    Episode 8: What's (self) Love Got To Do With It? Practicing Self-Compassion

    In our final session of season one, we're looking at self-compassion. Why is it that we're often much harder on ourselves that we are on others? What barriers stop us from being kinder to ourselves? And is cake the answer? (spoiler - cake is always the answer). If you feel you have no idea when it comes to self-compassion, join Emily and Nathan as they explore what self-compassion means, and offer some tips on how to be more compassionate to the most important person in your world - you.

    Episode 7: Who Do I Think I Am? Managing Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter Syndrome affects around 76% of people at some point in their lives. And yet, due to the nature of it, we don't like to talk about how it affects us. We think it's about time that changed and we started sharing more of our experiences of Imposter Syndrome. Well, one of us does. Join Emily and Nathan as they unpack the heaviness that is Imposter Syndrome, looking at how it affects people and some tips on how to manage it if you are one of the 76%, including taking your inner critic to court!

    Episode 6: Know Means No - Knowing When to Say No and Hold Your Boundaries

    We can't really talk about mental health and not talk about boundaries. They're the hidden factor when it comes to positive mental health, affecting self-care, stress levels and relationships. It's also something we're not really ever taught, and we may not have had healthy boundaries mirrored for us. That makes it much harder to recognise both the importance of healthy boundaries, and how to put them in place. In this episode Nathan and Emily are going to unpick the complexities when it comes to setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, via the obvious and perfectly reasonable routes of Tom Grennan, consent, the Alton Towers rollercoaster Nemesis, and British culture at large. They'll also be giving you tips for how to set healthier boundaries if this is something that you struggle with. As an added bonus, find out which of the two failed GCSE Art at school!

    Episode 5: Pillow Talk - How Sleep Affects Your Mood and Mind

    We all know that good sleep is essential to how we feel physically, but did you know it's equally important for our mental health? In fact, poor sleep can impact on everything from low mood, to anxious thoughts, and our ability to deal with the normal day to day stresses of life. But as many of us will know, getting a good night’s sleep can be tricky, particularly when we're struggling with our mental wellbeing. Join Emily and Nathan - two people who love their sleep - as they dive into the ways in which sleep is connected to mental health, explore tips for better sleep hygiene (yes that really is the term used to describe our night time habits and rituals) and discover which of them slept really poorly last night and isn't the least bit unhappy about it.

    Episode 4: A Little Stress Conversation

    We're all familiar with stress. Sometimes a little too familiar. As well as being a common emotion to feel (and sometimes a useful one) it is also one of the most common causes of poor mental health. In this latest episode Emily and Nathan unpack what stress is, and the difference between useful stress and pesky unhelpful stress. They'll also share the things that can help with stress and explore some useful tips form their professional experience as therapists, and their personal experiences. Including why we should do more pointless things to help combat stress. Oh, and they gave themselves a time limit of 30 minutes to get the recording done, because why not add more stress to an episode about stress?
