This is the final podcast of this season and indeed this "run" of Retrain Your Brain.  We're undergoing some changes, so please enjoy previous episodes in the interim.

...rather App-tly (see what I did) this episode looks at the value of wellbeing apps and how digital wellbeing can contribute to improving mental health.

Financial Toxicity is when the cost of our treatment results in making us sicker.
This podcast explains the many ways "Financial Toxicity" manifests.  It also looks at what is being done to tackle it, and outlines the many resources we might be able to use to help.

Martin Seligman stated that "the skills of flourishing...go beyond those of minimising sadness" - we need to put different work in to thrive, compared with working to "feel better".  This podcast gives you some ideas of simple ways you can make a start.

We KNOW what we have to do - but somehow we fall off the waggon and stay off...and yet we seem to be so driven to do all the other things that, in perspective, matter less to us.  Could it be we just don't care enough?
This podcast looks at some simple exercises we can do to improve our self care.

What is quiet quitting?  Why does it happen and what can we do about it - especially if we are feeling the urge to do so ourselves.

While I've spoken about managing grief in the past, this podcast gives you ways of dealing with it in the return to work:
- what conversations may you need to have
- remembering it's ok to talk...or not to
- the importance of practical support.

This podcast reflects on how sometimes we do need to break free from old ties in order to move forwards - as emotionally difficult as that may be.  I also give a few practical ways to start the healing process.

I've often said that being a "high achiever" isn't a compliment, because it often means you seek certificate after certificate - almost to find a sense of relief of attaining something, but no real fundamental joy, nor sometimes appreciation of nor learning from the process.  I reflect on my process from not being a great swimmer to...NOT doing the Dart 10k in 2022

As adults we don't often get the same sort of praise and certification that we used to get as children, in a structured, schoolroom setting.  Instead WE need to work out for ourselves what matters -and these changes, these developments, these learnings often need to be done explicitly - we don't just suddenly "Mature into realising it!" This podcast helps you identify and celebrate your achievements - in the world you live in now!
