Rory Smith is a podcast creator & host, interviewer, mental health advocate and motivational speaker
From Rory... I've always struggled with my mental health; anxiety and depression to name but a few. Through my dark times, even as a child, I've always been comforted by human interest interviews on TV and radio. The guests made me feel I'm wasn't alone in my darkness. It's why I've always wanted to help people to get their stories, particulary of overcoming adversity, out there - because I’ve been through it too. I know how it feels to have that much pain built up inside. It's why I've come to realise the reason why I've always known the true power and impact of sharing stories.

#20 Gambling Life and Death, Former Professional Cricketer Patrick Foster
Patrick Foster spent his life chasing his sporting dreams in the hope the darkness he felt would disappear - but even huge success on the outside couldn't fix how he felt on the inside. He appeared to 'have it all' but he was distressingly hiding a debilitating gambling addiction. Huge bets led to hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of debt - even losing £50k on a single horse. But gambling to him was never about the money. It was something else which he only found out during his recovery.

How to be happy by one of UK's happiest people | Anthony Bennett | Your Story with Rory Smith|S2 Ep3
Its a well known fact that women are abused more than men and there would be uproar if it was a woman who suffered this BUT she was SOME PSYCHOTIC BITCH. What she did in his own house was un-believable - if its correct to say HE IS LUCKY to be alive. HOPE the Law threw the full force of the law at her. Michelle's picture & details SHOULD BE OUT there like the most wanted on a law enforcement agency so no one else suffers what this man went through. Her brother's were probably a figment of her imagination to give her more power. How would he ever feel safe or happy back in his own house again. Losing her power - hope Michelle got a taste of her own medicine in jail.
My goodness! May you continue to heal and be blessed with a happy, healthy life!🌷
Beautiful words Sandra, Rory 🙏
Best explanation I ever heard , so brave
Hi Rory
I was brought up in an environment where my father terrorised my mother, myself, 4:01 and my brother and sister. He was sexually abusive to me, and I ran away from home at the age of fifteen. Abusers are vicious cowardly bullies, and I applaud those who survive, and achieve success in their lives.
Thank you for sharing part of your story. I hope you are on a path of healing, love and joy that you deserve 🙏🙏🙏
I've listened to many of Anneke's interviews. This was a great job by the interviewer. ❤
Thank you for your kind words. It was a true privilege to be in conversation with Anneke - a true hero of our generation 🙏🙏🙏
So evil poor man
Jealousy is a HUGE issue. Jealousy is insanity. Run for yr life.
Great interview mate! Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much Max! Really appreciate it!! Rory 👍👍
Another insight to other people's troubles, Rory. Great podcast x
Thank you as always Auntie Trev! Hope you're well? 🙏🙏🙏
@@rory__smith That's very kind of you to ask. I'm doing OK thank you. 😜🤗💕
Situations like this is why I am afraid to be in a relationship
this is part of the reason myself and so many people my age are terrified of dating. i'm a young man, i'm only 20 years old, i've never even entered the world of dating, and i'm not sure that i ever will. it's just so terrifying that the person i trust enough to open up to and love could be physically abusive, deal me permanent damage or kill me, and when i reach out for help i end up in prison. it's horrifying to think about, really, and i know i'm not the only one who feels this way. i know i can't cause a paradigm shift in how our society and the justice system is built, but i'd like to hope this is something that could be changed in my life time.
LIAR !!!!!
Another interesting interview, full interview well worth a listen.
Thank you as always! Hope you're well! 🙏
Grrreat interview, inspirational guest ! Ben, you are a true advocate of lived experience.
He certainly is! A true inspiration. Thanks so much for listening and for your words! Rory 🙏
In NZ we have support groups for men in every city and some of the smaller towns. They are all run by men, and there are even safe places for them to go and stay. They can be found at the front of the phone book and one magazine listed al of the places with phone numbers to call, all throughout NZ.
Thank you for sharing! Rory 🙏

