July 01, 2018 Ditch The Small Talk - Minisode EP 19.5 - Anxiety, being ill and why it's okay to log off
Hello!
This is the first of many minisodes of about ten minutes each, where I speak about a different topic.
This week I spoke about being ill and why it's okay to take a step back, deal with being ill and go back to work at your best. Keep calm and carry on is nonsense!
Let me know what you think....

June 11, 2018 Ditch The Small Talk - EP 19 - Erica
Hello,
This has been a week of ups and downs. I was lucky enough to get invited to present a talk on managing Mental Health in the workplace and a bit about how Mental Health Mates came about and that was great.
But. It has also been a week where I read that people whose work is important to me, took their own lives. I really hope that you talk to someone when you're feeling low. Really, really low and I hope that you also, in turn, listen to someone when they're feeling low.
In this episode, I spoke to my colleague and all round good egg - Erica. She is closely related to someone that has suffered from a mental health issue that I don't know very much about. It was great to have a conversation that was a bit different and taught me quite a bit about familial relationships. I hope that you feel the same.
As always.....
