Headstrong

This week I am joined by 23 year old Yorkshire and England Spinner Dom Bess. We sat down during the isolation period before the India series to talk about how Dom fell into cricket. We also had a chat about his personal experiences with anxiety, and how he has found it challenging both on and off the field. Dom was exceptionally honest and open with me during this conversation, so I really hope you find it informative and beneficial.

This bonus episode is with Married At First Sight Star Jessika Power. Jessika is a great individual, and is being portrayed as a villain in the media and on the show. Arguably, this might be true due to the edit of the show. I chatted to Jess about her audition process for the show, the whirlwind experience and the legitimacy of the relationships, as well as the trolling and bullying she has experienced.
