    How to feel more comfortable in your own skin (Episode 302)

    Do you feel good about yourself? Do you feel comfortable in your own skin? You should! But that can be tough… so it’s time to learn how to build self-esteem so you can choose yourself with apology. Self-trust and confidence are essential for better mental health, helping you to stop second-guessing yourself and discover how to be comfortable in your own skin. Feeling at home in yourself really shouldn’t be something rare, but for many of us it takes a lot of work and can feel really challenging. In this episode I call out the real problem: second-guessing yourself, avoidance, and performing for others until you’re completely exhausted. I’ll show you simple steps to improve self-esteem, respect yourself more, and improve your self-worth so you can build self-confidence naturally and reduce stress. Expect plain, straightforward, and practical advice to reduce anxiety, stop avoiding issues, and be on your own side, with tools you can use today. If you want a calmer mindset every day and to feel better about yourself, this is for you. We’ll explore how to be more confident by learning how to back yourself and how to love yourself in real life, not just in theory… so you can really be at home in yourself and love yourself more, consistently. 👉 Ready to discover how to be more comfortable in yourself each day? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: If second-guessing yourself and feeling like you have to perform for others is draining you, this episode gives you a clear way to feel at home in yourself so your confidence improves naturally. 🙂 ________________________________ ⏱️ Chapters/Timestamps: 0:00 Confidence and mental health 0:33 Love yourself more 3:00 What does being comfortable in your own skin mean 7:42 Why confidence matters for better mental health 12:33 How to be more comfortable in yourself 27:04 Final tips for better mental health 📝 Transcript & show notes: https://ltamh.com/?p=18321  ➕ Related episodes: Body image (Episode 136) https://ltamh.com/?p=6685  Get out of your own way!

    Want to avoid a breakdown? You need to do this. (Episode 300)

    You shouldn’t need to have a breakdown to learn how not to break down. If you’re dealing with difficult times and barely holding it together, this episode is for you. If it’s ever felt like you may have a nervous breakdown (or if you’ve already had one), or if you’ve found yourself heading towards an emotional breakdown, then you’ll know the impact that struggling mentally and emotionally can have on your quality of life. So, let’s turn things around! In this week’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m talking about the importance of protecting your peace and the role it plays in avoiding a breakdown by helping you start spotting the early warning signs. You’ll learn what’s involved in setting boundaries without guilt, and how to start using simple coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and burnout. I’ll show you how to strip life back to what matters, take small daily actions (one day at a time), and choose a steadier pace that actually supports your mental health. 👉 Ready to reduce stress and feel more in control? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: Learn to spot the signs early, set better boundaries, and take small steps that prevent burnout… because prevention is a lot better than recovery. 🙂 ________________________________ ⏱️ Chapters/Timestamps: 0:00 Mental breakdown and mental health 0:46 How to avoid breakdown 3:06 Mental health lessons 27:04 Final mental health tips 📝 Transcript & show notes: https://ltamh.com/?p=18109    ➕ Related episodes: Being more present (Episode 287) https://ltamh.com/?p=17181 Peace of mind (Episode 293) https://ltamh.com/?p=17668  Focusing on what you can control (Episode 291) https://ltamh.com/?p=17492 New here?  Hi! 👋 I’m Jeremy Godwin, counsellor and host of the weekly Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast.

    How your mindset shapes your reality (Episode 299)

    Your thoughts can either be your prison or your freedom; it’s all a matter of the mindset you choose. Your mindset shapes the reality you live in... but what if most of what you believe about yourself and your life is just a story you’ve been telling on repeat? When you default to negative thoughts, or when your mindset is harsh, or panicked, everything feels a lot harder. But when the story you tell yourself is steadier and kinder, and you adopt a more positive mindset, that’s when you start to take back control: your stress levels drop, your choices improve, and you can finally feel like you’re moving forward. In this week’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m sharing how to change the way you experience life by shifting your mindset. You’ll learn practical ways to reset unhelpful patterns, choose calmer perspectives, and create a healthier outlook you can actually live with. Because when you change your mindset, you change everything. 👉 Ready to change your life by changing your mindset? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: If your thoughts are running the show, it’s time to take back control… because when you change your mindset, you change your life. 🙂 ________________________________ ⏱️ Chapters/Timestamps: 0:00 Mindset and mental health 0:40 Mindset is everything 2:42 What is mindset? 8:19 Why your mindset matters 15:32 How to change your mindset 27:06 Final mental health tips 📝 Transcript & show notes: https://ltamh.com/?p=18039   ➕ Related episodes: Realistic positive thinking (Episode 292)  https://ltamh.com/?p=17609   Focusing on what you can control (Episode 291) https://ltamh.com/?p=17492 How to make peace with the past (Episode 296) https://ltamh.com/?p=17880 New here?  Hi! 👋 I’m Jeremy Godwin, counsellor and host of the weekly Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast.

    Feeling desperate? Your next move matters (Episode 298)

    Feeling like everything’s spiralling out of control, and you’re about to lose it? Desperation makes everything feel like an emergency… even when it’s not. That desperate energy sets your thoughts racing, your heart pounding, and suddenly you find you’re reacting instead of responding. But here’s the truth: feeling desperate doesn’t mean you’re broken or weak. It just means your nervous system is overloaded, and your brain is screaming for relief. So let’s explore what’s involved in overcoming desperation.  In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’ll break down what desperation really is, why it hijacks your thinking, and — most importantly — how to interrupt the spiral before it takes over. You’ll learn practical strategies to ground yourself, manage the panic, and respond with clarity instead of chaos. If you’ve ever thought “I can’t take this anymore,” this one’s for you. Because you don’t need to escape that feeling; you just need to stop letting it control your next move. 👉 Ready to feel less desperate and more calm? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: When you feel desperate, it can seem like chaos is your only option; in this episode I’ll show you how to take back control before desperation sucks you under. 🙂 ________________________________ ⏱️ Chapters/Timestamps: 0:00 Desperation and mental health 0:35 Feeling desperate 3:44 What is desperation? 8:53 Why desperation affects you so deeply 15:28 How to go from desperate to grounded 27:00 Final mental health tips 📝 Transcript & show notes: https://ltamh.com/?p=18029  ➕ Related episodes: Hopelessness (Episode 297) https://ltamh.com/?p=17921 How to make peace with the past (Episode 296) https://ltamh.com/?p=17880 Focusing on what you can control (Episode 291) https://ltamh.com/?p=17492 New here?  Hi! 👋 I’m Jeremy Godwin, counsellor and host of the weekly Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast.

    Let go or stay trapped (Episode 296)

    Still stuck in a past that hurts? This episode shows you how to let go… even if you’re not ready, and even if it still stings. We’ll explore why letting go is so hard — grief, identity, and the lure of ‘closure’ — and then we’ll get practical. You’ll learn to name what you’re holding, feel what you’ve avoided, interrupt the ‘if only’ loop, stop trying to ‘win’ the past, set small boundaries, and more. We’ll focus on choosing peace over rumination, putting your energy where you have control, and taking small and doable steps forward. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect apology, or a tidy ending, then this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast offers you another way; one that protects your peace, and helps you carry your story differently. 👉 Ready to let go, even when it’s tough? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: Still holding on to something?
