Wanda Canton

Wanda did not have a great break-up with her boyfriend, but it did spur her to get on stage for the first time... and explain how angry it made her feel.

From that moment, Wanda became a spoken word artist and over the years has helped to change the lives of many facing mental health crisis, through creative writing - including out very own Fearne.

In this ep they discuss their first meeting and how writing and performing in front of others can help in lots of ways.
