How can we tell when something’s not right in our lives before it reaches breaking point? In this episode, I sit down with Dr Nick Lewes to explore the signals we might be missing — and why it’s often so hard to see them in ourselves.

Nick shares insights from his work and research into mental health and wellbeing, and we talk about how awareness, small changes, and honest conversations can make a difference.

This is part one of our conversation. In next week’s episode, I’ll be reflecting on what we’ve discussed and sharing a small mercy inspired by our discussion.

What we cover in this episode:

• Subtle signs that we might not be okay

• Why we often ignore or downplay those signs

• How others can spot changes in us before we do

• The importance of listening — to ourselves and to each other
