In this week's conversation with Fearne, Will Young discovers the importance of actively connecting to others and physically moving trauma out of his body when he finds himself in a low place.

What is something that you try to do when you find yourself in a low place?

If you’re a high achiever, do you ever wonder if you sometimes use success to mask the pain? Performer Will Young recognises this is something he did for many years.

In this chat with Fearne, he explains how he spent much of his career comparing himself to others in a way that was crippling for his mental health, and they both explore why they struggle to deal with rejection. Will’s podcast, The Wellbeing Lab, is out now and Will’s new book Be Yourself and Happier: The A-Z of Wellbeing is out on April 21 via Penguin Books.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains conversations about suicidal thoughts.

William Robert Young is a British singer-songwriter and actor who came to prominence after winning the 2002 inaugural series of the ITV talent contest Pop Idol, making him the first winner of the worldwide Idol franchise.
