In this episode of Beyond Four Walls, Jodie Fraser is joined by mental wellbeing specialist Anji McGrandles, founder of The Mind Tribe, for an honest and practical conversation about what mental wellbeing really looks like in everyday life.

Drawing on her experience working with global clients, Anji cuts through the noise around mental health and shares simple, realistic tools that actually fit into busy lives. From understanding burnout and improving sleep, to small mindset shifts and accessible mindfulness practices, this episode is full of insights you can take away and use straight away.

Together, Jodie and Anji explore why mental wellbeing isn’t a “nice to have”, the challenges people face when trying to prioritise it, and how workplaces can do better when it comes to supporting their people.

In this episode, we cover:

• Anji’s journey into mental wellbeing and the story behind The Mind Tribe
• Common myths and misunderstandings around mental health
• Practical tools and simple techniques to support your mental wellbeing
• What mindfulness actually is (and what it isn’t)
• Recognising the signs of burnout and how to respond early
• The link between sleep and mental health
• Creating healthier workplace cultures
• The importance of community, connection and self-care
• Trends Anji is seeing in the wellbeing space right now
