The Lock Down Legacy

Another very open and honest podcast from Jamie. Here he talks about that all through the Lock Downs he was working and in one job he truly was not right for. He left that job and his mental health began to suffer and he went down that black hole to depression. His new job pulled him out of that hole and he now loves what he is doing; working on Covid testing sites all around the country. He love the job and the people who he is now working with. They are from all walks of life from teachers to physical education instructor. He now feels much better physical too and this in turn has improved his mental health dramatically.

Another great, real people, real lives, real stories podcast. This time Daniel's Story. As well as having his own physical and mental health challenges, he is also a carer for many many of his own family. He is, one of the country's unsung heroes; a full time carer. His lock down was a mixed bag of emotions; going from been uber busy to almost having nothing to do. In his own mind he felt as though he was the bottom of the pile, but now lockdown has brought him a positive outlook about himself. He felt needed. His hint is, take time to connect, not only with other, but mainly yourself. As a carer, take the opportunities where you can. His big hint, take time to yourself.
