Mental Health Matters

Bassanti Pathak specialises in the neuroscience of what happens when we move our bodies to express emotion somatically.  For so many, “intellectualisation” is easy and this can explain why talking therapy doesn’t move us as quickly as we would like.  This show is a must-watch to understand the power of movement, especially through yoga and breathing.

Today’s show was designed in response to a listener request for what to do when you are managing remote and hybrid teams.  Dr Hayley Lewis of Halo Psychology was the perfect guest to respond.  The problem with many remote/hybrid teams is that they have often organically morphed rather than being set up with strategy and structure, and managers can feel “on the back foot” with building culture and teams feelings supported.  Dr Hayley address these questions and more.

There’s always discussion and always debate on social media – but perhaps we need to accept that we WILL use it, it HAS a place, however if what we are then consuming is affecting us, there are some aspects of it which we might need to cut down on.  Nina Hobson of Barefoot Coaching joins us to address the nuances of the topic.

One area of workplace wellbeing that is not spoken about enough is those running micro-businesses or starting out as freelancer and entrepreneurs.  When you have an organisational structure with policies and interventions, wellbeing is (theoretically) easier to maintain, but what about that person who IS the business…who can’t say no because they are just starting out…who can’t afford a team and are juggling all plates themselves?  This is a really insightful conversation with Stress Consultant (and entrepreneur) Felicia Jones with actionable tools for wellness.

While originally planned as a show exploring the social media concept of the “trad wife” – the conversation with fabulous Stress Consultant Felicia Jones (a Mental Health Matters regular) moved to looking at the many (and often unhelpful) messages that women receive consciously or unconsciously about who they “should be” and how they “should behave”…and importantly, how to say “NO MORE” – and celebrate one’s own authenticity!

The Radiant Living Institute, founded by Dr Sheetal Ajmani is a space for women to rediscover themselves.  Dr Sheetal’s own experience of burnout as a clinician giving her all to her patients and organisation has taught her that it is possible to maintain performance excellence in balance with self-care and investment in our own energies.  This is an uplifting conversation with practical ideas and tools that can be put into practice right away.
