Can we choose to connect over pain rather than isolating ourselves from others?</p><p> </p><p>Steven also explains how being an easy target for bullies at school meant he learnt how to problem solve and hustle, but what do you do when success comes and you don’t know how to cope with it?</p><p> </p><p>Steven’s show, <a href="https://underbellyboulevard.com/tickets/steven-frayne/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Up Close and Magical</a>, is at The Underbelly in Soho, and is opening on the 28th March.</p><p> </p><p>CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank chat about suicidal ideation so do take care while listening.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/17dee1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kesha</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/29cbdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ben West</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/286eca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Adam Pearson</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
