The Rainbow Mind Podcast is where queer minds meet bold conversations. Brought to you by Rainbow Mind, a pioneering LGBTQIA+ mental health organisation, this podcast explores the intersections of identity, wellbeing, culture, and community — with honesty, compassion, and pride.


Hosted by Stephen Griffiths, our Therapeutic Services Manager, each episode features influential queer icons, mental health advocates, and lived experience voices from across the UK. Together, we unpack the personal and systemic — from navigating mental health and inequality to celebrating queer joy and resilience.


Disruptive, evolving, and unapologetically queer-led, The Rainbow Mind Podcast is more than a series — it’s a movement for belonging, empowerment, and thriving with pride.


Tune in and be part of a community that champions LGBTQIA+ mental health.

  • Ali Bromley: Neurodivergence & Queerness
    Jul 30 2025

    In this episode of The Rainbow Mind Podcast, Stephen is joined by the brilliant Ali Bromley — forensic psychologist, Big Brother winner, and passionate advocate for neurodivergent and queer visibility — for a deeply honest and insightful conversation about identity, representation, and mental health.


    Ali opens up about her time in the Big Brother house, sharing what it was like to navigate the public eye as a neurodivergent lesbian and how she stayed grounded in compassion throughout. Her reflections offer a powerful perspective on the importance of visibility and what it means to be truly seen.


    We also explore the intersections of neurodivergence and queerness, and how these overlapping identities can impact mental wellbeing — from emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity to anxiety, depression, and the need for more nuanced conversations in mainstream media.


    With warmth, clarity, and courage, Ali brings a vital voice to this ongoing series of conversations — reminding us that compassion, in all its forms, is essential to understanding and supporting both neurodiversity and queerness.

  • Dr Cheddar Gorgeous: Gender, Drag, and Living Beyond the Binary
    Jun 16 2025

    In the premiere episode of The Rainbow Mind Podcast, we’re joined by cultural icon Dr Cheddar Gorgeous — acclaimed drag artist, academic, and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist — for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about queer identity, gender, and mental health.


    Cheddar reflects on their journey with drag as both art and activism, and how it has shaped their relationship to gender, vulnerability, and self-expression. Comfortable using he, she, or they pronouns, Cheddar challenges rigid definitions of identity and invites us to explore life beyond the boxes society places us in.


    We also dive into masculinity, the realities of chemsex and addiction in the LGBTQIA+ community, and the impact of social media on connection and mental wellbeing.


    With candidness, humour, and heart, Cheddar helps us kick off The Rainbow Mind Podcast in a way that sets the tone for everything to come.
