Some people don’t just write music. They survive through it.

This week on The Human Mask, I sat down with Niamh, known professionally as West Girl, for one of the most honest and emotionally raw conversations we’ve had.

Niamh has faced more than many people experience in a lifetime. From battling addiction to navigating some of life’s darkest moments, her story is one of pain, resilience, and hope. Yet despite everything, she’s held onto something incredibly rare: a childlike spirit, a unique outlook on life, and a determination to keep creating.

Today, she’s channelling her experiences into music, using it as a way to process the past, express who she is, and connect with others. Having recently signed to a record label, an exciting new chapter is beginning.

This isn’t just a conversation about music. It’s about identity, survival, self-expression, and what can happen when someone refuses to let their past define their future.

If you’ve ever wondered how people find light after darkness, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

What happens when your entire identity is built around one dream… and that dream is taken away?

This week I sat down with James Roffey for one of the most raw and honest conversations we’ve had on The Human Mask.

At just 17, James was released from professional football after spending years in the academy system. What followed was a decade-long battle with an eating disorder that nearly cost him his life more than once. His story shines a light on something rarely talked about: male eating disorders, identity, self-worth, and the pressure young athletes face when the thing they’ve built their life around suddenly disappears.  

Today, James has rebuilt his life, becoming a mindset and strength coach, helping others navigate the challenges he once faced himself. But this isn’t just a story about football or recovery. It’s a conversation about who we are when the mask comes off and life doesn’t go to plan.  

If you’ve ever struggled with identity, purpose, mental health, rejection, or simply finding your place in the world, this episode is for you.

What happens when a nuclear engineer steps beyond logic and into the human mind?

In this episode, I sit down with Montse, a nuclear engineer, TEDx speaker, philosopher, and spiritual thinker and we go far beyond surface-level conversation.

This isn’t just about science or spirituality. It’s about the space where both collide.

We explore what it really means to be human.
Self-awareness. Identity. The patterns we live by without questioning.
And whether logic alone is enough to understand life or if something deeper is at play.

Montse brings a rare perspective. Highly analytical, yet deeply reflective. Structured thinking meets inner awareness.

This conversation challenges the way you see yourself, your decisions, and the world around you.

If you’ve ever questioned who you are beneath the roles, beliefs, and conditioning, this is for you.

Watch, reflect, and decide for yourself.

Algie has lived a life most people could never imagine.

After losing both of his parents before the age of seven, he grew up facing hardship that led him down a path of crime and years in and out of prison. In this raw and honest conversation, Algie opens up about the choices he made, the consequences he faced, and the reality of growing up without guidance.

Today, he’s focused on turning that pain into purpose.

Through music, his weekly live podcast, a clothing brand, and a new mini-series based loosely on his life, Algie is trying to reach the next generation and show young people that your past doesn’t have to define your future.

This episode is open, candid, and deeply human. We talk about loss, prison, identity, accountability, and what it really takes to change your life.

In this episode of The Human Mask Podcast, Alex Walker sits down with Mike Burton, a positive motivational speaker known for helping people rebuild belief when life knocks them sideways.

This isn’t surface-level “just think positive” talk.

Mike breaks down what real positivity looks like when you’re under pressure, doubting yourself, or stuck in a season that feels heavier than it should. We explore resilience, identity, and how your internal dialogue can quietly dictate the direction of your life.

In this episode, we cover:

Why mindset isn’t about hype — it’s about discipline

How to stay grounded when circumstances aren’t ideal

The link between self-awareness and genuine confidence

Rewriting the story you keep telling yourself

What separates temporary motivation from long-term mental strength

If you’ve ever felt like the world is loud, negative, or trying to pull you off track — this conversation will challenge you to look inward first.

Because positivity isn’t pretending everything’s fine.

It’s choosing how you respond when it isn’t.

In this episode of The Human Mask Podcast, Alex Walker sits down with Claire Lilly, creator of the Forcer Protocol, a framework designed to pull people out of autopilot and back into conscious control of their lives.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about identity, self-awareness, and the subtle ways we give our power away without realising it. Claire breaks down how the Forcer Protocol works in real life, not as motivation or mindset fluff, but as a practical way to interrupt patterns, rebuild self-trust, and make deliberate choices again.

In this episode, we explore:

What actually causes people to lose agency over their own lives

The difference between reacting and choosing

How identity is formed, reinforced, and quietly outsourced

Why self-awareness is the prerequisite to real change

The practical foundations of the Forcer Protocol

This episode isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about removing what isn’t you.

If you’re interested in human behaviour, personal responsibility, and what it really takes to regain control, this conversation will land.

What happens when identity, creativity, and self-awareness collide?

In this episode of The Human Mask, host Alex Walker sits down with Rick S Carr, a working actor known for his role in the UK series Brassic. But this isn’t a conversation about credits or career ladders.

Rick describes himself as a wandering creative — and from there, the conversation opens up into something deeper: who we are beneath the roles we play, on screen and in real life.

This episode isn’t about acting technique or chasing visibility. It’s about identity, presence, uncertainty, and what happens when you stop clinging to a fixed version of yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

What it really means to ask someone “Who are you?” — without the labels
The psychological impact of playing roles for a living
Creativity, instability, and the cost of not knowing where you fit
The tension between structure and freedom in a creative life

Why many people feel lost when the mask slips — and why that might be necessary

How self-awareness changes the way you relate to work, ambition, and self-worth .

Whether you’re an actor, creative, business owner, or someone questioning their direction, this conversation offers a grounded look at identity beyond titles — and the courage it takes to live without a script.
