In the second part of our conversation, Kieron and Jamie Cartwright move beyond the past and into the powerful, often turbulent journey of recovery and public disclosure.

Jamie opens up about the "reckless behaviour" that signalled he could no longer carry his secret alone and the moment he decided to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with fellow survivors. He takes us behind the scenes of his time on SAS: Who Dares Wins, explaining why he chose one of TV's most gruelling challenges as the platform to finally shout his truth from the mountaintop.

From the "Mirror Room" to a total "rewiring" of his life’s operating system through Stoicism, Jamie discusses what happens after the world knows your secret - and how he finally moved from simply surviving to truly living.
