    Episode 13: Mental Health and Gaming

    On this episode we delved into a slightly different topic and my two guests introduced me to the world of gaming. We explored how computer and console games have become a prominent form of escapism and a way to relax and switch off that is probably more immersive than watching TV. Jay and Adam told me a bit about their personal experiences with mental health issues, the role that their hobby has played in that and how developers are starting to positively represent mental health in games.

    Episode 12: Mental Health and Fitness

    This week on Crazy Talk, I talked mental health and fitness with my pal Steff - personal trainer and bikini competitor. We talked about Steff's own journey through the ups and downs of being a professional bodybuilder, as well as her approach to personal training and how social media and bodyshaming/beauty standards condition us to think we need to aim for impossible bodies. Steff aims to help clients focus on feeling happy and healthy in a way that they can maintain long term.  Steff's Instagram - pt_steffm Follow Crazy Talk: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/crazytalkpod Website - http://somethingforyourmind.org/ Instagram - @crazytalk_pod Twitter - @CrazyTalk_pod Tash's Instagram - @tashb_94 If you have any questions, comments or ideas for what you'd like to see in future episodes, I'd love to hear from you!
