Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 26 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 
P-Soupers - it's a special one this week - over the Summer, me and producer Emma experimented with a couple of live recordings, and our first courageous participant was Dr Sarah Swan - a verified rock chick who has written an extraordinary book called, "Coping with Breast Cancer, how to navigate the emotional impact throughout your journey". It's based upon Sarah's lived experience and her expertise as a clinical psychologist, particularly in the application of ACT.
So in this episode you'll hear how Sarah first got into psychology, the trials of getting onto the clinical training to the point when she was about to give up, how she discovered ACT and then the life-changing, devastating experience, when Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer. You'll hear my review of the book, Sarah talking about the writing process and how she kept going when she could barely see the screen through the tears. This truly is an extraordinary conversation, you'll also hear Sarah read an extract from the book and we finish off with her takeaways for those in workplace settings - as well as her song choice.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 25 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 
P-Soupers - this is it - the last part of my chat with Dr Sarah Cassidy - educational, child and adolescent psychologist. And now that we've set the scene - we dive into her book, co-written with Dr Lisa Coyne - called - Tired of Anxiety - A kids guide to befriending difficult thoughts and feelings and living your life anyway.
So in this episode you'll hear about how the book came about, the collaboration with Dr Lisa Coyne, the other books in the series and how Sarah helps kids to reflect on their choices, notice the difficult stuff and move forward - building skills for their whole lives. You'll also hear about the art for the book, my review and how toxic positivity can occur in organisations and family units. We finish with a highly useful takeaway from Sarah too.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 23 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 
P-Soupers - it's my honour to introduce you to Dr Sarah Cassidy. What an absolute joy to speak to this pioneering, exceptional human. I was so captured by this conversation that I've decided to break it down into three parts. Sarah Cassidy, Ph.D., has been working as an educational, child and adolescent psychologist in private practice in Ireland for the last 20 years. In part one - we get to know Sarah - her geographical history, her extraordinary parents, a bit about her career path and including what it was like to co-own a bar in Chicago. We also start to explore her approach to the psychological well-being of children.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 22 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 
P-Soupers - in our previous episode I introduced you toDr Heather McKee. Heather is a health behaviour change specialist. She helps companies create evidence-based health and wellness programmes that bring about long term change for their customers or employees. She also helps individuals to create health habits that last through her Bite-Sized Habits course.
In this episode, we hear all about Heather's work on creating the permission for carers to extend compassion towards themselves, creating lifelong habits, how you can learn to nourish yourself, looking after ourselves at work and unravelling our unhealthy habits. It's packed with takeaways and Heather also reveals the secret sauce we can all use to support ourselves.
