What I admire about Jim is that he isn't clinging onto his past, and moves on to do what's best for him and the people in his life. What a pleasant, level-headed guy. Really enjoyed this genuine chat.

[@TheDiaryOfACEO]

thanks Joanne!

[@lisagreaves5361]

I would say talking about Tanya a fair few times online now, considering she never talks about him is kinda clinging on to the past! Just my opinion though!

[@TG0896]

@@lisagreaves5361 I think this may be the case because he's still quite active on KZbin / Instagram, so people will naturally be curious in him moving on - whereas Tanya isn't as active on these platforms anymore. I guess what matters is that when he does speak about her, it's not in a negative manner, which is great! I'm glad they have both moved on

After only a few minutes I was struck by what a decent, kind and mature gentlemen Jim is. A very interesting, eloquent and uplifting interview. My favorite so far.

[@sharongalloway3966]

I’ve watched Jim for years and loved this podcast so much. It’s great to hear him being so honest about him & Tanya. I saw a change in Tanya when she got seriously in to her “acting” and I felt that at the time I heard they had split up I thought the reason may have been due to Jim possibly wanting family etc, and Tanya not ready for that as she was off trying to become a big movie star. I actually thought it was Tanya that went in a different direction. Having listened to this I feel I may have hit the nail on the head. Jim is a true Gent and I would never have thought for a minute that he would have cheated. Jim & Sarah are going to be amazing parents and I wish them all the best. ❤️❤️

How does Steven get all his guests to be so raw open and honest!? Truly enjoyed this podcast and took from it, don’t be a victim, don’t explain, don’t complain and work hard and do what you love. I think doing what you love is important but sometimes u just need to pay bills so if you can’t do what u love in your spare time do what u enjoy so u have a balance!

[@b_r_a_n]

i think because steven is so warm & comforting

[@evamay7115]

[@amyarnett8143]

As someone who used to watch Jim, I've never felt more connected (for lack of a better word) to him. I really related to so many of these topics and I really appreciate the honestly because it has allowed me to reflect on my own experiences and goals. Thanks Jim for being open.

[@nolusizodlalisa5573]

South African 30something year old black lady who has absolutely no idea who who this guy is.....but I connected sooo much with him through everything he shared. I didn't even connect with him because I relate to most of it but mostly through the theme of empathy, I absolutely loved this interview. Steven, you are just effin brilliant, honestly!! With each interview that you you do I am left amazed of your ability to make people talk so honestly and so openly. Your talent is truly amazing

thanks so much emma 🙏🏽

[@veesvoyages]

I really enjoyed this interview. Jim was so raw and open and honest and I love when guests bring that to an episode so willingly. It was good to see this other side to Jim as I know of him from growing up watching him on KZbin but there is so much more to him beyond that and I appreciate that this interview divulged in that side more than the KZbin side of things, it was great to learn what other projects he's been working on and hearing about his personal life so huge respect for steering the conversations more on that side of things. I'm glad that he's in a good place and found happiness with Sarah and his children😊

[@ambersykes1070]

I’ve watched most of these interviews and I must say that this is by far my favourite. Jim is incredibly emotionally intelligent. The way he articulates his thoughts at such an elevated, yet accessible, way is very captivating.

This hit my differently. My dad was abusive as I was growing up, and he also has MS. It’s taken me a long time to heal from those wounds and see it the same way Jim does. Thank you for this. Growing up in a household like that he is describing is incredibly isolating, especially when the abuser is ill. I wish Jim and his family all the best 🧡

Sam mentioned it a few times in the early days of Pixiwoo. I have my suspicions about what happened. Sam’s the oldest and bore the brunt of the trauma. She’s an amazing woman. Judy, their mom is such a survivor, too. Great family!

[@sophiebateman7659]

Jim is so honest and I’ve had a very similar experience with my father. So it’s nice to be able to hear a similar experience as it’s hard to talk about with anyone. It’s brilliant how Jim has flipped around in a positive way which is great and is very lucky to have the family he does. Thank you for being so open.

