Today I chat to George, and really explore what it's like to answer the question, 'how are you?'. We talk about having these sorts of conversations with mates, how difficult this can be and how we all should check in on those around us. We also look at the amazing emotions wheel that everyone should print out, laminate, and stick up on their walls.

Today I am joined by my lovely friend Liv! We discuss the topic of Neurodiversity, what this means, what this may look like and how this impacts people and their mental health.

The audio cut out slightly nearer the start and because I'm not tech savvy I haven't worked out how to make it sound seamless yet, so for now theres some funky audio going on!

Enjoy!

Today I chat to Naomi and our passion for young people, how we want to see them own their identity, and not feel held back in any situation. We discuss how important it is for young people to have a space to be vulnerable and open, and how we have the privilege and responsibility to support, listen, and come alongside them.

Today I chat to Meg all about how fighting for climate and social justice is intrinsically linked to fighting for better mental health. We discuss eco-anxiety, how the climate emergency directly impacts the mental health emergency, as well as Meg's love for hair dye.

Meg and Grace set up 180, a platform fighting to end environmental and social injustice. Check them out: @letsmakea180

They also host their own show - the 180 Podcast with Dan, so give that a listen!!
