On today's 1 in 4, I'm chatting to Esther Nagle. I met Esther at an online networking event in October last year where we hit it off straight away talking about yoga, both living an alcohol-free life, and about Esther's ADHD so it seemed ideal for her to come on the podcast.

On today's 1 in 4, I am joined by Dan Keeley. Dan is a mental health activist, keynote speaker, founder and mission director of #AREWEOKUK. In the podcast we talk about Dan's diagnosis of bi polar, his epic run from Rome to London in 2017 and what he's been up to since and plans for the future.

On today's 1 in 4, I chat with Sara Foxley. Sara and I met at Henley Literary Festival in October 2019 when she joined the Mental Health Mates big walk. Since then we have become firm Instagram buddies, sharing our mental health stories and today talk in person, in the middle of woods sitting on logs, about people pleasing, boundaries, exercise and mental health in the workplace.

On today's 1 in 4, I talk with James Gwinnett. James and I met at the Make a Difference Summit back in October where he asked if one of his colleagues could come on the podcast, but once I heard his story, I knew he would have to come on instead! In the podcast, amongst other things, we chat rugby, alcohol and James' love of running really long distances!

On today's 1 in 4, as a little Christmas special I am lucky enough to be joined again by Jason McMahon. Jason was one of my first guests on the podcast back in May and lots has happened for him since them, so I thought it appropriate to bring him back on!

On today's 1 in 4, I talk with Lorna Hayward, founder and host of a ladies-only night PIZZUP - a bloody good night out for mums who love to party! Lorna and I have known each other for about 20 years and, like me, Lorna is very open about her struggles with mental illness, in particular her anxiety and OCD and most recently depression.
