In Episode 5 Rachael has a yarn with Pam about how easy it is to just crack on with life and not pay attention to your mental health. 

Pam shares her experiences in seeing a specialist bereavement counsellor and talks really openly about miscarriage. 

If this topic is something you have put a boundary around for your own well being, please mind yourself and do what is best for you. 

Pam talks about the Miscarriage Association and you can find them on social media or their website www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk

Stick around to the end for some more in depth enneagram chat and the usual book and pod recommendations. 

Have you ever thought about seeing a therapist/counsellor, but something stopped you. 

We want to normalise talking about therapy, so that it's as normal as talking about going to Tescos, what you're watching on Netflix or all the mistakes the ref made on Saturday. 

Host Rachael talks about how important it was for her to hear people talking openly about therapy to encourage her to start seeing someone. Rachael and her guests talk about what it can be like to be in therapy, as well as a few tangents along the way, and we hope you find it interesting and beneficial. 

In this first episode Rachael speaks to Cat, a social worker from London about her different experiences in therapy as well learning random facts, like how they were both born in the same hospital and their shared love of tea.