[@TweetingRawr]

This is a really lovely interview. I've been a fan of Jim for a long time and I've always respected him and valued him and his content. I think it was brave for him to do this and I think this is a really honest portrayal of a guy who works hard. I just stumbled upon this video and its been so helpful for my own struggles right now. Jim's such a lovely man and I hope everyone else understands this too.

[@HollyLatimerX]

This was very insightful, I’ve watched Jim for years on KZbin and it was interesting to hear different aspects of his life that he has kept private previously. He seems like a great and genuine guy! ☺️

Aside from the childhood aspect. Which I know is a massive part of his journey. Much of this resonates with m,e when it comes to therapy and being unable to "turn off" my mind. This is because I have ADHD, and I pick up many of the traits in this podcast.

[@eliseamelia2232]

I used to watch Jim’s videos religiously and as I grew up I grew out of them... seeing him so raw and honest has shown me how much he’s grown up since my teen years and shows how gracefully someone grow up in the public eye and still be true to himself 🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 such a great podcast Steven 😊

[@lurveit]

How odd to have got so much backlash over something that wasn’t true and then lean the audience towards understanding that Tanya had actually moved on first. Leaving it at that has the audience now calling her the cheater but she possibly moved on first after they’d had this conversation of bringing the relationship to an end when Jim also acknowledged that they had been moving in separate directions for quite some time prior to the conversation. Who knows… all this should teach us is what we should already know - relationships are complex and unless you’re one of the two breaking up then stay out of it. I loved watching Jim and Tans vlogs and truly do wish them both all the very best ❤

As a current media production student I can only hope that I will be able to make content to this level one day.

[@ckrystal141]

I admire Jim and the Manchester club for standing up for what is right… you’re not going to stop the trolls but at a point a single vocalization of where you stand is necessary then leave it at that. Staying quiet sometimes comes off as complicity or like you don’t have a stance. Don’t fall trap to constantly defending but a single vocalization of stance then silence says a lot!

Absolutely loved this! Jim you should do more deep talking videos. I love psychology, human behaviour, where does it come from. None of us are perfect, we are all flawed in some way, but sometimes recognising negative behaviour is the road to healing and improving yourself. And also being proud of your qualities and who we are is more important than focusing on our negative points. You come across so well and so knowledgeable and interesting. I can see how much you love Sarah and how good she is for you. So you've definitely found your soul mate. 😊

I found out a lot. Was very surprised about his father. Also didn’t know his fiancé is pregnant 😍. I never knew he had studied psychology. I reflected on myself because I remember Jim and Tanya breaking up and Jim moving on and I was like omg they were so perfect together but really it’s none of my business and I thought it was nice how you concluded that breakups don’t have to be horrible and you shouldn’t stay in a marriage if it no longer feels right even if your partner is a nice person and you have great memories together. And in general I think online hate and abuse is absolutely terrible and people need to address it more.

I didn't know who it was until this podcast, but I am so impressed with his maturity and self awareness! People (especially young men!!) in the public eye need to preach about therapy and mental health SO much more, for this world to change for the better! I so wish I knew what I know now as a 40yo (regarding my upbringing, family dynamics, etc., which nearly destroyed me), as I strongly believe I would be in a better place in my life now, had I made those changes at the age of 25. Never too late though. Another wonderful interview! x ps. Steven you finally convinced me to try Huel (which I used to perceive as a fancy hipster drink for gym people), and I LOVE it!! Costs as much as a sandwich from Pret, but has SO much more value and fills me up for longer! :)

Great interview, really needed to hear this today. I don’t know a lot about Jim and his career but I’m in a similar situation as him in that we’re expecting our first child mid 2022. Having a lot of experience with mental health, namely depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder, my wife and I have real concerns about how we’ll navigate the issue of mental health with our child. Hearing Jim’s insight into anxiety and mental health and how he plans to navigate that with his child in the future was extremely enlightening and refreshing.
