen, a song that has resonated with millions walking similar paths.
