    What is your body trying to tell you? (Episode 337)

    Physical anxiety symptoms can feel terrifying, especially when anxiety and stress start showing up in your body with chest tightness, nausea, a racing heart, or panic attack symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere. So, we need to talk about how to identify and deal with physical anxiety symptoms... and how to calm them. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I explore what happens when anxiety stops feeling like ‘just worry’ and starts showing up physically, as well as why anxiety happens and how the body can get stuck in a feedback loop. We’ll also explore how nervous system anxiety can leave you dealing with heart palpitations anxiety, anxiety nausea, anxiety exhaustion, and other anxiety physical effects that make everyday life feel harder than it needs to. I break down anxiety vs panic attack symptoms, look at what somatic anxiety can actually feel like, and share practical mental health tips to help you respond more calmly, understand the pattern beneath your symptoms, and start finding real anxiety relief instead of feeding the fear.  This episode is for anyone dealing with anxiety symptoms, a panic attack, an anxiety attack, or the exhausting confusion of wondering whether what you’re feeling is stress, burnout, an anxiety disorder, or something more serious.  👉 Ready to understand your anxiety symptoms better and find peace? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: Think your symptoms are random?

    Why you feel like a burden... and how to stop (Episode 336)

    Do you feel like a burden if you need help from others? Do you keep asking yourself whether you’re too much, too needy, or too hard to support?  In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about feeling like a burden when you’re struggling and why that belief can quietly fuel low self worth, self doubt, emotional suppression, hyper independence, trust issues, and the fear of being a burden whenever you need emotional support.  If you’ve ever talked yourself out of asking for help, felt worthless for having needs, or let your inner critic convince you that your emotional pain is a problem for other people, this episode is for you. I explore where that pattern comes from, how shame and emotional vulnerability can mean you start to feel unsafe quickly, and why asking for help does not make you weak, needy, or broken. I also unpack how overcoming self sabotage and healing trauma, as well as building self compassion, can help you stop treating your needs like something you have to apologise for, so you can find healthier and clearer ways to seek mental health support.  👉 Ready to ask for support without shame taking over? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: If you’re struggling with feeling like a burden, low self worth, or the fear of asking for help, this episode will help you understand why it happens and how to seek support without shame running the show.

So, let's talk about how to survive a breakup without losing your sense of self. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about how to deal with a breakup in a way that’s honest, practical, and kind to yourself.

I talk about why feeling stuck is often not just a motivation problem, and how to enjoy life more through simple and meaningful shifts that build momentum over time. This is an honest, practical conversation about how to stop feeling numb, how to get out of a rut, how to be more present, and how intentional living can help you change your life in realistic ways.  So if you’ve been asking yourself how to enjoy life, how to be happy, how to start over, and how to stop existing and start living, or wondering why your purpose driven life feels so far away, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to start re-engaging with your life with more kindness, clarity, and self-respect.  👉 Ready to start participating in your life more fully?

    How to deal with manipulation (Episode 333)

    Feeling manipulated by someone? Manipulation can include guilt tripping, pressure, emotional manipulation, controlling behaviour, and sometimes gaslighting, but the common thread is the same: someone is trying to pull you away from your own needs, wants, and choices. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about how to deal with manipulation: what manipulative behavior is, and how to approach emotional manipulation in a more assertive way, especially when manipulation tactics make it hard to navigate a difficult relationship. If you’re dealing with manipulative people, toxic relationships, or unhealthy relationships, or if you’re trying to understand the signs of manipulation before you get pulled in too far, this episode is for you. I’ll explore why guilt and manipulation can affect your self-esteem and mental health so deeply, why manipulative dynamics often get worse when you start setting boundaries, and how to say no without over-explaining, apologising, or letting someone else’s pressure make your choices for you. You’ll learn how to recognise manipulation earlier, respond with more self-respect, and practice assertiveness in a way that protects your peace without turning you into someone cold or cruel.  👉 Ready to recognise manipulation and respond more assertively? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: If guilt trips, gaslighting, or manipulative behaviour keep pushing you into saying yes when you really mean no, this episode will help you spot manipulation earlier and respond with more self-respect.

    Why you still feel lonely around other people (Episode 332)

    Ever wondered, “Why am I lonely even when people are around me?” You’re not alone, and loneliness around others is more common that you might think.  In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about loneliness in one of its most confusing forms: feeling alone, unseen, and disconnected even when you’re surrounded by other people. If you feel lonely in friendships, at work, in a relationship, or in social situations that look fine on the outside, this episode is for you. I explore why loneliness is not just about having no friends or being physically by yourself, but about the quality of your connection, the levels of loneliness people can experience, and what may be driving chronic loneliness or that constant thought of “why am I lonely?”. I also look at why you may feel unseen, how to deal with loneliness, what to do when you feel lonely around other people, and how to stop feeling lonely by building connections that feels more real.  So if you’ve been wondering how to overcome loneliness, how to feel more connected, or why being around people still leaves you feeling alone, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and what to do next.  👉 Ready to feel more connected and less alone? Then let’s talk! 💡 TL;DR: If you often feel lonely even around other people, this episode will help you understand why you feel alone, what you need to focus on, and how to start overcoming loneliness and build real connections.  Let’s Talk About Mental Health with Jeremy Godwin is all about practical mental health advice for real life; each week I teach you how to improve your mental wellbeing with simple tips that actually work, drawing on my professional expertise as a counsellor as well as my personal experience living with anxiety and depression.

    Are you dealing with fatigue and anxiety, brain fog, and that horrible feeling of being both wired and worn out at the same time? Welcome to one of the most common anxiety symptoms: fatigue. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about why ‘anxiety exhaustion’ can leave you feeling flat, mentally exhausted, emotionally exhausted, and stuck in survival mode even when you’re trying your best to hold it all together. This episode is for anyone who feels anxious often, keeps pushing through stress and anxiety, and is starting to wonder whether they’re dealing with burnout, mental exhaustion, anxiety symptoms, or just some vague kind of fatigue they can’t explain.  I unpack how anxiety, stress, and constant internal pressure can quietly drain your system, fuel brain fog, and make ordinary life feel harder than it should, and I explore how to stop anxiety and fatigue feeding each other without piling on more pressure or pretending you can just “power through”. If you’ve ever worried about adrenal fatigue, felt confused by your anxiety symptoms, or wondered why anxiety relief can feel so hard when you’re already worn down, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to begin breaking the cycle in practical, realistic ways.  👉 Ready to understand your exhaustion and start breaking the cycle?
