We Are What We Overcome We Are What We Overcome

We've been on the move, right back to Edinburgh where it all began... This time we've had a couple of days at the Festival Fringe and while there we met up with the Edinburgh Blue Balls to join them on their weekly dip in the sea at Portobello beach! Blue Balls is a group for men to find community and the (potentially rather cold) swim is an opportunity to support each other and improve our mental and physical health. We like to swim, but do we like to swim off the Scottish coast...?

Everyone needs to talk more about mental health and we’re no exception, especially in these weird times. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counselling.

This time we're talking about brain fog - a curious phenomenon that affects lots of different people in different ways and for a variety of reasons. Sometimes we're overloaded, sometimes we just can't think straight. Let's talk about why, and how we dispel the fog.

It's been a busy year so far and it's kept the three of us apart more than usual. The only solution is spending some more time finding out how we're doing at the moment. Lots of dealing with various stresses, working hard on sleeping, and managing the sheer wealth of stuff - good and bad - that life throws at us.

Sometimes we just need to talk for a while about how we feel and what’s going on with us. This is one of those times. With Wez away on magical duties, Matt and Nick began talking about friendship, but ended up having a much longer mental health check-in than usual.

The boys get together to talk about physical health, fitness and its effect on mental health. We’re all at different levels of fitness and interest in exercise, though we seem to have sprouted some unexpected new year’s resolutions (not that we’d admit to them, of course).

We were slightly delayed in recording this episode because of a health problem, so it seemed fitting that we talk about it. Much of our discussion is about Matt’s recent heart attack, how it made him feel, and the impacts of health  – good and bad – on us and those around us.
