Welcome to the Make Time to Talk podcast with Ryan Beasley. In this episode, we have a wonderful discussion about our mental health journeys. We cover grief, CEO mistakes, the 90's, and our childhoods, growing up in a world before the technological wave. Throughout this episode, we will cover mental health subjects that can be difficult to open up about, but incredibly important to be aware of.

Do we realise how much our emotions impact our loved ones? When we go through our own mental health battles we can have an array of emotions but how does this affect those closest to us? Ryan talks about this journey and how it was a long process for him and his partner to figure out each other's boundaries. It's important to recognise the impact our emotions have on those closest to us, especially during our own mental health battles. It's natural to have a wide range of emotions, but it's crucial to understand how these emotions affect our loved ones. Ryan's journey is a reminder that figuring out boundaries with a loved one is a long process. It's not easy, but it's necessary for a healthy relationship. Communication, patience and understanding are key to establishing boundaries and making sure that they work for both parties. 

We examine the crucial role that honesty plays in effective leadership. As a CEO, your words and actions have a far-reaching impact, and being authentic and transparent is key to building trust and inspiring confidence in your team. We'll discuss the benefits of honesty, and the challenges of being an open leader, and provide practical tips for incorporating honesty into your leadership style. Whether you're an aspiring CEO or already leading a team, this episode will help you to be the best version of yourself and lead with integrity.

Being a CEO can be demanding and stressful, but what if you had a secret weapon to diffuse tension and bring a smile to the room? Ryan is a CEO who brings his daughter to meetings as a way to lighten the mood and bring a different perspective. See the impact that this unique approach has on his team, clients, and even himself. From dealing with tough negotiations to navigating challenging conversations, find out how this CEO's approach to tension-breaking can inspire you in your own leadership journey.

Ryan also bravely opens up about his struggles with losing his beautiful son Alfie at 37 weeks. As we all know, grief is multilayered, intense, and deeply personal. Ryan shares what that journey looked like for him and actually meant that he went into "Dad mode".

Are you someone who tends to focus on finding solutions to problems or someone who tends to focus on analysing and discussing the problem itself? It's important to understand whether you are a problem or solution-focused person because it can greatly affect how you approach and handle different situations in your life.

Listeners will hear about our personal experiences with grief, CEO mistakes, life in the 90s, being an introvert vs being an extrovert, mental well-being in the workplace, changing your mindset, and growing up in a world before the technological wave. Our discussion is intended to help individuals with their personal journeys and shed some light on things that aren’t normally discussed in “small talk situations”.

Welcome to the Make Time to Talk podcast with Thomas Fowler. In this episode, we have a wonderful discussion about our mental health journeys. We cover anxiety, mindset, complex PTSD, and sharing experiences growing up in secondary school as two young men.

Tom opens up about the first time he ever experiences anxiety and the moment he remembered having an attack of anxiety when he was studying French during secondary school. I'm sure for those that have experienced anxiety during their lives this story is really relatable. Anxiety can strike us at any time and often the randomness is what's the scariest. Tom is brave enough to talk about how this impacted him directly and how he just "sat with it". Anxiety is scary but also incredibly treatable. Did you know that over 8 million people in the UK suffer from some sort of anxiety condition every year? If you're worried about your anxiety levels then please speak to a loved one or please seek help from either the NHS or one of the many charities out there. Do not suffer alone.

Is there a STIGMA around PTSD? Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious condition that affects millions of people, yet it is still surrounded by stigma and misunderstanding. In this video, we will explore the impact that this stigma has on those living with PTSD and why it's so important to change the conversation. From busting common myths to highlighting the signs and symptoms of PTSD, we will provide practical information and resources to help raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with this condition. Whether you or a loved one is living with PTSD or simply want to support those who are, this episode is a must-watch.

The intersection of bodybuilding and eating disorders can be a challenging place to navigate, especially when it comes to establishing a healthy relationship with food. In this podcast episode, we will hear from Tom who has managed clients struggling with both bodybuilding and disordered eating and shares his personal journeys of rebuilding a positive relationship with food as a trainer. From overcoming restrictive diets to finding balance in their nutrition and fitness goals, these inspiring videos provide practical insights and strategies for anyone looking to improve their relationship with food and their body. Whether you are a bodybuilder, recovering from an eating disorder, or simply looking for inspiration, this episode is a must-watch.

