On today’s episode of Say It How It Is, Ffion and Gwen are joined by The Oddballs Foundation Manager, Kieran Kelly and 19 year old testicular cancer survivor, Jamie Young. Oddballs was founded back in 2014, and uses wild, wacky and wonderful underwear prints as a way of creating conversation and awareness around testicular Cancer. Shortly after in 2015, The Oddballs Foundation was set up to act as the main charity affiliate to the brand and continue to spread awareness and tackle the stigma- delivering workshops and talks, with their now 50 university ambassadors across the UK. Jamie is the incoming Oddballs Foundation University Ambassador for Reading University. In 2019 at the age of just 14, Jamie was diagnosed with testicular cancer after experiencing hip pain and going to get it checked out.

This was just the beginning of his journey. The cancer has unfortunately spread to both his pelvis and lung, which required multiple rounds of chemotherapy and major operations. Following his recovery, Jamie is now keen to share his experiences with as many people as he can, raise awareness and contribute to breaking down barriers in talking around the topic. This episode provides huge insight into both what The Oddballs Foundation strives towards and how Jamie reacted to and dealt with his diagnosis and treatment, to bounce back and see life as he does today.

On today’s episode of Say It How It is, Ffion and Gwen are joined by Ollie Olds, mindset mentor, and Lloyd Ashley, ex-professional rugby player and founder of Living Well. In this episode expect to learn all things finding purpose, the power of service and helping others, how perspective allows you to be grateful for what you have and how to provide a safe space for people to talk. Ollie went through his own journey through depression following 3 ACL injuries and being told he shouldn’t play again. Following this he went through a process of finding his identity and purpose again before becoming a transformation coach to help others do the same and reach their potential. Lloyd, after gaining many different qualifications alongside his rugby career, decided he wanted to study counselling and fell in love with the idea of bringing people together, creating connections and creating safe spaces to have conversations.
