Nisha Coleman is a great storyteller and has lived an extremely interesting life. Some of the stories as mentioned in the program, such as being rescued by Princess Bride’s Westley in Halifax, seem like they would be fabricated, but they all happened. The stories are all compelling. Even those delving into tough topics like suicide and mental health are handled very well.

Her message that even that even simple things like a smile can make a great difference to someone really hits home and ties together her narrative beautifully.
