Chris Birch

On this special Time to Talk Day episode, we’re joined by Chris, an entrepreneur with a powerful story of resilience. At just 23, he faced redundancy, which led to a period of homelessness, struggles with mental health, and a battle with self-doubt. Through perseverance, support, and thecourage to seek help, Chris rebuilt his life—ultimately creating a self-sustaining future and founding a CIC to support creatives and artists.


In this deeply honest conversation, we discuss the emotionaltoll of redundancy, the stigma of homelessness, the importance of asking for help, and the life-changing impact of counselling. Chris also shares his journey into self-employment and how he’s using his experiences to support others.


This episode is a reminder that speaking up about our struggles can change lives. If you or someone you know is facing challenges, know that you’re not alone.


🔊 Tune in now for an inspiring and open conversation.
