I live on the beautiful South Devon coast of England. I was a primary school teacher for 7 years before having my little boy. At this point, I found a love of working with babies and learning about their development. Wanting to keep my teaching close to me, I set up Story Sense which are unique sensory story classes which promote a love of books and stories through engaging and exciting activities which run in the South Hams.Becoming a parent is a daunting time, with so many unknowns. There is so much information out there which can be overwhelming and support can feel hard to accept and reach out for when you are supposed to just 'get on with it.' I created the Mumma & Me Collections to provide support and evidence based information across a whole range of areas from mental health support to 1:1 feeding support, financial support and advice from a professional, key developmental milestones information for your baby or toddler and activity ideas, a range of online baby and toddler classes for you to try at home, music downloads and a singalong to join in with and a friendly and supportive Facebook community where you can continue to ask questions and learn more about you and your developing little one and build a support network of others at the same place on their journey.

    Today I'm talking with Suzy Bashford about creativity and being your own superhero! Suzy is a writer, workshop facilitator and speaker podcaster based in the awesome Scottish Highlands, where she lives with her husband, 2 wee boys and Staffy dog Bramble. Mental health is a specialist subject of her work: she writes regularly for Psychologies magazine, has worked on marketing campaigns for the Mental Health Foundation and is professionally trained in delivering work shops in emotional intelligence and stress management. Suzy has also done talks on her own mental health journey from zero to superhero.Suzy lives a big juicy creative life here in the Highlands, but it wasn’t always this way and she wasn’t always this happy – in fact 12 years ago Suzy was hospitalised in a mother and baby unit with severe depression after my first son. That’s how bleak it was. It’s taken concerted effort, big decisions and a recognition that her mental health needs consistent nurturing to get to where she is today (mentally and geographically!). And of course, although yes – wild swimming, mountain biking and long walks in spectacular nature are now a part of her normal week – life isn’t always perfect here, either. (But you knew that already, whatever Instagram says, didn’t you?).Nurturing creativity is a big part of thriving both personally and professionally. Which is why Suzy has recently set up her company called Big Juicy Creative, which is all about approaching work briefs with a big dollop of big, juicy creativity. Suzy has also just launched a podcast called Big Juicy Creativity to inspire listeners (and herself!) with ideas on how to nurture a creative mindset towards life. For Suzy, this is key to riding the waves and enjoying the sail, whatever the weather.

    Compounding Risk

    In this final episode of the series, Alex Otte shares one of the key findings from the Boating Under the Influence Report and Dashboard. Research shows that the compounding risk of alcohol consumption in an on-water environment indicates that a person is more impaired on a boat than they would be on land with the same amount of alcohol in the same amount of time. The increased risk is present for everyone on a vessel, regardless of what their role is. People who are willing to engage in one type of risky behavior are more likely to engage in other types of risk behavior, too. Individuals who partake in alcohol consumption in an aquatic setting are statistically less likely to wear life jackets, and more likely to swim alone or in unsupervised areas. The relative risk of death is similar for operators and passengers and increases for both groups as BAC increases.

    In this fourth episode of the series, Alex Otte shares one of the key findings from the Boating Under the Influence Report and Dashboard. The expectation carried by much of the public is that as long as a person stays below the legal limit, 0.08 percent, that there are not at risk of impairment. Although there have been many studies to indicate the falsehood in that idea, claiming that impairment can occur at any blood alcohol content level upon a departure from 0.0 percent, this is of particular interest to the boating community. Given the compounding environmental stressors of an on-water setting, to include sun, heat, wind and the motion of the vessel, impairment can occur at a much lower blood alcohol concentration. Because low BAC's present greatly increasing relative risk in an on-water situation, alcohol use may actually be more hazardous on a boat than in other settings

    Male Drinking and Drowning

    In this third episode of the series, Alex Otte shares one of the key findings from the Boating Under the Influence Report and Dashboard. This finding addresses the research pertaining to the prevalence of alcohol-involved drownings, specifically within the adult male population. In 2011, two-thirds of reported drowning deaths occurred in people aged 15 and over. Almost 50 percent of all drownings that year occurred in males older than 15. The higher rates of male exposure to aquatic environments is compounded by high risk behaviors such as swimming alone, not wearing a personal flotation devices (PFD) when boating or swimming, and alcohol consumption. Excessive alcohol usage is likely to contribute to poor risk assessment and decision-making in recreational aquatic activity.

    In this introduction to the series, Alex Otte recounts the events that led her to develop a passion for boating under the influence enforcement and prevention. When Otte was 13 years old, she was sitting on a jet ski behind her father's house on Lake Herrington in Danville, Kentucky, when she was struck by a bass boat at a high rate of speed. It was quickly discovered that the operator of that vessel and his passenger were under the influence of alcohol. Otte was airlifted to the hospital where she remained in critical condition. The offender was given a small fine.

    Inadequate Reporting of Alcohol Involvement

    In this second episode of the series, Alex Otte shares one of the key findings from the Boating Under the Influence Report and Dashboard. A gap identified in the research is that of consistent alcohol testing in boating incidents and full reporting on these incidents. The proportion of recreational boating accidents that are alcohol related needs to be statistically determined, and inadequate reporting leaves researchers with an unclear picture of widespread impairment on our nation's waterways.

    Alcohol Consumption and Risk to Boating Passengers

    In this first episode of the series, Alex Otte shares one of the key findings from the Boating Under the Influence Report and Dashboard. Research on boating under the influence clearly demonstrates that alcohol use by boat passengers presents danger regardless of the activity of the operator. Countermeasures to reduce alcohol consumption by all occupants of the boat, consistent with the mission of the Operation Dry Water campaign, are more likely to be effective in reducing boating fatalities. While sober car drivers may greatly reduce the risks to their passengers, the same is not true on the water. The finding that people are more likely to drink on the water than when driving a car also suggests that there is a need to develop improved strategies to reduce drinking on the water.
