Making a Difference – A Frank Conversation
Sometimes we feel like we are too small to make a difference – or perhaps the world is too big for our contribution to count. My guest today is Frank Adlington-Stringer and he is here to tell you that this notion could not be further from the truth!
Frank is our Green Councillor in the North (North East Derbyshire to be precise) and though he is only in his mid-twenties he is already making quite an impact. He is actually standing to be the first ever Mayor of the entire East Midlands – but as he so humbly admits, he doesn’t have any superpowers.
Frank came from a suburban family home in Derbyshire, went to High School and then travelled. Eventually he decided to study politics at Nottingham Trent University. From here he worked every day trying to make small differences to not only the area where he lived, but also to his own life.
Struggles with mental health meant Frank was fighting for his future. After some very honest conversations with family he sought support from a therapist and attributes his survival to her and his family. He knows that wellbeing is the true measure of success and regularly makes time to be out in nature, practices yoga and loves cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
Connection and community are the priority for Frank, and he believes this is where we can all start to make little differences to our own lives and that of our community. The benefits of looking after our own emotional and mental wellbeing, as well as being part of something bigger like a community project are well researched as being entirely positive.
So, if you are feeling a bit isolated, disconnected or just like your desire to make a difference has waned, then this is the episode for you. Frank believes in a fairer, safer, kinder, greener and more just future for us all – and yes some say he is a dreamer, but having spent time in his presence I can tell you he’s the most incredible dreamer and more than that – he’s one with a plan to create the reality!
Join us and make a difference to your wellbeing – feel good factor guaranteed (and a story about a Shepherd’s pie and a plastic fork! )
With Love and Empowerment
