About Me

Do you want to find out why I jumped out of a plane at 12,000 feet? Have you ever wanted to find out more about what it’s like to live with a stutter? Would you like to join a community which talks about topics that geuinely matter to you? Well then, welcome aboard!

Hey, I’m James, welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs 👋

I was born and raised in the Swansea Valleys, and after spending 4 of the best years of my life at the University of Reading, I have returned home to kickstart my life in the working world. I think that it’s pretty safe to say that I have had a very unusual life, I have a very rare illness called Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, I’ve had a stutter for as long as I can possibly remember, I’ve jumped out of a plane at 12,00 feet raising money for The Alzheimer’s Society and so much more.

I’ll be sharing more of my journeys and experiences through life in my blogs, but here’s a little introduction to Sweeney’s Blogs:

On the 3rd of February 2019, I started Sweeney’s Blogs, where I wrote about topics such as Stuttering, Stress and Mental Health. The page is a lot more than just that, however, it’s a community dedicated to discussing the topics that genuinely matter to you in life, a page where you can feel valued and appreciated for what makes you an individual.

When it comes to how I am going to write for the page, I strive to combine both personal stories and experiences with proven facts and research, to present a fair and real view of the world around us. I’ll always seek to back up my points using evidence where I can and I’d welcome any constructive debates or thoughts that you may have surrounding our content.

I write 2 fresh blogs each week, every Monday and Saturday, so there’ll always be fresh content on the page to keep you engaged! All feedback is welcome too, so don’t be scared to drop me a message with your thoughts on the page and our blogs 🙂

Guest blogs are something that I would love to have more of on the page! If you have an idea or a story that you think will make a great blog/ blog series then please get in touch! We can discuss if you want to write the post, we both write it or I write the post and check it with you before publishing. More information can be found here:

We do also have our very own Spotify playlist, with over 100 hours of music, ranging from the 1960s all the way through to today. I like to try and update the playlist as much as I can, if you would be interested in giving it a follow or a listen, you can either search “Sweeney’s Blogs” on Spotify, or you van click the button below!
