Description

In this episode of Generation Uncharted, Lewis Oakley is joined by journalist and commentator Nichi Hodgson for a raw and revealing conversation about her lived experience of psychosis.

Opening up for the first time, Nichi shares how a devastating chain of events—including grief, sleep deprivation and trauma—triggered a full psychotic break that led to her causing a bomb scare mid-flight and being sectioned overseas.

From believing she was being trafficked, to being surrounded by armed guards in Singapore airport, this episode is a powerful exploration of what it means to lose touch with reality—and fight your way back.

Together, Lewis and Nichi unpack stigma, recovery, and the lessons we all need to learn about mental health, trust, and compassion.
