Welcome our the special summer holiday episode of The Well-Beginners.

We're Sally & Jools, and in this episode we'll be asking the question - when have you been heard?

A couple of episodes ago we featured Kath Qualtrough, a Samaritan, coach and counsellor, and we talked about the importance of listening. It's a learnt skill... even though we have ears we don't always allow people to be heard! 

Our guests are our friends, family and podcast listeners, and they'll be sharing their experiences of being heard... and perhaps it will inspire you to ask yourself the same question, and maybe even listen back to Kath's episode - it really is an ear opener : D

Welcome to the seventh episode of The Well-Beginners.

We're Sally & Jools, and in this episode we'll be meeting Stress & Wellbeing Consultant Carole Spiers.

Stress - it's literally a killer (now there's a scary thought!!) Would you know what the signs and symptoms are, and if you did would you know what to do about it? Well have no fear, we'll be asking Carole to give us to top tips on tackling stress - and she should know, she's written two books about it! Her current one -"Show Stress Who's Boss" is out NOW!

So are you Switched On about stress? Or, more importantly, are you ready to switch off to help tackle it?

Welcome to the sixth episode of The Well-Beginners.

We're Sally & Jools, and in this episode we'll be meeting Wellbeing Coach and Samaritan, Kath Qualtrough.

This is our regular monthly podcast, but we've decided to link it with Wellbeing Week - 24th - 30th June, and give the interview a 'Listening' theme. 

How many of us say we're listening to our partner or friend, but instead we're thinking of solutions or similar experiences we want to share? We've definitely learnt a lot from talking to Kath, and fessed up to the fact that we're not always the best listeners! 

If you're wondering what the strange sounds are in the background, it's Bella, Kath's boxer dog!! She's a lot schlurpier than we thought she was when we recorded the show! Oh, and before we forget, The Rock makes a surprise appearance!

Welcome to the fifth episode of The Well-Beginners.

We're Sally & Jools, and in this episode we'll be meeting Personal Trainer, Stephanie Seckington to talk about the challenges of eating well and staying active.

We all know we need to eat well... but what does that actually mean? Let's face it, if we were all getting it right then there wouldn't be an obesity crisis. So, how do we approach a new healthy eating lifestyle in a mindful way?

For Mental Health Awareness Week we thought we'd do a SPECIAL episode.

We've asked friends, family and listeners to the podcast to contribute. We've asked them this question:

"If you could chose one CLANGER to concentrate on this week, which one would it be and why."

So, what would you chose and why? If you fancy, drop us a line at www.thewell-beginners.com or find us on Facebook and post / share there.

Here's to your mental health,

Welcome to the third episode of The Well-Beginners.

We're Sally & Jools, and in this episode we'll be meeting Executive Coach, Sarah Green to talk about the challenges of work, and how coaching can help. 

We spend 30% of our lives working, and for many of us it isn't contributing to our wellbeing. Oh, and if you're already screaming at us, "Yay, but you have to be the CEO to have a coach", well you don't! Sarah explains how you don't have wealthy or high powered to 'hire' in help, and she tells us why we all need an impartial sounding board now and again.

Welcome to the second episode of The Well-Beginners.

We're Sally & Jools, and in this episode we'll be meeting Guerrilla Geographer, Dan Raven-Ellison to talk about toilets, oh and wellbeing in urban spaces! We met him whilst gallivanting to a conference called 5WaysPlace, where delegates discussed the '5 Ways to Wellbeing' and how social action, city planning and a citywide bookclub can impact on our happiness.
