Welcome back to White Wine Question Time - and our summer of reflection.
It's a while since we've listened to some of these episodes - and today's comes from friends Josie Gibson & Malin Andersson. We say friends - but their friendship had played out entirely through social media - what you're about to hear is actually the first time they'd met.
When Malin lost her baby aged just one-month-old Josie took it upon herself to gather messages of support and kept Malin in a constant supply of videos. It's an act of kindness that sums up their supportive friendship.
As you can imagine - some sections of this conversation were quite raw, and we discuss infant death, suicidal thoughts and and other potentially disturbing topics.
But there is also light to balance the shade - and plenty of it - the final words of this episode might just be the best words ever spoken on the podcast.
And bear in mind that this pod was recorded in 2018... there's one moment where Josie refers to social media as having been through its dark period and is getting generally more positive. We even predict that 'influencers' won't be a thing in five years time. Well... we can't always be right.
Cheers!
