It’s about survival. It’s about truth. It’s about coming back from the edge and finding power in your scars. On this week’s Affirm That Sh!t, I’m joined by Jamie Hughes—a powerhouse of a social psychologist who has battled grief, depression, abuse, and a suicide attempt. And instead of letting it define him, he used it as fuel to rebuild. We talk about the loss of his mother, the trauma of growing up with an emotionally abusive father, and how those experiences pushed Jamie to pursue psychology—not just as a field, but as a calling. He opens up about his journey with therapy, his evolving relationship with his pain, and what it really means to support someone through a mental health crisis. This episode isn’t wrapped in pretty bows. It’s a survival manual with pages ripped from the rawest parts of Jamie’s life. We talk affirmations, self-compassion, and the truth about what healing actually looks like. Spoiler alert: it’s messy, nonlinear, and absolutely worth the fight. If you’re in it right now—grief, depression, uncertainty—this one is for you. You’re not alone. And your story isn’t over.","meta_description":"This one hits deep—because it’s not just about mental health. It’s about survival. It’s about truth.