Another belter of an interview, Rory. It was so interesting, as I can relate to some of the heady days of being gay in the 70's and 80's. Well done again ❤
Thank you for sharing that! And ALWAYS for your support!! It honestly means a lot so thank you so much for listening!
More men need to feel safe to speak out . 💜 A survivor and a woman. Abuse is Abuse. I hope you have healed, She was A wolf in sheep's clothing. You ARE a decent guy, never forget that! ❤ from 🇺🇸. What an awful Harpy. Truly insane. What a clever plan! It is a sin nobody helped you.
What a lovely comment - thank you for sharing! Rory 🙏
I feel you, Annekes story inspired me to save my life, truth 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for sharing that. I hope you have hope for the future and I hope you have good support around you for your healing and recovery journey. I wish you every good wishes with that - I really do. I'm thinking of you - please keep in touch with your journey 🙏🙏🙏
@@rory__smith 🙏🙂🙏✨️🙏
I am glad you speak out on what happened to you. People often do not understand what domestic violence really means. She should not have any access to your home. However, I am not so sure that they would have acted different with females, who are abused. Some of them suffered many attacks, with the police involved. But I am so happy to hear that you are out of this situation now.
I will break my silence too, and share my story as well. Thank you, for this podcast!
Wow Alex - this is exactly why I do this podcast - to help others see themselves in people's stories. I'm so totally humbled that Lisa's story has helped you. And well done on reaching a point to share your story. I hope you're very proud of yourself! Thank you for listening and for your lovely comment! Please keep in touch, Rory
Went through something similar, stayed for the babies sake. She then accused me of child abused, after years of investigation Social Services awarded me my daughter and forbade her unsupervised contact. Horrendous memories of a woman I once loved
So sorry to hear this. I hope your recovery and healing is going well 🙏
My comment was removed for some reason Rory so I left it on you insta .
A powerful statement. Nice to here your feeling better now.
Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
I loved this podcast with fats Timbo . She really is a lovely person and it angers me that people were mean to her , just because she was much shorter than them . Very well done, Rory .
Thank you!! Glad you loved it - because I love Fats!! She's amazing! So inspirational!! Rory
Thank you Ian. As a fellow survivor, I've learnt alot about the DV perspective from the male side and it is the same relationship with a potentially very different perspective from onlookers. If a woman has a bruise a first thought is DV (and that's not to downplay a womans experience they are the same as any survivor) but the contrast is a man who has been assaulted instantly looks like a trouble maker and one to avoid and that locked you in a horrific place even more so. So thank you, I've learnt something to look out for, for potential DV in men.
Thank you for taking the time to write this and share this - and I'm glad Ian's story has taught you an important lesson. Rory 🙏
An absolutely joyous positive lady, enjoyed the chat immensely
Very moving and positive
Thank you Lyn xx
Inspirational
She really is... I think she's simply amazing! So honest. Thank you for listening Lyn!! Xx
Interesting
Amazing journey
It really is Lyn! An incredible man! X
Morning Rory. Thanks for an interesting episode. It sounds like Jon lives life at a slower/more relaxing pace
Thanks so much! Jon is a beautiful man with a beautiful soul. Such wisdom! Thank you for your lovely words (as always!) Rory
So devastating 😢 Thank God you came back from this terrible ordeal 😢❤
Excellent!! Thank you for this!
Thank you Rory for having me on your podcast and increasing awareness so we can change laws and support survivors and those who work with them🙏🏻🙇🏻♀️
Thank YOU for all you do. I'm just the vessel for your story and mission. It was so lovely getting to know a part of you and thank you for sharing your voice 🙏🏻
1st You have a great Podcast, Rory.
I'm glad Lisa survived her terrible childhood and has blossomed into this lovely lady. Good work, Rory.
Thank you so much for your support 🙏🏻
Very Well Done Lisa and Rory! I applaud your continued efforts to illuminate and expose the vile segments of our society and how, exactly, they operate in such a covert fashion. Lisa's story is told via her bravery and innate ability to overcome, and she's gone on to turn a horrific story into an opportunity to help other survivors unpack their ordeals and understand they were not at fault, they were not a terrible person, they did not "ask for it". I know from personal experience that it takes years of dealings with the repercussions of S A, and all of the players involved, which can then be unraveled to finally view the twisted thinking involved, and it's worth every moment to work with a therapist (like Lisa) to get to the other side of the maze and to rediscover the real You. Beyond that, exposing abusers for what they are is paramount to increasing awareness and dismantling the veiled evil intentions these twisted minds use to harm others for the sake of their perversions. Thank you, Lisa and Rory, for all you do to help others!❤
Thank you Cherie for your comments and sharing your words, Rory 🙏
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! It’s important to expose the perpetrators and guide survivors to healing. Good will win! 🙏🏻✊🏻
Oh Rory, that is horrifying, such a sad thing to happen to a child. It boils my p*ss (sorry for the expletive) when this happens to children. Well done for tackling this sensitive issue and affording respect and dignity to Lisa. Trev.
Yes thank you to Rory. And thank you to you and for supporting survivors and healing 🙏🏻
It was so brave of this lady to talk about what happened to her at the hands of some very sick adults. Nothing is worse than abusing and violating a child and taking away their innocence. It breaks my heart to hear things like this, Rory . This is a very hard subject to discuss. This lady sounds so grounded and brave after all that she has been through . A true survivour.
Thank you so much for your support, kindness and your time 🙏🏻
Oh Rory, what a sad experience for them. Great podcast as always mate. Congratulations and well done. p.s. my name is Trev, SSM was a nickname I acquired as a spotty youth - lol x
Thank you as always Trev!! I don't suppose you're Instagram's famous Auntie Trev are you?
@@rory__smith I am indeed !!
Ah!! That makes sense!! Hope you're well Auntie Trev!
@@rory__smith Thank you, kind sir. I am doing well (for a 72 year old). I hope all is good with you and yours. Take care and be happy.🥰
These details are things most of the general public never think about. The first 1:40 of the introduction was spoken thoughtfully/nicely articulated
Thank you as always 🙏
Woah crazy
Great podcast Rory. It's a real insight to the struggles that some people get into. She sounds like a lovely person, that has learned from her mistakes. Well done mate 💕
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks as always for listening Michael! Santis sure is one remarkable woman! Hope you're well, Rory

5 star again, thanks
Thank you as always Rob!!
This was a wonderful podcast Rory. I have a friend with a spending addiction. This helped me to understand it , so much better and be more supportive . Thank you so much .
Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly why the podcast was created - to inform, inspire and make change so thank you! Hope your friend is ok.
There are many women who should never have had children - unfortunately single parenthood w/the primary parent being a woman has robbed children of a father's influence. Although there are definitely many men that should not be anywhere near a child. I am so glad to hear that this man continues to follow a path toward inner healing.
My heart is sad after hearing this man's story... grooming is so insidious that the victim isn't even aware that it is happening. After the 1st assault there is a shock factor - fight, flight or freeze... the victim is numb. Dumbfounded by what occurred. I am so glad he is free from that monster... the hour will come & she will pay a hefty price for the suffering she caused in this man's life.
