    Oliver Seligman S5 E3: The Journey to Befriending Bipolar

    Oliver Seligman S5 E3: The Journey to Befriending Bipolar

    Today's guest is the wonderful, Oliver Seligman!

    I'm so happy I had the opportunity to speak with Ollie and truly grateful for the conversation that we shared.

    You quickly learn that Ollie has a lovely energy and a great way of vocalising his stories and learnings from his life. Hearing Ollie's perspective on topics such as his diagnosis with Bipolar Disorder, happiness and meditation was eye-opening and thought-provoking in the best way. I believe Ollie and his story should be shared and I cannot recommend him enough when it comes to a voice in the mental health discussion. You can find more of Ollie through the links below:

    Sophie Eggleton S5 E2: All Things Music & Mental Health

    Sophie Eggleton S5 E2: All Things Music & Mental Health

    Today's guest on Guards of Eden is the fantastic & outright brilliant, Sophie Eggleton!

    Sophie's work began as an interviewer in the music industry where she'd pair up her love for music and curiosity, something which now takes form in her podcast that she co-hosts in PLAY PAUSE REPEAT.

    I love not only Sophie's energy and who she is as a person; she's also someone who I greatly appreciate hearing from with the conversation around mental health and well-being. In this conversation, I loved learning about not only her shining a light on artist's mental well-being, but also the journey she's gone on with her own mental health.

    Today's guest is a returning guest and someone I always love spending time with in The Body Coach, Joe Wicks!

    Since our first time talking on Guards of Eden, Joe's been very busy with many things, including his P.E with Joe initiative where he accrued over 100 millions views on YouTube from his morning workouts for families during the 2020 lockdowns in the UK. As well as P.E with Joe, Joe's been recording a documentary with the BBC called "Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood" where Joe speaks on his childhood and the mental health battles his parents had.

     We catch up about his BBC documentary, P.E with Joe and everything Joe related. I loved the conversation and I'm incredibly grateful for his time and energy.

    Today's guest is the amazing George Bell.

    George works for a fantastic company called Sanctus; an organisation that looks to help employees of companies by providing professionals to help them talk about their mental health.
