    Ep 87: Re-balancing the mental load

    The mental load refers to the cognitive and emotional load of 'holding everything together' in our day to day lives - constantly thinking ahead, managing, planning, balancing needs. This concept names a reality of our lives. But, then what? If you want to move forward with re-balancing the mental load in your life, particularly if you're in a relationship, or you're a parent, then this episode is for you. I explore: - What the mental load actually demands of your brain - How the mental load might relate to your own 'issues' - Systems - How to get motivated to do things differently Also, there is a free resource you can use to work through re-balancing the mental load. It's available at www.charlottecummings.nz

    Ep 85: How to apologise

    In some of my work with clients recently, I've recognise that the art and science of apology has been an area where many people are falling over. You're a human. You're going to make mistakes. Things are going to land for people in a way that creates an impact you never intended at times. You'll offend, hurt, and get people offside. So, how do we best put things right? In this episode I step you through the five Languages of Apology (Dr Gary Chapman's model - the creator of the Five Love Languages). And, I offer some of my general observations about what makes an apology go well. This will have particular benefit for partner relationships, though there is also lots of content here that will be applicable to other settings too - with kids, friendships and co-workers. Enjoy!

    Ep 81: How to help your child transition back to school

    It's that time of year when the back to school nerves hit for our children. They're real. They deserve response. And there are lots of ideas in this episode to equip you to set your child up for a smoother transition back to school. It is one of my pet peeves that we just tell children "You've got this" and "It will all be OK" when they are actually really worried. In this episode I talk about how to get to the bottom of what your child is actually afraid will happen, beyond the presenting issues. There's a whole lot of ideas, so I know there will be some inspiration for everyone :)

    Ep 79: The Self Care episode

    The chances are you have a goal to take better care of yourself this year. So, how could you do things differently so you succeed with this goal? I reckon you need some fresh ideas, a broader concept of what self care is, some better ways to identify what you need, and to get rid of the mental barriers that stand in your way. I LOVE this topic, and I can't wait to share with you and support you to do great self care!

    Ep 78: The New Year pep talk you need

    New Year, New You... Well, what about New Year, Same Awesome Totally Already Enough You? In this episode I share a pep talk on how to strike the balance when setting your goals for the New Year. Sure, it's an opportunity to enjoy the fresh energy of the calendar turning over, but also it's important that your desire to change comes from a place of LOVING yourself towards change, and using this time to align yourself with the things that actually matter to you (not just the world around you!)... I also share a little life update, and some podcast plans for 2025. It's great to be back!

    Ep 77: Planning for your mental health needs these holidays

    Christmas is coming, and likely some change of pace/routine...   You've planned: where you're going, what you're doing, the Christmas menu, the childcare plans, who is unwrapping what. But, have you planned around your mental health needs?    This is a time of year when many people feel quite shattered, and the holiday season can (in my experience!) tip you over the edge without some intentional focus on your mental health. Well spent holidays can hit the spot, so let me give you a few thoughts in this episode on how to plan for your mental health needs these holidays.
