ROAD TO RESPAIR . The OED has “respair”, both as a noun and verb, meaning the return of hope after a period of despair Long time Friend of G!RO, Nick Frendo from Ascnd.cc joins us in the Podcast Studio ahead of this week's Mental Health Awareness Week! Nick is a Mental Health advocate, and his work with Ascnd.cc is having a real & lasting impact across the UK, Europe & beyond. Mental Health Awareness Week - May 9th-16th - is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health. The Mental Health Foundation started the event 21 years ago. Each year the Foundation continues to set the theme, organise and host the week. The event has grown to become one of the biggest awareness weeks across the UK and globally. This year the focus is Lonliness. Which is a timely reminder to reflect on the happenings of Covid, Lockdown and all that came with it. Its great to catch up with Nick to hear of how the last couple years have been for him & ASCND, and we also discuss The Mental Health First Aid Course that ASCND is putting on for some of our staff here at G!RO, which is supported by Lucky Saint. A really impactful listen. So sit back, grab a brew & enjoy!

Adapt & overcome. While Eric undergoes a studio relocation, Jay & Maria have an episode between their therapy sessions. As you can imagine, the discussion takes on the topics surrounding the humanness that is modern living and mental health. Maria reports how she was under stress about a potential lousy midterm grade that was the opposite. The conversation steers to the worry about outcomes and the pressure that we undertake due to it. A sad trombone sound effect leads to discussing what it would be to have that sound as a morning alarm. Does the day's start with one adverse event have to set the tone for your entire day? The consensus, a single morning event should not set the mood for your whole day leading to more questions. Do we allow things we take in to alter our mental disposition? Does sad music create a melancholy mood in our day? The impact of a daily regimen on a person's ability to get exercise is discussed. Jay seems to think saving up your activity and trying to make it up in an hour at the gym surely can't be the best way to live. The two discuss how we let others' feelings about us dictate our internal feelings. The reality is that everyone is sitting in fear of judgment so much that they barely have time to notice what anyone else is doing. What did your coworkers wear yesterday? The vast majority don't remember what you wore either. We spend valuable headspace, letting our emotions controlled by worry or the sheer potential of judgment.Maria has a beef with her local area's surplus of Dollar Stores. Why are there so many in her neighborhood? Is the only difference between CVS and a dollar sore just knock-off brands? Jay complains about all is poor kid knock off cereals. Maria wants Cocoa Puffs and not "Chocolate Poofies" While Jay overdosed on Golden Grahams shortly after joining the army. Do we fill the holes from our childhood with pleasures today? The two wrap up by making the call that bacon only comes from pigs, and it's a hard no on turkey "bacon."
“You are far more likely to work with somebody that is experiencing suicidal thoughts than with somebody that is about to have a heart attack” In this episode I have a powerful and inspiring conversation with Emma Mainoo, Partner and Head of Mental Health at Utopia, the culture-change consultancy I collaborate with, which works with businesses to create more purposeful, more inclusive, and more entrepreneurial cultures. She is the creator of the platform Surviving Sundays, a Mental Health First Aid Course instructor and a remarkable keynote speaker on mental health. Emma shares with us her personal experience from being an extraordinarily successful Marketing and PR professional who has worked on award winning campaigns with leading brands, to experiencing life-threatening depression and a total mental breakdown and the subsequent healing process she went through. She now helps leading companies to address the increasing problem of tackling mental health issues amongst their workforce with her unique and taboo-breaking perspective. Together we explore the impact of the pandemic on people's mental health and we discuss the link to the #BlackLivesMatter movement and how it affected us. Emma explains some actionable steps organisations need to take to create a culture where people feel like they can speak out and people know how to reach in. You can also hear about Mental Health First Aid training and why it is now a necessity for any successful and creative organisation. I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned from this conversation and I hope you will too.

In this special first year anniversary episode, I was fortunate enough to chat with the ever knowledgeable Robert Murch, who is the worlds best known Ouija Board expert and who is also the “chairman of the board” at the Talking Board Society. I was able to ask him about the legal consequences of using a Oujia Board and his thoughts on the latest Charlie Charlie Challenge and THAT pink Ouija board. I also have a quick chat to attendees of the most recent Mental Health First Aid Course plus since it’s the first anniversary, one must have the obligatory bloopers reel!
