    Hello You Mental Health Podcast - Dr Marline C. Duroseau

    Infertility affects roughly 1 in 6 people worldwide — yet most people go through it in silence, while still turning up to work as if nothing is happening. In this episode of Hello You, Dan Darwin speaks with Dr Marline C. Duroseau (Dr Mar) — CFO, Managing Director of HR and Leadership Development, TEDx speaker, author and fertility coach — about her 15-year infertility journey, IVF, pregnancy loss and what real support in the workplace actually looks like. Marline talks openly about the shame and stigma that surrounds infertility, the five IUIs that didn't work, financing IVF over seven years, and losing her daughter Angel Grace at 22 weeks. She shares how sepsis nearly cost her her own life, how therapy became a 15-year lifeline, and how her doctoral research into the lived infertility experience of women in leadership roles led her to the TEDx stage. This is a conversation about grief, mental health, resilience and leadership — and about what to say (and what not to say) when someone you love is going through baby loss. In this episode we cover: Why infertility is still stigmatised and why so many people suffer in silenceThe emotional and financial cost of IUI and IVF treatmentChoosing between a career trajectory and starting a familyPregnancy loss, grief and returning to work when you can't functionWhat managers and leaders get wrong about supporting employees through personal disruptionWhy "everything will be okay" is the wrong thing to say — and what to do insteadMarline's MCD framework: be Motivated, be Courageous, be Dynamic Dr Marline C. Duroseau is the author of It'll Happen by 30: A Relentless Journey of Faith, Delayed But Not Denied, and hosts an annual event for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month each October.

    Hello You Mental Health Podcast - Nan Saysana

    Nan Saysana: Breaking Free From Food Addiction, Binge Eating & Emotional Eating In this powerful episode of Hello You, Nan Saysana opens up about her 30-year journey with food addiction, binge eating and emotional eating and the mental patterns that kept her trapped in a cycle she struggled to break. Nan explores the connection between food, emotions and the subconscious mind, sharing how deeply ingrained habits and thought patterns can influence the way we eat, feel and view ourselves. She explains how techniques including hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming and visualization helped her change her relationship with food, rebuild self-trust and ultimately break free from binge eating. We talk honestly about weight loss, emotional eating, habits, self-sabotage, manifestation and mental health, while exploring why lasting change isn't always about having more discipline or following another diet. Now, Nan uses what she learned from her own experience to help others understand the psychology behind their relationship with food and create healthier, more sustainable patterns. If you've ever struggled with binge eating, food addiction, emotional eating, overeating, weight loss or feeling out of control around food, this episode offers a different perspective on where those behaviours may come from — and how changing the mind can help change the behaviour. In this episode, we explore: Nan's 30-year experience with food addiction and binge eatingThe connection between emotional eating and mental healthHow the subconscious mind influences habits and behavioursWhy diets and willpower don't always solve binge eatingHypnotherapy and subconscious reprogrammingVisualization and manifestationBuilding self-trust around foodBreaking destructive habits and thought patternsThe psychology behind weight loss and sustainable changeHow Nan now helps others overcome their relationship with food If food has ever felt like a battle, this conversation is for you. #HelloYou #BingeEating #FoodAddiction #EmotionalEating #Hypnotherapy #MentalHealth #WeightLoss #SubconsciousMind #SelfTrust #HealthyHabits Hosted on Acast.

    Hello You - Sophie Wilson Epsiode

    In this powerful episode of Hello You, we speak with Sophie Wilson, whose life was turned upside down when her close friend, Gareth Huntley, disappeared while volunteering on a remote island in Malaysia. What began as a missing person appeal quickly became an international campaign. Faced with limited information and growing concern, Sophie took matters into her own hands, coordinating a global effort to find Gareth. Harnessing the power of social media, international news outlets, political influence and public support, she helped transform a local search into a worldwide movement. The campaign drew attention from senior British government figures, including Prime Minister David Cameron and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, as pressure mounted on authorities to intensify the search efforts. Behind the headlines was a friend battling her own fears and uncertainty. Sophie shares the emotional toll of leading a high-profile search while desperately clinging to hope, navigating media scrutiny, and carrying the weight of responsibility for keeping Gareth's story alive. As the days passed and the search grew, she found herself confronting every possible outcome, including the one nobody wanted to face. Gareth's body was eventually discovered close to the conservation project where he had been volunteering, bringing a devastating end to the search. This is a story of friendship, resilience, determination and the extraordinary lengths ordinary people will go to for those they love. Sophie reflects on the lessons learned from tragedy, the strength found in community, and how one person's refusal to give up mobilised people across the world in pursuit of answers. A moving conversation about hope, loss, courage and the power of human connection when it matters most. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
