Jim Stanton talks about how she regained her belief that life is worth living

Stand-up comedian and stage producer Jim Stanton seems bright and bubbly but ongoing depression almost brought the show to end for this lovely young woman.

Coming from a rural background, Jim says she was always a natural performer but after moving away from home, struggled to find her feet without her supportive family close by.

She shares with Mike King and Dr David Codyre how it took a major crisis for her to seek the help from family and friends that she needed but wouldn’t ask for.

“The studio at Radio Live – the mics, TV cameras and cables everywhere – can be kind of intimidating for some guests. Jim wasn’t fazed however, says series director Marcus Clayton. “She has this quiet poise and tells her story in an easy, matter-of-fact manner, but she learned the hard way that life is worth believing in. “I think that events in her life and will resonate with certain viewers and hopefully they will be motivated to seek the right help as a response.”
