    Daily Habits to Calm a Busy Mind | Series 3. Ep.4

    What everyday habits can help support a busy mind? In Episode 4 of This Too Is Healing, I'm joined by Educational Psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and Menopause Coach Emma Archard for a practical conversation about the things we can do in everyday life to support our mental and physical wellbeing. I share the bedtime ritual I use when my brain won't switch off, and together we talk about morning routines, walking, movement, exercise, hydration, nutrition, protein and menopause. This isn't about having the perfect routine or doing everything right. It's about understanding what helps you and finding small practices that fit into your real life. If you've got a busy brain, struggle to switch off or simply want to look after yourself a little better, there's plenty to take away from this conversation. Next week: What does resilience really mean?

    Why Relationships Change in Midlife | Series 3.Ep.3

    Relationships don't stay the same because we don't stay the same. In Episode 3 of This Too Is Healing, I'm joined by Educational Psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and Menopause Coach Emma Archard to talk about relationships, parenthood, menopause, changing identities and the importance of staying connected through different stages of life. We explore why couples can drift apart when life becomes busy, why simply "getting through it" isn't always enough, and the importance of creating shared experiences and rediscovering each other as we change. We also talk about vulnerability, fear of rejection, community, loneliness and how to start those difficult conversations when you don't quite know what to say. An honest conversation about relationships, connection and finding our way back to one another. Next week: The everyday habits that support our minds and bodies.

    How Stress & Trauma Change Your Brain | Series 3.Ep.2

    Stress affects far more than our emotions, it changes the way our brains work. In this episode of This Too Is Healing, Nettee is joined by educational psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and menopause coach Emma Archard to explore the science behind stress, trauma, brain fog and the nervous system. Together they discuss why our brains respond the way they do, how childhood experiences can shape adult wellbeing, and practical ways to better understand ourselves with compassion rather than judgement. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of how the brain adapts to stress, why healing takes time, and what we can do to support our mental wellbeing. Next week: Why relationships change and how we stay connected through life's biggest transitions.

    This Is Where You Start Part 1

    In my very first episode of This Too Is Healing, I share why I started this podcast and the journey that led me here. From growing up in the countryside as the youngest of five, to years of performing under constant pressure, I learned perfectionism and self-criticism early. Those beliefs shaped my adult life, leading to anxiety, burnout and a deep personal need to understand mental health. Writing became my way through, from childhood diaries to a completed book born from a month of daily mindset messages. Now I’m bringing those conversations to the podcast, exploring how healing looks different for everyone. If you’ve ever felt “not good enough” or unsure where to start, this podcast is for you. Together we’ll share stories, strategies and real-life ways to care for our minds. In this episode of This Too Is Healing, I sit down with Yazmin, who stepped in at the perfect moment to share her personal journey. Together we explore what it means to finally allow yourself to be seen and heard, even when it feels uncomfortable or frightening. We talk about anxiety, identity and the masks we wear to keep the world at a safe distance, how letting those masks drop can bring us closer to our true selves. This heartfelt conversation is about finding space to reconnect with who we are and the courage it takes to share that journey out loud. I speak with Kirsty who is a runner, paramedic and fitness influencer, about the deeper connections between movement, mindset and healing. Kirsty shares her story of discovering how fitness and community helped her through some of life’s most difficult moments, from the challenges of military family life to experiencing depression for the first time.  Together we all explore daily habits, the importance of saying “no” and therapeutic practices such as EMDR and shamanic journeying. This conversation is about more than physical fitness, it’s about finding your own path to feeling grounded, connected and whole.
