In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson welcomes Connor Scott — physiotherapist, counsellor, founder of The Running Therapist, and co-founder of Mind Over Miles and 9 for 9.

Connor shares the raw truth of his mental health journey — from growing up in Liverpool and navigating hardship, to experiencing panic attacks, overwhelm, and reaching his lowest point… and the life-saving moment that changed everything.

This episode explores:
The courage it takes to open up — and why one honest conversation can change lives
How connection, vulnerability, and movement became Connor’s pathway back to hope
The simple but powerful role of friendship (and one mate’s idea that sparked something life-changing)
What to say — and what not to say — when someone shares they’re struggling
Why “holding space” matters more than having the perfect words

You’ll also hear about Connor’s extraordinary fundraising effort: running 50km every day for 50 days to support mental health organisation Speak & Share — a commitment that took an 18‑month recovery and speaks to his mission of ensuring no one faces mental health challenges alone.

Connor’s story is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a way forward — and that hope often begins with connection.
