Description

Ione Butler is a British actress, voice-over artist, and entrepreneur who recently filmed for Marvel Studios’ upcoming spy thriller, Black Widow. Stirred by her own experience with adversity and challenges, Ione created the online platform Uplifting Content to share empowering and inspirational stories that encourage us to act and create a better world for ourselves and others. She is a true rebel who reminds us that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Her book, Uplifting Stories: True Tales to Inspire You to Action, continues this mission of uplifting people by telling stories of how remarkable individuals, such as Kyle Maynard and Doniece Sandoval, overcame adversity and created an impact in the world. There is no better time for us to consume more positive, inspirational content than today - and Ione is a powerful storyteller who meets this need.

Ione joins me today to discuss how positive, inspirational content can impact our wellbeing. She shares her struggles with mental health issues and how she coped with her depression when she was younger. She explains how what we put in our bodies in all forms - whether its food or news media - can physically affect us and our health. She also explains what post-traumatic growth is and explores how we can transform life’s tribulations into a catalyst that can help us change the world.

“Surround yourself with stories of people who have overcome and persevered. They can give you strength and hope.” - Ione Butler
