Take It From Us with Kent Johns
Take It From Us is the voice of lived experience. In this podcast, you'll hear real people share honest stories about mental health, addiction, trauma and recovery - straight from their own journeys.
They'll tell you what actually worked, what didn't, and what they wish they'd known sooner.
Host Kent Johns is a former broadcaster-turned-health-coach who believes everyone has a story to tell if people take the time to really listen.
So settle in, you're going to hear some stories. Take it from us - and from them.

Take It From Us with Kent Johns
Asha Munn: On the healing power of creativity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Asha Munn is an art psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and founder of Breathing Space Charitable Trust.
At university, Asha got unwell and didn't think she'd return for her final year. Art healed her - she made work every day, figured out her future, and decided to become a therapist.
Asha's approach: no assumptions, no judgment, no analysis. Art therapy isn't about analysing work - it's about turning up, sitting alongside, and creating safe spaces where people can be seen without words.
Creativity is ordinary and human. It's accessible to us all.
