This week on Back & Forth, Dan and Vish get real about isolation, loneliness and all the messy stuff that comes with feeling stuck in your own head.

They talk openly about how easy it is to slip into unhealthy habits when life gets heavy, and how even the smallest bit of effort — a message, a walk, a chat, five minutes of someone’s time — can make a massive difference. From the importance of actually telling people how you feel, to the balance between giving someone space and staying present for them, the lads break it all down in the way only they can.

They also share some brilliant stories from their walks and meet-ups: people sitting in their car trying to convince themselves to come in, others turning up for the first time, and the surprising confidence that grows from just showing up.

With their usual mix of honesty, jokes and a few “love spuds” moments, Dan and Vish remind listeners that no one has to deal with tough days alone — and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take that tiny first step.

Listeners are encouraged to seek help when needed and recognise that opening up is a sign of strength, not weakness.
