Expect plain, straightforward, and practical advice to reduce anxiety, stop avoiding issues, and be on your own side, with tools you can use today. If you want a calmer mindset every day and to feel better about yourself, this is for you. We’ll explore how to be more confident by learning how to back yourself and how to love yourself in real life, not just in theory… so you can really be at home in yourself and love yourself more, consistently.

Want to avoid a breakdown? You need to do this. (Episode 300)

You shouldn’t need to have a breakdown to learn how not to break down. If you’re dealing with difficult times and barely holding it together, this episode is for you. If it’s ever felt like you may have a nervous breakdown (or if you’ve already had one), or if you’ve found yourself heading towards an emotional breakdown, then you’ll know the impact that struggling mentally and emotionally can have on your quality of life. So, let’s turn things around!


In this week’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m talking about the importance of protecting your peace and the role it plays in avoiding a breakdown by helping you start spotting the early warning signs. You’ll learn what’s involved in setting boundaries without guilt, and how to start using simple coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and burnout. I’ll show you how to strip life back to what matters, take small daily actions (one day at a time), and choose a steadier pace that actually supports your mental health.


👉 Ready to reduce stress and feel more in control? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: Learn to spot the signs early, set better boundaries, and take small steps that prevent burnout… because prevention is a lot better than recovery. 🙂

Let's Talk About Mental Health
How your mindset shapes your reality (Episode 299)

Your thoughts can either be your prison or your freedom; it’s all a matter of the mindset you choose. Your mindset shapes the reality you live in... but what if most of what you believe about yourself and your life is just a story you’ve been telling on repeat?


When you default to negative thoughts, or when your mindset is harsh, or panicked, everything feels a lot harder. But when the story you tell yourself is steadier and kinder, and you adopt a more positive mindset, that’s when you start to take back control: your stress levels drop, your choices improve, and you can finally feel like you’re moving forward.


In this week’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m sharing how to change the way you experience life by shifting your mindset. You’ll learn practical ways to reset unhelpful patterns, choose calmer perspectives, and create a healthier outlook you can actually live with. Because when you change your mindset, you change everything.


👉 Ready to change your life by changing your mindset? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: If your thoughts are running the show, it’s time to take back control… because when you change your mindset, you change your life. 🙂

Let's Talk About Mental Health
Feeling desperate? Your next move matters (Episode 298)

Feeling like everything’s spiralling out of control, and you’re about to lose it? Desperation makes everything feel like an emergency… even when it’s not. That desperate energy sets your thoughts racing, your heart pounding, and suddenly you find you’re reacting instead of responding. But here’s the truth: feeling desperate doesn’t mean you’re broken or weak. It just means your nervous system is overloaded, and your brain is screaming for relief. So let’s explore what’s involved in overcoming desperation. 


In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’ll break down what desperation really is, why it hijacks your thinking, and — most importantly — how to interrupt the spiral before it takes over. You’ll learn practical strategies to ground yourself, manage the panic, and respond with clarity instead of chaos.


If you’ve ever thought “I can’t take this anymore,” this one’s for you. Because you don’t need to escape that feeling; you just need to stop letting it control your next move.


👉 Ready to feel less desperate and more calm? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: When you feel desperate, it can seem like chaos is your only option; in this episode I’ll show you how to take back control before desperation sucks you under. 🙂

Let's Talk About Mental Health
Let go or stay trapped (Episode 296)

Still stuck in a past that hurts? This episode shows you how to let go… even if you’re not ready, and even if it still stings. We’ll explore why letting go is so hard — grief, identity, and the lure of ‘closure’ — and then we’ll get practical. You’ll learn to name what you’re holding, feel what you’ve avoided, interrupt the ‘if only’ loop, stop trying to ‘win’ the past, set small boundaries, and more. We’ll focus on choosing peace over rumination, putting your energy where you have control, and taking small and doable steps forward. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect apology, or a tidy ending, then this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast offers you another way; one that protects your peace, and helps you carry your story differently.


👉 Ready to let go, even when it’s tough? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: Still holding on to something? Learn how to finally let go and take your life back. 😃

Let's Talk About Mental Health
This is what’s stealing your peace of mind (Episode 293)

Peace of mind shouldn’t feel this hard… and yet, it does. If finding peace feels tough right now, then this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast is for you. Struggling to find peace of mind — even when nothing’s technically wrong — often happens when things are getting in the way and preventing you from being able to fully switch off. If your brain feels full, you’re finding it difficult to unwind, and the smallest things set you off, then it’s time to work on improving your peace of mind. Because peace of mind isn’t something you just stumble across… it’s something you make space for. And since there’s so much that can get in the way of it, finding your peace also means actively tackling the stuff that’s preventing you from feeling calm. The truth is, your headspace is probably being taken up by things you’ve been tolerating for far too long that are actually doing you more harm than good… so, let’s change that! In this episode I’m breaking down what peace of mind really is, why it often feels impossible to find, and how to clear the mental and emotional clutter that’s getting in the way. You don’t need a total life overhaul; just a few intentional shifts that will help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control. If your inner world feels chaotic, then let’s talk about how to reclaim your peace!


👉 Ready to improve your peace of mind? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: If peace of mind feels impossible lately, this episode will help you uncover what’s really getting in the way… and how to finally take back your calm! 😃


💬 Let me know:   What’s one thing you’ve been tolerating that’s been quietly draining your peace of mind?

Navigating challenging relationships (without all the drama) (Episode 289)

Navigating relationship challenges doesn’t have to mean dealing with constant conflict or emotional chaos.

I’ll also guide you through a four-stage process for dealing with drama calmly and clearly… without losing yourself in the process. Because while you can’t control other people, you can control how you respond. So if you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, or stuck in emotional survival mode, this one’s for you.

Let's Talk About Mental Health
Can’t let go of your anger? This is why... (Episode 288)

Still holding onto anger? You’re not alone... but it could be stealing your peace of mind. In this powerful episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m breaking down why anger lingers long after the moment has passed — and how you can finally start letting your anger go. Learn why anger is often a mask for deeper pain, how it becomes tied to your identity, and why holding onto anger might feel safer than facing what’s underneath. More importantly, discover practical ways to release your anger, without pretending nothing happened. Because real healing starts when you choose peace over punishment. So whether you’re dealing with resentment or emotional burnout, or you're just tired of feeling weighed down by the past, this episode will help you reclaim your energy and move forward with clarity. 


👉 Letting anger go in a healthy way starts here... so, let's talk!


💡 TL;DR: Holding onto anger feels like control — but it’s actually stealing your peace of mind. 😃


💬 Let me know:   What’s one simple thing you can do today to start loosening your grip on any anger that you’ve been carrying?
