Did you know that part of your job as a recent graduate is to constantly explain what your degree actually does? 🎓

If you've ever faced that question, this episode is for you. Join Dr. Moira and Jacqueline Owden as they break down how to successfully apply a psychology degree across various industries, the game-changing power of mentorship, and exactly what employers look for in mental health candidates.

Plus, we dive deep into a critical conversation: how intentional funding is the key to fixing systemic flaws in our mental health infrastructure. 🧠

What do you think is the most common reaction people have when they lose a job?

Losing a job or going through an unexpected career transition can come with a heavy emotional load. In this episode, we explore the emotional impact of career transitions and discuss practical, positive coping strategies to help you navigate this challenging period.

We also highlight the importance of employers abiding by labour laws and, equally, the need for employees to understand and know their rights.

But there’s more! 🤩

Want to learn what growth actually means, how to overcome the fear of starting over, why it’s important to look at both sides of the coin, and the steps you can take to move forward after being laid off or changing career paths?

Then this is an episode you’ll want to tune into! 🎙️

Buckle up, listen in, and kindly share it with someone who might need to hear this conversation. ❤️

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to send us a DM on our socials.

What if healing isn’t only found in words… but also in movement? 💭✨

A growing body of evidence shows that movement-based approaches can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression while enhancing quality of life, interpersonal connection, and cognitive functioning.

Building on our previous episode, we expand the conversation beyond stillness and dialogue to explore the therapeutic power of movement recognizing that the body often carries experiences that words alone cannot fully express.

Join Jacqueline Owden alongside Carolin Zeitler, a dance movement therapist, as they unpack what dance movement therapy (DMT) truly entails, how it differs from conventional dance or exercise, and the underlying science that makes it an effective tool for mental health and emotional processing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your thoughts, this conversation offers a grounded reminder that healing can also happen through the body 💃🏽🧠

Many of us grew up in environments where money was a taboo topic never discussed openly, often shrouded in shame. But avoiding these conversations can leave lasting wounds and fuel a scarcity mindset.

In this powerful episode, we explore what it takes to shift from scarcity to abundance, starting with healing the emotional and cultural baggage we carry around money. Joined by Ms. Jackline Ndombele, who shares her personal journey, we unpack the realities of "black tax," how to set healthy financial boundaries, and why guilt-free self-care is essential.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt ashamed talking about money and is ready to take a more mindful, intentional approach to their finances and their healing.
