In this episode of I'm Fine, Jean Campbell sits down with model and filmmaker Cherif Douamba to explore childhood loss, masculinity, self-worth and the healing power of creativity.

Born and raised in Ivory Coast, Cherif's life changed when he was scouted on Instagram and launched into the world of high fashion. But behind the success, he was struggling with loneliness, a need for validation and unresolved pain from losing his mother at just four years old.

Cherif opens up about how his childhood shaped his relationships, why professional success couldn't fill the emotional void he felt, and how the isolation of lockdown led him to discover filmmaking.

Through his films One Day and Scars, Cherif began exploring grief, family and the expectations placed on men, ultimately finding a new understanding of his father's experience and a path towards reconciliation.

Together, Jean and Cherif discuss emotional vulnerability, learning to love yourself, breaking free from societal expectations and finding hope through storytelling.

A moving conversation about turning pain into purpose, and how understanding our past can change our future.

In this episode:
- Growing up without his mother and the search for validation
- Finding success in fashion while struggling with loneliness
- Masculinity, vulnerability and emotional expression
- How filmmaking helped him process grief and reconnect with his father
- Learning self-love through relationships
- Finding hope, purpose and the courage to dream

Legendary British photographer and filmmaker Mark Lebon joins Jean Campbell for an open and characteristically candid conversation about addiction, recovery, fatherhood, creativity and romantic love.

Mark reflects on the moment seeing his young son compelled him to get sober, after believing his drug use might kill him. He explores what more than 30 years of recovery have taught him about emotional pain, self-abandonment, discipline and taking responsibility for his own healing.

Drawing on Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths, Mark also considers the relationship between desire and suffering, the impermanence of our emotional states and how these teachings have shaped his approach to pain and recovery.

They also discuss Mark’s influential creative career, his collaborations with Judy Blame and Christopher Nemeth, the process of bringing order to a chaotic life through his work, and why he has come to see pain as a warning, a boundary and a guide.

I'm Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Mo Gawdat, engineer, entrepreneur, and one of the world's most prominent voices on happiness and artificial intelligence, to explore grief, love, loss, and what it really means to be okay. Mo reflects on a life of extraordinary professional success that left him clinically miserable in his twenties, the Saturday morning his five-year-old daughter held up a mirror to the person he'd become, and the years of mathematical obsession that led him to reverse-engineer happiness itself.

Mo speaks with characteristic precision and unexpected tenderness about the loss of his son Ali in 2014, the teacher who spent 21 years showing his father how to accept life as it is, and whose death became the ultimate test of everything Mo had built. He draws a profound distinction between pain and suffering, reframes grief as displaced love searching for somewhere to go, and offers a vision of death, rooted not in scripture but in quantum physics and the theory of relativity.

Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer of Google X, bestselling author of Solve for Happy, Scary Smart and Unstressable, and founder of the One Billion Happy movement. This is an episode about the algorithm underneath all of it and the losses that proved it true.

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets model and entrepreneur Lottie Moss to explore what it’s like growing up in the public eye, the search for identity and validation, and finding her way back to herself. Lottie reflects on being a bubbly and confident child, her love of the spotlight and dressing-up box, the jelly shoes, and how the camera always found her, followed by the harder secondary school years which brought self-doubt, slut-shaming and the need for external validation amongst the social hierarchies of teenage girlhood.

Lottie was thrown into the spotlight, aged thirteen, at her half-sister (Kate Moss) wedding and scouted as a model. Lottie discusses feeling mismanaged and controlled by her agency, the loneliness beneath the glamour, and the moment COVID gave her space to ask whether any
of it was actually making her happy. She speaks candidly about how OnlyFans wasn’t rock bottom but led her to reclaiming creative control and an unexpected sense of community and reflects on the backlash, the media scrutiny that followed her and the point at which she checked herself into rehab for depression, and started to take back her power. 

Lottie Moss is an English model and entrepreneur, from high fashion to Only Fans, from growing up in the spotlight to modelling work, building her social platforms and hosting herpodcast Dream On This is an episode that explores what recovery, taking control and growthmean to her as she build something of her own.

I’m Fine hosted by Jean Campbell meets Former Royal Marines lawyer Martin Wade for a profound conversation about PTSD, military service, chronic pain, survival and the unexpected role art has played in rebuilding his life. In this conversation they discuss pain, compassion, responsibility; Martin reflects on the weight of serving in Afghanistan, the life-changing impact of his PTSD diagnosis, and the long, difficult path of learning to live with both physical and psychological pain, and the courage it takes to keep going when life has fallen apart. Through painting, Martin was able to express what words couldn’t, and creates works that connect to the human condition and the possibility of healing.

Martin Wade is an artist and veteran. Free from any classical training, he paints unhindered by convention and explores colour and composition on his own terms. Life's experiences brought him to the easel and his abstract works explore emotions, adversity and a survivor's instinct to recover against all the odds.  The emphasis of his art is not one of gloom brought about by trauma and the hidden wounds of war but one of optimism, compassion and faith in common humanity.
