The lived experience podcast is about sharing real people's stories of lived experiences on a large range of mental health topics. As a child of a single mother with BiPolar, I wanted to create interviews that would fill the content gap around this subject and lesser-known issues that are covered in the current mental health awareness movement. Mental health awareness and advocacy go far beyond depression and anxiety. I hope these discussions shine a lot on issues you may not be aware of or even inform you that you are not alone. Learn more at www.livedexperiencepodcast.com

    Empowering Children to Discover Inner Calm: A Conversation with Karen Gibb founder of Mind Marvels

    Empowering Children to Discover Inner Calm: A Conversation with Karen Gibb founder of Mind Marvels

    I love people who do what my guest has done, to create a business that doesn't only help people but allows others to do so as well, whilst making a living is a truly remarkable achievement!

    Karen Gibb is the founder and CEO of Mind Marvels which is an award-winning franchise created by Karen Gibb.

    Karen is a fully qualified teacher and has prior experience in youth development and early years education.

    Karen taught young people with social, emotional and behavioural needs and pupils with severe and complex additional support needs, including autism and ADHD.

    Through her work, Karen saw the benefits for children when they were taught practical ways to support their own emotional well-being but many did not know how to support themselves.

    “As an anxious youngster myself, I now make a direct, positive impact on children and their emotional wellbeing.”

    Mind Marvels gives children calming tools and practical strategies to understand their own emotions to feel more confident, build resilience and learn skills for life.

    Mind Marvels has now franchised the business so like-minded individuals can own a Mind Marvels business in their local area. To learn more check out https://mindmarvels.com/

    Bouncing back from BiPolar after a family loss! Interview with Tim Beanland

    In this episode, we engage in a candid conversation with Tim Beanland, a successful video marketer whose life and thriving business were abruptly disrupted by a family tragedy. The loss had a severe impact, plunging him into an 11-month-long depression, a struggle intensified by his existing battle with Bipolar Disorder.
    Tim shares his experience dealing with grief and the additional complications his mental health condition brought to the process of healing and recovery. His journey is a reflection on the resilience one can muster in the face of overwhelming sorrow and the intricate ways mental health is interwoven with experiences of loss and grief.
    This conversation aims to shed light on the importance of understanding and addressing mental health and offers insights into managing life and mental well-being during trying times. Whether you’re dealing with mental health conditions, have experienced loss, or have an interest in psychological resilience, this episode provides a thoughtful perspective on navigating through life's challenges and finding a path to recovery.

Goes beyond platitudes to push for real change

Joel speaks his mind and, although I don’t agree with him all of the time, we should admire his courage and insight. Plus, he has great guests and really cares about actually helping people with mental illness and their carers.
