In this special extra episode, Susan delves into the world of Good Vibes Meditation - her successful and popular life coaching and cold water therapy business based within The Collective in Bo'ness.

You can follow Susan's adventures by searching for 'Good Vibes Meditation' on Facebook.

The world has gone bonkers crazy since the pandemic, and there has been a huge shift in the last five years. But how do we cope? Do we want to stop the bus and get off? What is normal? The girls discuss with guest Melinda Warren from the Bo'ness Spinal Centre.

May contain the occasional rant... :-)

The girls are joined by Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist Liz Cornwallis to discuss whether there is such a thing as a Mid Life crisis, or do we simply come into our own and become different people?

Do we become more relaxed and less concerned about people's thoughts and opinions of us?

Liz discusses how hypnotherapy can also help with growth and change, and a little bit more about what she does at her business - www.changeforgoodtherapies.com

In this episode, the girls talk with their guest Alan Hume about the importance that mental health plays in the overall fitness picture and how cold water therapy has helped put Alan in a more positive place with regards to training and competition.

Alan has been a competitive runner for the last 30 years, spending 25 years at Central Athletics. He's won medals and races in Scotland and England where he won county medals plus was the only Brit on the podium in an International race which took place in Iceland.

Over 30 years studying and working in sport and fitness in Scotland and England at Stirling Uni and University of East Anglia, Alan is now Stadium operations manager at Falkirk Stadium.

Ailsa is an accidental Education Consultant, specialising in developmental trauma and neurodiversity. She trained as a secondary school English teacher and worked in a school for 17 years, thinking she would continue there until retirement.

In 2013, she and her husband adopted a little boy, who was clearly differently wired. Ailsa took a career break to support him and eventually resigned, setting up Valiant Minds Education in response to a very steep learning curve in parenting her son.

Now, she develops and delivers training for educators as well as supporting young people in education settings. She loves the mix of working locally whilst developing and delivering training internationally. She wears many professional hats and teaches English 1:1, writes training, delivers professional learning to school staff, mentors neurodiverse young people, writes articles, gives media interviews, assesses grant funding applications for organisations that support care experienced young people and most recently, has become mature student studying her PGCert in Diagnosis and Management of FASD.

The girls are joined by Melinda Warren of the Bo'ness Spinal Health Centre to look at the juggle and struggle of life as a single parent who has a full time job. What are the challenges - and the benefits! And how can we support each other and remind people they are doing a brilliant job?

Welcome to the very first episode of our new Podcast. We begin by discussing something that is so prevalent in society today - Mental Health and Wellbeing.

We also discuss what needs to be done to remove the stigma around mental health and encourage others not to be afraid and to reach out.
