Samaritans, Singing and Self-Care with Josh Cuthbert

Samaritans, Singing and Self-Care with Josh Cuthbert

Author: Taylor James September 12, 2023 Duration: 37:14

Joining me for a very special waffle is the brilliant singer, model and mental health advocate, Josh Cuthbert


Josh joins me for a very open and honest conversation about his own personal mental health challenges, including suicidal thoughts and anxiety. Not only is Josh encouraging others to open up about their mental health, he is now an ambassador for the incredible Samaritans


We have a waffle about his journey to working with Samaritans and how it led him to running the London Marathon for them earlier this year. We also have a chat about the various coping mechanisms that he utilises and why he's on a mission to get men talking about thier emotions.


It wouldn't be The Waffle Shop without a waffle about music so we get to hear the songs that have soundtracked his personal journey and of course, what songs get him on the dancefloor!


This episode contains some powerful conversation that some listeners may find triggering, if you are affected by anything mentioned in this episode, please reach out


Myself and Josh are proof that things can and will get better, sometimes all we need is a bit of help


Huge shoutout to Samaritans for making this happen


Samaritans is the Official Charity of the Year for the 2024 TCS London Marathon which takes place on Sunday 21 April 2024. Sign up today and help support more people struggling to cope.

Hosted by Taylor James, The Waffle Shop is built on the idea that the most meaningful talks happen when you’re just chatting about everything and nothing at the same time. This podcast lives in the space where personal stories about music, the realities of mental health, and the daily grind of adult life all intersect. It’s less about finding perfect answers and more about sharing the experience of figuring it out in your thirties, embracing the minor frustrations and small victories that define our days. Each conversation feels like sitting down with friends who aren’t afraid to be honest about the beautiful chaos of their journeys. Taylor brings in a different guest for every episode, and together they have a proper, meandering waffle-digging into past experiences, current challenges, and the odd bit of pop culture. You’ll hear genuine reflections on self-improvement, societal pressures, and the personal journals we all keep in our heads. The result is a comforting, often funny, and deeply human listen that reminds you that navigating life is a shared endeavor. Tune in for a blend of society, culture, and education, all filtered through the lens of real, unscripted conversation.
