    What We Wish We'd Known Earlier | Series 3. Ep.6

    What do you know now that you wish you'd understood years ago? In the final episode of Series 3 of This Too Is Healing, I'm joined by Educational Psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and Menopause Coach Emma Archard. I ask them both what they'd tell their younger selves if they could go back knowing everything they know now. Emma talks about self-belief, imposter syndrome, trusting her gut and learning to put boundaries in place. Adam reflects on perfectionism, competition and comparing himself with other people. And of course, the conversation got me thinking about what I'd tell younger Nettee too. A reflective final conversation about self-belief, boundaries, perfectionism and everything we learn through actually living our lives. Thank you for joining me for Series 3 of This Too Is Healing.

    How Do You Actually Build Resilience? | Series 3. Ep.5

    "Just be more resilient." We've probably all heard some version of it. But what does that actually mean? In Episode 5 of This Too Is Healing, I'm joined by Educational Psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and Menopause Coach Emma Archard to explore what resilience really is and, more importantly, how we build it. We talk about why resilience isn't simply about being tough or pushing through difficult experiences. Adam explains the connection between resilience, security and identity, and why relationships, acceptance, experience and support can all affect our ability to cope when life gets difficult. We also explore resilience in young people, education and the workplace, and why supporting someone through a difficult experience may actually help them become more resilient than simply telling them to "get on with it". A really interesting conversation that certainly made me rethink what being resilient actually means.

    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.
