Jim and Saab may be the ones doing the talking but they definitely make their listeners feel heard.

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully inter ...

Are you in for a treat BRAVE JOURNEYS family?
Today’s guest is a bona fide superstar. But that’s not why I love him. And I really do love him.
36 hours after Jono Lancaster was born with Treacher Collins syndrome - a rare genetic disorder that effects the development of the cheek bones, jaw, chin and ears - his parents abandoned him in the hospital, claiming they were “horrified by Jono’s physical appearance” …and they never looked back.
If you’ve read the book or seen the incredible film Wonder starring Julia Roberts & Mandy Patinkin, you will know that the principal character Auggie - played by the extraordinary actor - Jacob Tremblay - was born with the same condition.
But Jono’s tragic start to life doesn’t define him; it’s been the making of him.
Today at 36, Jono and I discuss, well, absolutely everything from parental rejection to being put in the foster system at two weeks old and formally adopted at age 5 by his magical mum, Jean.
We talk about bullying, finding self-love, falling in love and becoming a global ambassador for the LOVE ME, LOVE MY FACE FOUNDATION that supports children and their families with Treacher Collins.
Jono is adored the world over for his optimism, wicked sense of humour, humility, remarkable sense of gratitude, and what he teaches us about making the world a more compassionate place.
Put it like this - If you don’t feel like pumping your fists in the air, being extra kind today and thankful for all your blessings, then I’m sending Jono round to your place… NOW.
This is Jono’s story …
