This episode refreshing conversation where Ben talks me through the key factors to achieving that positive mindset and looking after your mental health.

Making so many valuable points, Ben really had me thinking a lot about the way I chose to go about my days. 

Motivational and full of transferrable inspiration, Ben really hit the nail on the head with many topics and provided insightful and informative information that has really benefitted me and I'm confident that anyone listening will find the episode to be equally as valuable.

On this episode, I am joined by Tom Morgan - the host of the fantastic Unlocking Your Mind Podcast'.

Tom talks to me about a very tough time in his life that left him feeling a bit lost, causing him to develop anxiety and lose the drive and motivation he once had.

by speaking about how tom stays positive and continues to grow physically and mentally by pushing himself and being mindful, this episode is a motivating and inspiring listen that I hope you enjoy as much as I did having it.

Anybody looking to get more active, grab some motivation or just make some positive changes in their life - listen to the changes that Matthew discusses in himself and numerous clients just from increasing their activity levels and participating in regular exercise. 

On this week's podcast, I am joined by Kaylee Garber, who as well as being a singer, actor, model and a starting new venture in psychedelic wellness, runs one of my favourite Instagram accounts in which she speaks openly about her dealings with anxiety, depression and a recent ADHD diagnosis.

During this episode, I speak to Kaylee about her mental health history and how she has gotten to where she is today. We also spoke about social media and how to use it as a positive tool in life and to step away from the negativity that can come accompanied by it.

This is a great episode for anyone looking to make their social media a more positive and motivating place, I would recommend checking out Kaylee's page at @kaylee.garber on Instagram!

The Normalisation of drug use within the last 30 years has seen it become socially accommodated within the transition into adulthood, especially here in Scotland. This change has seen Scotland now hold the lucrative title of 'drug death capital of the world'.

There is such a fine line between recreational drug use and problematic drug use, that it's difficult for anyone to understand when that line is being crossed and the implications that come with it. When this happens at such a young age, minds have not developed well enough to deal with the issues that problematic drug use brings.

From financial issues, relationship breakdowns, and the resulting mental health problems that so regularly come from this - spotting this early enough in yourself or a friend could potentially be saving a life.  

Being in that situation is petrifying and I, unfortunately, know far too well about the mental health implications that can come crashing down on you when you get into this situation, and how hard it is to deal with as a teenager. Nobody wants to talk about this at any age, but if this helps even one person then it's worth me being open about it, as I am really glad I am so far past that now. 

This is my first 10-Minute Topic, where I will be discussing problematic drug use, how to spot it when it's getting dangerous and how to help yourself or a friend when you start to see there's an issue.

On this week's podcast, I am joined By Grace Grossman, who as well as being a well-being coach, podcast host, English teacher, and yoga teacher- is also the author of the book ''chill out and cheer up''.

Grace's New Book Focuses on our Modern Society and how its pressures effect us mentally - providing a ten-step guide for overcoming the negativity that comes with it.

We had a chat about her books, followed by a conversation on how society puts negative pressure on us - covering social media pressure and how it fuels greed and anxiety.

Worth a listen if you are looking to make some positive changes!

In this episode, I am joined by my first guest Jonathan Clark.

Jonathan is the owner of 'Form and Function' fitness, a personal trainer, and a Be Defiant athlete - all outside of his day job.

I spoke to Jonathan about his mental health history and his dealings with anxiety and depression, followed by some great conversations on how technology can be so impactful on our mental health.

What is living in this modern world doing to our Mental Health?

During this episode I cover some of my thoughts about Mental Health struggles in modern day society.

I also introduce the ambitions for the podcast and explain to you guys how I think we can really make a difference by having some important conversations.
