Why is “sorry” so often the easiest word for women? It's a question author and mental health campaigner Lucy Nichol found herself asking on a regular basis, and a topic she covers in her latest novel, No Worries If Not!. She and Mick chat about apologies, how empowered we really were back in the ‘90s, and what they'd like to see on a T-shirt. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Dr Carrie Dunn makes a welcome return to chat all things women's football, the new WSL season, and her book Woman Up: Pitches Pay and Periods – the progress and potential of women's football. In Rated or Dated, we ask – once again - how romantic is stalking? And has Hannah finally found something she hates more than Love Actually? We watch 1993's Sleepless in Seattle. Plus, in the Bush Telegraph, we're thankful for animals and, er, cornflakes. You heard.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to episode 140 with Lucy Nichol, who is a writer and mental health campaigner. Her recent book, Snowflake, takes a deep-dive into some of the most harmful mental health stereotypes and in this episode Lucy and I chat about where these stereotypes come from and the impact that they have. We chat about Lucy's own experiences with anxiety and panic attacks and how the conversation around mental health has changed since her teenage years. We chat about the stigma that surrounds mental health in general but also what the word stigma actually means and how the way we talk to each other matters just as much as what we're talking about. We chat language, identity, compassion and some of the wonderful ways that young people are changing and impacting society and we explore some of the reasons why some people are so against that change. It was wonderful to chat to Lucy, not just about mental health, but about lots of other areas of society that can affect how we think and feel about ourselves and our place in the world. However, if you are the sort of person that doesn't like listening to woke, snowflakes having a chat then this probably isn't the episode for you!

Lucy Nichol takes the Chops reins this week. Society loves to stigmatise, but more often than not, the whole story isn't in the public domain. Lucy talks to a woman who had her children taken into care.

See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Mental health is becoming an increasingly poignant issue in academia. Studies completed in the last few years have published rather worrying statistics about the mental wellbeing of students and researchers, posing questions about what can be done to support them. Much of this starts with tackling the stigma. We're joined by Lucy Nichol, a writer and blogger that has used her own experiences with mental health to reach out and support others, as well as raising general awareness for the topic. In this podcast, Lucy talks about the variety and specific nature of generalised anxiety disorders, how they often start, are viewed, and what steps we can take to bettering our understanding of such issues.

Following on from BBC programme The Restaurant That Burns Off Calories, writer Lucy Nichol catches up with campaigner and author Hope Virgo to talk about how to have a responsible conversation about diet and eating disorders. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen ponders the prospect of two becoming one in tennis, and women be screaming as Hannah takes on The Poseidon Adventure in Dunleavy Does Disaster.

And so she’s chatted to four women about their very different experiences with mental health. Anna Foster is talking OCD, Claire Eastham is chatting social anxiety, Poorna Bell talks about her late husband’s addiction and the unhelpful stereotypes of drug users we’re forever seeing in the media, and finally, Hope Virgo explains the issues around anorexia and why her #dumpthescales campaign is a life-saver.
