This week I was joined by Tom Davies, host of the "Proper Mental Podcast", to discuss his curiosity about the subject, his own challenges and struggles with mental health and mental illness.

It's actually quite challenging to write a short, sharp, eye-catching and succinct caption to lure you in, because, quite honestly, it just felt like an exchange between mates that just so happened to be recorded.

We spoke about sobriety, coping, numbing, mental health tool kits, and happy-clappy mental health messaging that still avoids uncomfortable conversations about those in the deepest and darkest depths of mental illness and the debilitating effects on their lives.

Therapy , medical interventions, and so much more

Such a thoroughly enjoyable and educational chat with Shannon for this podcast; we covered so much, it's almost entirely impossible to condense into a short, sharp caption for you, so here are just a few of the things we discussed:

"Give them what they want before you give them what they need"

A total joy to have this discussion with Eleanor, covering the vast aspects of body image, our culture, how health and fitness messaging can help and hinder our body image, and the longer-term mental health implications.

This was such a fascinating chat! We also discuss how the use of body transformations in the fitness space teeters on the edges of inspiration, intimidation and occasionally desperation.

We would love to hear your thoughts!
