This is a favourite as I am talking to a dear friend about being the partner of people navigating their mental health. It is an in depth and interesting point of view with great reflection.

I do apologise for the audio quality, I did not do well on this one.

Age does not dictate the validity of mental health

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

I found this to be an interesting conversation as it was with someone who is navigating mental health as a young person. I am impressed with how well they discuss their experience and apologise for my lack of ability to communicate in this episode. It is also infuriating how they are treated because of their age which, unfortunately, is very common.

What is logic?

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we discuss parenthood, the absence of trauma and the lack of control when it comes to Milkybar buttons!!

Perseverance moves us forward

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is an interesting episode delving into the impact we have on others, how that can affect our lives and the aftermath of it. We discuss the benefit of diagnosis and self esteem too.

No person is an island

How do I feel genuinely happiness?

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is a discussion about trying to take positive steps but there is not always happiness in success. What is genuine joyfullness?

It’s okay

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is another long one but we go on a journey through understanding repeat behaviours, our own values and how spiritualism can help certain people.

This is a long one…

World Mental Health Day special

This was a candid discussion with my friend, collaborator and local therapist Lucy where we discuss cause and effect, lifestyle impacts and the huge benefits of therapy in any form.

Please ensure if you are struggling then seek help through your GP and other services and please, please consider the benefits of therapy.

Why should the end be the end?

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This episode shows how far we can be pushed, how low we can go, how hard it can be and the realisations we can face to help us through. This was an inspiring episode with some relatable elements for me but an inspiring person to weather all that and be as open and positive as he is.

Starting over and valuing yourself

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is a great episode showing how we can rebuild ourselves and create our communities for support and help us flourish. Self belief is a big element in helping through the darker times.

Faith and fear

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is a good episode of how we catch ourselves when down and possible management options.
