  • Thank you!

    I’ve found you at just the right time. Thank you for sharing and caring. I have been alone. I am still alone. I have tried so much over the last 3 years. None of it worked. My 15 yo daughter asking what is the point to life this weekend makes me feel like a failure. Your 1st podcast has given me hope. I look forward to more insight and guidance x

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The power of sports psychology for everyday mental health with Dr. Melissa Morrison
Q: How can listeners apply sports psychology concepts in everyday life?
By practicing metacognition, setting flexible goals, and using mindfulness and breathing strategies to regulate emotions, people can improve focus, resilience, and overall mental health outside high-pressure environments.
Eating disorder recovery and cosy living for mental health with Grace
Q: How did you manage the journey of recovery and what coping techniques helped you?
Grace shares techniques like externalizing the disorder, journaling with it, naming the disorder, and imagining the brain as a CD with the disorder as the track that can be paused or replaced with healthier thoughts, which helped weaken the disorder's grip over time.
Eating disorder recovery and cosy living for mental health with Grace
Q: What does an eating disorder look like beyond the stereotype of being underweight?
She describes how cognitive distortions, control issues, and fear around food can drive the disorder, even when physical appearance seems healthy. The condition is a mental illness with significant internal battles that require understanding and appropriate treatment.
Eating disorder recovery and cosy living for mental health with Grace
Q: Why did you start posting about mental health and recovery, and what motivated the campaign around BMI?
Grace explains she started posting during her recovery because BMI-based dismissal blocked access to care, even when she clearly needed help. The campaign evolved into a petition to remove BMI as a criterion, which gained media attention and helped push for better recognition of eating disorders beyond weight stereotypes.
