      <title>TRAILER: A Sonic Hug</title>
      <link>https://pod.co/a-sonic-hug/trailer-a-sonic-hug</link>
      <description>This thought-provoking series hears from people from different walks of life who deal, experience and battle mental health issues. Producer and mental health advocate, Halina Rifai, brings you their accounts and explores key themes that have impacted them including grief, body image and much more. Based on her own experiences, she felt it was time to start helping people tell their stories. It will be hard listening at times, but that’s how we can learn and understand things better. These are real life accounts from brave people and we can’t wait for you to meet them.
