    Don’t underestimate yourself

    It's easy to underestimate yourself. This subject was on my mind because I had been seeing it in my kids but also in myself. To underestimate your capability, or to consistently see your ability as less than it is, brings with it some consequences. You don't have to become someone who over-estimates yourself either, but learning to really own your ability can be helpful in a few different ways. These are the things I would want my kids to know about underestimating yourself. Also a little note to say thank you for listening or watching, I really appreciate it.

    Losing yourself and finding yourself again

    There are times in life when you might feel a little lost, or even feel like you have lost touch with who you are. That might happen because you have had to think of other people for so long that you don't quite know what you want or what works for you any more. It might even be a realisation that you have been living in line with what you think you "should" be doing and you don't actually know what it is that is important to you. Whatever it is, these are the things that I want my kids to know about what you can do when that happens. Thank you for listening.

    Starting somewhere new

    It's September and it's the time of year for new things. Going away to University, starting at a new school, maybe a new job or a new city. Whatever it is, starting somewhere new can be both exciting and challenging. These are the things I would want my kids to know about what you might expect, and some things that can help.

    When you feel worse in the Winter

    It is not uncommon for mood or mental health to feel worse over the Winter. Our first go-to explanation for that is biological: the lack of sunlight. However, while this is a very useful and important aspect to consider, there are other things that can make the Winter harder, too. This episode is all about those things, and what we can do about them. Thank you for listening. As always, here are all the links for the different places you can listen or watch, and how to access more if you want to. Apple Spotify Youtube This is a public episode.

    Public speaking

    This one is something I have worked on a lot myself, and still feel nervous about, but not to the degree that it particularly stops me doing what I want to do. So, these are my thoughts about what helps both in terms of helping you feel like you are doing a better job at it, but also feeling less anxious about the whole thing.I hope it's helpful.

    Grief and complex grief

    Grief is never straightforward, and there isn't only one path that it follows. So, the term "complex grief" might be a confusing one. However, there are times when we might find ourselves crushed by a loss, and times when a loss feels like something that is painful but something we can handle. In this episode my intention is to talk about what kinds of things make grief even more complex than it already is, and what we can do to help ourselves and others. I hope it’s helpful. As usual, you can listen or watch however best suits you via the links below. And, of course, there is a back catalogue waiting for you. Loads for free, and more available with a subscription upgrade. Apple Spotify Youtube This is a public episode.

    Being present

    "Being present" isn't always easy. I am often doing my best to be fully engaged but really finding that my mind is partly off elsewhere. Maybe thinking about work, jobs I've got to do, things like that. It might be harder when there's something big going on - a worry about health, finances or someone you love, for example.In this episode I talk about a few ways in which you might help yourself to be that little bit more present and importantly: some realistic expectations of how present it is really possible to be.
