The lads sit down with Beth from Iawn Met. Beth has been through an extremely tough time. Her father sadly took his own life, it obviously changed her life forever but she's now set up 'Iawn Met'. Iawn Met contributes to the building of an honest, supported, and harm-reductive community environment, that empowers and amplifies the voices within them through education via Instagram and donations through apparel purchases (this is stolen from her website).

The social media page not only amplifies voices but it also sells apparel. What is amazing is that the profits that are made from these sales are donated to charities that are close to her heart - and we at Tackle Your Thoughts are lucky enough to be one of those!

What is evident from this podcast is the courage and strength that Beth has. From going through a life changing event to now wanting to help change peoples lives. She's a true inspiration and a real life Superhero.

The lads sit down with a local counsellor and discuss all issues around the counselling process. They discuss what a typical counselling session looks like, what the common conditions are and even touch on coping strategies.

What is evident from this podcast is that we do not utilise the services of a counsellor enough. Whether you're struggling with anxiety or depression or just want to 'level up', there are professional counsellors like Louise out there that are there to help. We go to see a GP when something is wrong physically, why can't we go and see a counsellor when the same is true for our mental state.

Louise and her business partner Julie are now running group therapy for Tackle Your Thoughts, we cannot recommend them enough - so if you are struggling or just in need of someone to talk to then please hit them up on their socials below.

One thing Louise wanted to stress is: Counselling is currently non-regulated, so if you need the services of a counsellor then please ensure they are either registered with either The National Counselling Society (www.nationalcounsellingsociety.org) or the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk).

Sit back and enjoy, this episode is super powerful!!

The boys sit down with 2 of the 4 owners of PA Fitness. For those that are not from South Wales, PA Fitness is one of the largest and best run gyms in our area. 

The owners discuss the trials and tribulations they experienced while setting the business up - from owing over £18k for electric to turning it around and now running the gym with over 700 members. They discuss the highs and lows of owning a gym through COVID and go in deep about some of the troubles and demons they've struggled with personally over the years. 

One thing that comes from this episode is if you want something enough, have the work ethic to work towards it and the support network around you then there's no reason why you can't achieve anything you put your mind to. 

If you're not following the gym then you should be!
