This week on Inspired Edinburgh we have Lily Asch. Lily is a mental health advocate, storyteller and social entrepreneur.  As a teenager she was considered ‘unsafe to self’ and admitted to a psychiatric ward. For a long time she was ashamed of her experience, until she opened up and discovered the power of conversation. Having gained experience working with the likes of FreshSight and TEDx University of Edinburgh she's since gone on to found Real Talk, a social enterprise dedicated to mental health storytelling and wellbeing. Real Talk supports individuals in connecting to their narrative around experiences of mental ill health and crafts safe spaces for these stories to be shared to an audience, fostering conversation and connection.  We talk about her background, her mental health journey, the vision for Real Talk, her views on mental health today, as well as our favourite topics - legacy, purpose and changing the world.   00.00 Trailer 00.15 Introduction 01.30 Lily growing up 03.00 Schooling in the US 05.00 Lily’s earliest mental health experiences 07.20 What led to Lily being taken to a psychiatric ward? 09.50 How was Lily labelled ‘unsafe to self’? 12.00 What was the ward like? 15.00 Does Lily think she should have been there? 17.15 What was the recovery process? 19.50 Lily’s self education around emotional awareness 22.30 How did Lily end up in Edinburgh? 24.40 Ways Edinburgh differs from the US 27.00 How did Real Talk come about? 30.00 How does Real Talk work and what is the format? 32.00 What does storytelling mean to Lily? 33.40 What is the vision for Real Talk? 36.00 Lily’s views on mental health today 39.00 Technology effects on mental health 40.20 Doing TED talks 42.15 Speaking advice 45.00 Lily on her purpose 46.30 Lily on legacy 47.20 What is Lily most grateful for in life? 47.50 If Lily could master a skill what would it be? 49.10 How does Lily define success? 50.20 Is Lily successful now? 51.20 Who or what inspires Lily? 52.50 Lily’s life goals 55.45 Best piece of advice 56.45 What would Lily say to her 14 year old self 57.20 Changing the world   Like and Follow Lily at: https://www.facebook.com/realtalkstorytelling https://twitter.com/realtalkstories https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilyiasch https://twitter.com/lilyiasch   Like and Follow Inspired Edinburgh here: http://www.inspiredinburgh.com https://www.facebook.com/INSPIREDINBURGH https://www.twitter.com/INSPIREDINBURGH https://www.instagram.com/INSPIREDINBURGH
