  • THE CONVERSATION....RECOVERY
    [Mental health] recovery is not the same as a cure. Recovery means being able to create and live a meaningful life and contribute to your community, with or without mental health issues. Recovery is about all of your life, not just your symptoms. It involves: finding hope, and developing self-esteem and resilience; having a sense of purpose and meaning in your life; building healthy relationships; [and] gaining independence.”

  • THE CONVERSATION..... GRIEF
    “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, of unspeakable love.”

  • THE CONVERSATION.... OPINIONS!!
    Opinions. Everybody’s got one, and a lot of people think that their’s are the only ones that matter! Which is fine, and each to their own, however there’s a huge difference between constructive opinions vs. destructive opinions; today, I’m going to be focusing on the negative effects of destructive opinions alongside the positive effects of constructive opinions.

  • THE CONVERSATION.....REGRETS
    regrets will eat away at you if you let them, but they serve no useful purpose other than to show us what to do differently in the future. You cannot change the past, only learn from it. If you made a mistake: learn the lesson you need to learn, put things right and forgive yourself… then get on with living your life, one day at a time and with your eyes forward, instead of constantly looking back over your shoulder. Treat yourself with kindness and compassion, and choose to live a life where you reject regrets and, instead, embrace personal growth.

  • THE CONVERSATION....FEAR!
    Fear. It’s one of the most basic survival instincts we have – it’s what helped our ancestors to know when it was time to run so they wouldn’t be eaten by a sabre-tooth tiger or one of the other thousands of giant things that were trying to have them for dinner. As our lifestyles have evolved over the centuries and millennia, we’ve moved beyond the need to be constantly ‘on alert’ in order to survive, however for a lot of us that instinct – the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ response – can be over-active, or it can be hard to push through it so that we can do things that challenge us. Today we’re going to discuss how to get past fear so you can live your life to the fullest.

  • THE CONVERSATION....SELF - TALK
    We all have that little voice inside our head that tells us when we’re doing well or where we might need to do better. But when that voice becomes overly critical and belligerent, you need to remember that you don’t have to put up with that crap – take control and stop giving that voice power. Good mental health takes daily effort, and if you’ve had difficulties with negative self-talk then know that it is absolutely possible to turn it around with continued practice, and taking it one day at a time.

  • THE CONVERSATION……STRESS!!!!

    When stress gets out of control, however, and you feel constantly nervous or on edge, then it can be utterly exhausting, and if it goes on for more than just a few days then it can cause long-term damage to both your mental and your physical health. That’s why dealing with stress is so important because it’s bad for your health and there is absolutely no sugarcoating that fact, so let’s be clear – too much stress can kill you.

  • THE CONVERSATION……BAGGAGE

    This week we’re talking about baggage – what emotional baggage is, why we can sometimes become weighed down by unresolved stuff from our past, and how to work through it so you’re not carrying it around for the rest of your life. So, let’s talk!

    Let me just take a moment here to say what ‘dealing with baggage’ isn’t about. It isn’t about just sucking it up or getting over it. It isn’t just about saying “it is what it is” and thinking that you’re all done with your baggage. And it’s not something that you just do once and tick off your list – it’s a journey, not just a destination. And yes that’s a cliché and no I don’t care, because every cliché is grounded in truth and has something to teach us.

  • THE CONVERSATION….SELF CARE

    What things do you do every day to look after your physical, mental and spiritual health? What do you do to relax? And what things do you do to relax that might not be in your best interests? We all have control over what we do every day to look after our health and wellbeing, and it’s the choices we make and how highly we value the need for self-care that can determine what happens next in our life. Today I’m going to be talking about what self-care is (and isn’t), what effective self-care looks and feels like, why self-care plays such an important role in our lives, and some of the things you can do every day to maintain or improve your mental health and wellbeing.

  • THE CONVERSATION.......TAKING CHANCES

    Have you ever wanted to do something you were passionate about but haven’t because something has held you back? This week’s episode is all about taking chances – what holds us back, the difference between a calculated risk and a regular risk, as well as how (and why) to push through and take more calculated risks in life.