"I just lost it"? Have you ever had an angry incident at a wedding? Tom explains how certain things can trigger certain emotions for his Complex PTSD. Tom bravely opens up about an incident at a wedding where a particular trigger from a song caused him to act in a way that he wouldn't usually. This is the element of Complex PTSD that we need to help people with. It can affect you in different ways, at different times and the emotions can resonate completely differently for different people e.g. some people may respond with anxiety, some people may respond with anger and some people may not react at all. It is a very personal journey that is 100% down to the individual experiencing it. 

Success in both fitness and mindset often requires setting priorities and making certain things non-negotiable. We'll explore the importance of having non-negotiables in all areas and how they can help you stay motivated and on track towards your goals. 

Listeners will hear about our personal experiences with anxiety, mindset, health and fitness, complex PTSD, secondary school, speaking with our wives, changing our mindset, and growing up in a world as young men with emotions and hormones running riot. Our discussion is intended to help individuals with their personal journeys and shed some light on things that aren’t normally discussed in “small talk situations”.

Welcome to the Make Time to Talk podcast with Serena Horton. In this episode, we have a wonderful discussion about our mental health journeys. We cover the NHS, Children's health, and difficult relationships. We also share experiences being parents and where we feel the NHS needs to get to in order to provide the most effective healthcare for people struggling with their mental health.

As a healthcare professional in the National Health Service (NHS), navigating a mental health crisis can be challenging and requires a unique set of skills and knowledge. We will hear from Serena who has helped patients during a mental health crisis and learn about the strategies she has used to provide effective care. The goal of this episode is to provide practical guidance and insights for healthcare professionals and to help increase awareness of the experiences of patients within the NHS. This episode is an important resource for anyone looking to improve their knowledge and skills in working with individuals experiencing a mental health crisis and to learn about best practices for providing support and care.

We explore the importance of children's mental health and the impact that early intervention can have on their overall well-being. With Serena, we learn about effective strategies for promoting open and honest conversations with children about their mental health. Through real-life examples and interactive discussions, we will discover how to encourage children to talk about their emotions, experiences and challenges, and to build resilience for the future. This episode is a must-watch for parents, educators, and anyone who works with children and is passionate about promoting mental health and well-being.

Mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, yet too often the NHS mental health system falls short in providing the personalised care that patients need. We explore the reasons behind this problem and the impact it has on those seeking mental health support. Serena shares her experiences and insights on the current state of the NHS mental health system. She highlights the need for more individualised care, including tailored treatment plans, one-on-one therapy sessions, and ongoing support. You will learn about the benefits of personalised care, including improved patient outcomes, better patient satisfaction, and reduced stigma. By providing personalised care, patients are more likely to engage in treatment and experience positive results. This is a call to action for those who are passionate about mental health and want to see a change in the NHS. By coming together and raising awareness, we can work towards a better future for those seeking mental health support.

Parenting can be challenging, especially when it comes to navigating the complex world of children's mental health. While it's important to be supportive and understanding, it can also be tempting to try to solve our children's problems for them and continue with the old technique of "Mom knows best". At Parenting Mental Health, they believe this isn't always the best or most effective method in empowering our children with their mental health journeys.

In this episode, we'll explore the power of "zip it" as a tool for supporting children's mental health and empowering them to take control of their own emotions and experiences. We'll cover topics such as:

1. The importance of giving children space to process their emotions and thoughts, without trying to solve their problems for them.

2. How to respond in a supportive and non-judgmental way, even when we don't have all the answers.

3. Techniques for using "zip it" to give children the space they need to work through their feelings, such as active listening, empathy, and validating their experiences.

4. The benefits of empowering children to take control of their own mental health, such as increased self-confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills.

5. Strategies for helping children cope with difficult emotions and thoughts, such as mindfulness, self-care, and seeking support from trusted adults.

By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of the power of "zip it" as a tool for supporting children's mental health, and the role you can play in empowering them to take control of their own emotions and experiences.

So, if you're ready to explore the power of "zip it" as a tool for parenting and mental health, join us for this informative and empowering video on Parenting Mental Health, Children, and the Power of "Zip it."
