Finding Your Feet

In this episode we are joined by psychotherapist and best selling author, Owen O'Kane to discuss everything that is standing in your way from feeling happiness and inner peace.

Owen has over 25 years of experience and spent a lot of his career working with patients in end of life care who were facing imminent death. From his breadth of experience he has a very well rounded view on mental health and a lot of valuable advice on how to best manage your own mental health, as you navigate through the ups and downs of life.

We discuss the biggest barriers he see's in patients when it comes to happiness, why practising self compassion and changing how you relate to your negative emotions is the key to overcoming poor mental health, his biggest learnings from treating patients who were dying and the perspective shift that experience gave him to make sure we live life fully. As well as some very practical advice on managing anxiety & panic attacks, and how we should be viewing our mental health post pandemic.

This episode is insightful, entertaining and full of comfort as Owen reminds you its totally ok to experience to periods of poor mental health during tough times, it's part of your humanity. But there is always brighter days ahead and simple ways to get there, step by step, day by day.

Join Grace and Abby in this episode as they discuss their views on the recent announcement of Molly Mae becoming the creative director of fast fashion retailer, Pretty Little Thing.

They discuss how we can take inspiration from young women such as Molly Mae who have achieved success the non conventional way and gone against the rule book, regardless of what people may think.

This announcement reflects the new world of career opportunity we are in and is reminder of the kind of moves retail businesses will make as we adapt to a new world within fashion too. They also discuss how you can use your envy and jealousy to increase your chances of success, not lower your vibration.

When it comes to careers, we are very quick to put people in boxes and pigeon hole others down certain paths, it takes bravery to break out of these invisible barriers and back yourself. Have a listen to this episode to put a positive spin on this announcement and take every bit of inspiration that you can.
