Mental health is more than a checkbox, it’s about creating cultures of care that truly make a difference.

In the latest episode of Natterbox, Dave Scholes of Six Connections  shares his journey after losing a close friend to suicide, and how his business is helping to break the stigma by encouraging real, human conversations — in workplaces, pubs, and communities.

Because talking about mental health is more than raising awareness, it’s about building understanding, compassion and lasting change.

In this heartfelt episode of Natterbox, Nicola and Chris are joined by a very special guest - Chris’s wife and Forbes Solicitors Partner, Kella. Together, they open up about the personal side of mental health, exploring what Chris’ journey has meant for their family.

Kella also shares her own ongoing experience with menopause, offering candid reflections and relatable insights.

As always, the episode starts with Chris and Nicola's uplifts - those small but meaningful moments that have brought them joy.

Welcome to the very first episode of Natterbox! Hosts Nicola Dawn and Chris Bowers kick things off with a truly insightful guest — Laura Docker, Debt Collect Team Leader at Forbes Solicitors.

Laura brings not just her professional expertise, but also a deeply personal perspective as she opens up about living with ADHD. From candid reflections on her school years to unexpected discoveries about the role of nutrition — yes, even sauerkraut — Laura’s story is as honest as it is inspiring.

Tune in for an engaging, thought-provoking conversation that sets the tone for what Natterbox is all about.
