Origin Story with David McIntosh Jr #10 - Rory McGuire - OWNing a Facial Birthmark - Time to Talk
I am delighted to welcome Equality Campaigner, Mental Health Champion and OWNer of a Facial Birthmark Rory McGuire to the podcast!
Thursday 4 February, is Time to Talk Day, which aims to encourage everyone to have a conversation about mental health.
One conversation has the power to make a big difference. Through our conversations we can bust myths and barriers, increase our understanding and end the mental health stigma.
Rory’s work has been featured on BBC Scotland, Channel 4, STV, Channel 5 and in newspapers across the country. Rory has been recognised as “Young Upstander of the Year” at the NO 2 H8 Crime awards in 2018.
Rory has been on a transformative journey. Not only has he transformed physically after tens of surgeries but mentally after opening up about his struggles. Rory details that “telling his story changed his life”. He is the living simulacrum of the importance of talking. For Rory, it really was time to talk.
I hope Rory’s story inspires you to talk when it is really time for you to talk.
Please share with any friends who might benefit from Rory’s perspective.
