I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Nikki Lilly - award-winning creator, British charity campaigner, social media personality, model author and founder of the Butterfly AVM Charity. In this episode Nikki shares her experience growing up with a rare and life-threatening AVM, she explains what this is and how she navigated childhood between hospitals and surgeries, how living with chronic illness that has shaped her identity, how she has shaped her outlook on life and how she found escape, joy and creativity. From launching her YouTube channel to becoming a powerful voice for representation, Nikki reflects on visibility, vulnerability, and the support and quiet strength that inspires her. This honest and intimate discussion explores resilience and choosing to live fully, even when life looks nothing like you imagined. From beauty as armour, creativity as survival to compassion and the importance of play, rest and meeting yourself where you are this is a powerful reminder that living fully doesn’t mean living perfectly.

Nikki had a carefree childhood, until she was diagnosed with AVM aged 6 when her world flipped upside down and went from a normal childhood to hospitals, surgery, home. But Nikki is extraordinary not ordinary - in 2012 the Butterfly AVM Charity was founded, in 2013, then aged only eight, she started to share her experiences of living with a 'visible difference' on YouTube covering life with: chronic illness, bullying, mental health, baking and beauty. She has won many awards for her courage, her cooking and creativity. In 2016 she won CBBC’s Junior Bake Off and presented the CBBC show ‘Nikki Lilly Meets’. In 2019 won an Emmy for ‘Best Factual Programme’ and was the youngest ever recipient of the BAFTA Special Award. In 2020 she published her first book, ‘Nikki Lilly Come on Life: Highs, Lows and How to Live Your Best Teen Like’. In 2024 she became a patron of Face Equality International, an alliance of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), charities and support groups which are working at national, regional or international levels to promote the campaign for ‘face equality’. In 2025 Nikki spoke at the United Nation Human Rights Council about her experiences of facial differences and was honoured as ‘Fashion and Beauty Creator of the Year’ on TikTok, partnered with L’Oreal at the Cannes Film Festival and was one of the first people with a facial difference to walk a show in Paris Fashion Week, with Vogue calling it the most powerful moment of the show and at the end of 2025 announced her podcast ‘Live a Little’ where she talks about the in-between of modern life, where you can have a lot on but still wondering if you are missing something deeper.

Her journey has garnered recognition and numerous accolades, including:

- The WellChild Award for Courage (2013), presented by Prince Harry
- The Princess Diana Award for Exceptional Bravery (2014)
- The Pride of Britain Award for Child of Courage (2016)

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Poet, Model, Musician and Trans Activist Kai Isaiah Jamal to talk about their journey creating their debut EP Impatiently Waiting, reclaiming autonomy through music, and what it means to build an authentic identity – in fashion, music, the everyday – to own who you are and go beyond other people’s gaze.

Acclaimed South-London spoken word poet, writer, performer and trans visibility activist, Kai Isaiah Jamal dedicates much of their creative time to writing about personal experiences, discrimination, and dysphoria, they also work to educate others on how to be a better ally to trans people and helping long marginalised communities play a greater role in shaping cultures around the world. In 2020 they were appointed as the Institute of Contemporary Art’s first-ever poet in residence in 2020. The following year, Jamal became the first Black trans model to walk the runway for Louis Vuitton. Through their powerful work spanning multiple types of media, Jamal has become “the voice of their generation,” as the late designer Virgil Abloh told Vogue in 2021.

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Natasha Silverbell, mother of three, former model, and CEO of Silver Bell Global, to explore parenting, identity, and the myth of the ‘perfect’ parent. Recorded at The Falcon, Natasha’s psycho-education retreat space, this episode explores what it really means to raise children in a world shaped by social media, pressure, and constant distraction while navigating work, recovery, single parenthood, and self-doubt. Natasha reflects on what she got right and what she’s learned about presence, boundaries, and repair. This conversation is about humility, nervous systems, and showing up as a human being - not an ideal. Whether you are a parent or a child, a carer, sibling, or someone who grew up feeling unseen, this episode is for you. Parenting is not about getting it right all the time. It’s about presence, honesty, and repair and how it’s never too late to begin again.

Natasha Silverbell is the CEO of Silver Bell Global, a former model and a leading voice in psycho-education and family systems. She works with parents, educators, and clinicians to build healthier, more connected family environments, grounded in nervous system awareness and emotional literacy. Natasha is a mother of three, and speaks candidly about recovery, work, and the realities of raising children without a blueprint.

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets psychiatrist and trauma pioneer Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of the seminal book The Body Keeps the Score. Recorded at Balliol College, Oxford, after he spoke at the Masters Event this wide-ranging conversation explores what trauma really is — beyond war and catastrophe and why connection, safety, and community are at the heart of healing. In this conversation they discuss how trauma lives in the body, how it shapes identity, and why silence and secrecy so often make suffering worse. From those suffering from dissociation, emotional numbness to chronic pain, immune illness, and loss of self, we hope this episode offers both clarity and hope as they explore what helps.
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk is a psychiatrist, researcher, and educator who has spent over five decades studying trauma and its effects on the body and mind. He is the founder of the Trauma Research Foundation and the author of The Body Keeps the Score, one of the most influential books on trauma ever written.
In this Conversation: 
What trauma actually is and why it’s not defined by the event alone, what is the difference between stress and trauma
How the body ‘keeps the score’ when the mind tries to move on 
Why secrecy and shame deepen trauma, and the difference between public trauma and private trauma
“Trauma is not what happens to you. It’s what happens inside you when you are left alone with what happened.” How trauma shapes identity — especially when it is rooted in childhood
Why talk therapy alone is often not enough - the healing power of groups and shared experiences
Loss of self — and why recovery is still possible and why community is the strongest antidote to hopelessness
“We don’t exist as individuals. We exist as members of a tribe. What to do if you feel alone, disconnected, or “beyond help”
