This week I am joined by Graham who works as a HART paramedic and On call firefighter as we talk about Stress! We discuss the effects of not seeking help when experiencing stress and what this can ultimately lead to if not addressed. Graham talks through some of his own personal experiences and how he overcame them with the help of his family, friends and frontline family.

This week we welcome back Lisa to talk about food!! We talk about whether our children are getting enough nutritional learning at school, How a balanced food life supports mental health, how to make little changes here and there for a big benefit to your health and why in 2020 are children in the UK still going without food!

Its been a while since Mark and I last caught up, this week we have a chat about the end of lockdown, vaccines, Mental health budget announcement, and public sector pay freeze !! 

This week Mark and I talk about whether the right things are being taught at school, Life skills I feel are completely overlooked at school and I believe is a contributing factor in communication and financial issues in our society.  Have a listen send us your own thoughts and stories , we would love to hear from you ! Matt & Mark 

This week were joined by the lovely Lisa! Being a mental health advocate herself, Lisa felt she was ready to tell her story, her brother Paul tragically took his own life 5 years ago at the age of 30. Lisa talks to us honestly and openly about how that loss and the grief impacted her and her family as well as why talking is so so important in bridging that gap in Mental health. Lisa, thankyou for putting your faith in Mark and I, We hope you will join us again in the future :) x
