Today's episode is the perfect way to kick-start your 2023! I'm joined by the fabulous Ella Sheehan who gifted me one of my all-time favourite books; 'The Resilience Project: Finding Happiness through Gratitude, Empathy & Mindfulness (GEM).
This book has the potential to change your life and mine, so we decided to touch on some key parts of the book, GEM, and how we have incorporated these skills into our lives.
Encompassing Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness can lower stress, anxiety and depression and therefore improve quality of life and optimism.
I strongly encourage you to read Hugh's book and really immerse yourself in the emotions and insight he provides.
Trigger Warning this episode does talk about eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa)

Unfortunately, when people talk about mental health, it quite often gets brushed under the carpet within our society. Today's short episode dives into how mental health and mental illness awareness is vital for everyday living. You'll hear different perspectives ranging from the stigma around men's mental health from Mitch and Amara, an Exercise Physiologist's journey with her mental health.
Whether you're a sports fanatic or gym junkie, everyone encounters exercise throughout their lives. Growing up and to this day I know myself and a lot of my friends love exercising, however, sometimes we can lose track of why exercise is so important for our bodies, mentally and physically.
In today's episode, I am joined by Pat Stanely, a PT at my gym who shares his story and the positive and negative relationships he has had with exercise. He touches on how exercise has helped him alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and heartbreak, whilst recovering from body dysmorphia and an eating disorder. Being a gym gal myself I thought it would also be interesting to see how gym culture for boys differs from girls.
Remember exercise is a CELEBRATION of what our bodies can do!

In the last 16mins of the episode (Part 2), 'From Plaid Skirts to the Real World' we highlight the importance of doing your own research to find your hobbies once you graduate from High School. We also discuss that you should not get caught up in what your friend's or other people are doing when choosing your course for University and to follow your own path.
In this episode, I'm joined by three of my closest childhood friends Jade, Abbey and Bella where we have a little bit of a chat about our different experiences when transitioning from High School to University. Part 1 of the episode starts off with us reminiscing about how we felt when graduating from high school and the responsibilities which come with growing up. Our conversation ranges from learning to double-check your assignment actually submitted, to the power stereotyping can have on people and soaking up that freedom whilst you are young.
