TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode of Raising Healthy Mothers we discuss eating disorders and disordered eating patterns. This may be upsetting or triggering for you if this is in your or your family's recent history. If you are not ready to listen to a discussion on eating disorders then please do not listen to this episode.   What do you do as a parent when your child stops eating in the way you have come to expect? What do you do if you suspect an eating disorder but your child won't talk to you? And what about if you struggle with your own body as a mother and start changing your attitude and behaviour around food?   As a nutritional therapist I have noticed a recent surge in disordered eating patterns in my clients, whether in their past or recent history. This is outside my expertise, but I wanted to understand more about eating disorders and so I invited Deirdre Reddan onto the show to talk about supporting loved ones through eating disorders.   We discussed... The difference between eating disorders and disordered eating Eating disorders as an illness rather than a choice How to spot the early signs that a loved one may be struggling with food Recovering from eating disorders and how it happens How to get support for disordered eating patterns The central role parents play in their child's recovery The risk of developing eating disorders in motherhood and how to get support. In many ways this was a difficult topic to discuss, but much needed. It's a topic that is not talked about as often as it should given the statistics on occurrence, and so I hope recording this episode will help to remove the shame and taboo around it, as well as bring awareness and – most importantly – hope to those struggling, whether themselves or their loved ones.   If you are in the UK and would like any immediately help with any of the topics discussed on this episode, please contact your GP or call Mind, Samaritans, SANEline or CALM. In an emergency, please call 999.   Find Deirdre: Website | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn Connect with me:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tashadcruz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tashadcruznutrition Website: https://tashadcruz.com/podcast Loved this episode?

This week on Who We Are Now Richard and Izzy are joined by one of their favourite guests from last season, anxiety therapist Josh Fletcher to answer the question, can you be a little bit 'OCD'?. Richard and Izzy will be the first to admit that they've thrown around the phrase 'that's a bit OCD around', and they know it's probably not quite right. As someone who's experienced obsessive compulsive disorder and now helps his clients recover, Josh is in the unique position of both experiencing and mastering his OCD behaviours. In this episode, he unpacks the reality that you can't be a 'little bit OCD' as he exposes the harsh realities of life with obsessive compulsive disorder.Listen on Global Player to hear the next episode a whole day earlier than anywhere else.

VYS0039 | Try Not To Be A Dick Shall Be The Whole Of The Law - Vayse to Face with Duncan Barford - Show Notes After a 3 month break, Vayse returns for an interview with a person who inspired the podcast before it was even a podcast - writer, podcaster and psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counsellor, Duncan Barford. Duncan's book Occult Experiments in the Home was a major influence on Hine and Buckley's views on magick and mysticism but for this interview they zero in on aspects of his career as a therapist, focusing on mental health and how this can affect and be affected by the occult and occult practices: Why do so many prominent figures in magick seem to have mental health issues or addictions? Where do you draw the line between mystical experience and mental health disorder? How do you maintain a magical practice when your mental health isn't good? Is it safe to have a magical practice at all? and most importantly... what kind of deep-seated psychological damage is preventing Hine from remembering the name of Duncan's new book? (Recorded 12 June 2024).

Welcome to this week's episode of Across the Pond Golf Podcast. We start with the somber news that the family, the golf world, and the greater community has lost Grayson Murray. Our hearts go out to everyone affected. Remember, life isn't an easy road, and if you're struggling, seek relief through communication and assistance. People love you and care about you—you're not alone. Please use available support resources and reach out to those who might need you as well. Despite this tragic loss, we also embrace the joy and unity that golf brings us. The PGA family paid tribute to Grayson Murray with immense professionalism, and support poured in from all corners of the golf world, including LIV's Bubba Watson and Korn Ferry's Harry Higgs. It's heartwarming to see how golf unites us as a family. We also celebrate Davis Riley's remarkable achievement this week—he overcame significant hurdles to pick up his first win, a feat that deserves its own spotlight. On the LPGA front, Nelly Korda continues her domination, making waves as she heads into the U.S. Open. Could this be her year for a Grand Slam? Join us as we navigate through these emotional highs and lows with empathy, insight, and a touch of humor. This is Across the Pond Golf Podcast, where we find happiness beyond the pain, one swing at a time.

In this episode we're joined by special guest Laura Capell-Abra, founder of Stress Matters. Together, we delve into a critical topic that often goes unaddressed – how to navigate the aftermath of a loss, specifically by suicide, within a team. We also talk about what you can do to support your teams mental health.Laura strongly believes that Success doesn't have to be Stressful. After working in the events industry for 17 years, running global event campaigns, writing the For Dummies guide to Event Management and running a successful agency, Laura experienced her fair share of stress and pressure.Going on a path of discovery and re-training, Laura set up coaching and development company No More Ifs Or Buts in 2016 to support creatively minded individuals to achieve more whilst working more effectively (and therefore less!).Following this, in 2019, Laura launched her second business, Stress Matters, a workplace wellbeing organisation, and now certified B Corporation, to support cultural change in workplaces around wellbeing.Take the How Well Is Your Workplace?

SVYS001 - Show Notes Welcome to SideVayse: an extra shot of weird across the bows of an increasingly incohesive reality. This is a place for the oddities that don't quite belong in the main podcast but are still certified 100% pure Vayse. SideVayse is going to be the place where we try some things that are a bit different, perhaps a bit more experimental, perhaps even weirder than the main podcast. We honestly don't know yet. But in Vayse we trust. In this inaugural episode of SideVayse, Hine talks about his recent musings on Numinous Melancholy, the pleasurable sadness that seems to haunt the winter months, why the feeling is particularly potent this year and what, if anything, can be done about it. Recorded 15 December 2022. SVYS001 - Show Notes Music Carol of the Bells (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjqQcXdzmr0) - Fleming and John's version and Hine's all time favourite.

In this week’s episode we discuss the Bury Your Gay Trope. From its history to our first experience watching it on our screens. We just want to put a TRIGGER WARNING on this episode, as there is discussion of death and LGBTQ+ suicide statistics throughout. If discussions of these topics are detrimental to your health please do not listen to this episode. We discuss the trope’s variants from out of the closet and into the fire, the gay guy dies first and the, almost inevitable, homophobic hate crimes. The impact on the community when queer characters are scarce to find and how in some cases these fates are a stark reminder of reality for the LGBTQ+ community worldwide. Our upset at the lack of happy endings are usually thrown the “anyone can die” argument which can be taken personally by many. Some of us often associate being queer with living an unhappy life or facing early death because that’s what we see on our screens. We also touch upon the idea of chosen family and having a connection to other LGBTQ people unlike any other within our lives. As well as mentioning good representation such as Wynonna Earp and One Day at a Time. And our hopes for this trope and the lives of our future fictional LGBTQ+ characters.

On today’s episode, my friend Bernard details his battle with depression and anxiety; relationship breakdowns and his journey to discovering the importance of self-love. On the ride we are relinquishing all the shame attached to the taboo topic of mental health; we are learning to honour our feelings and we are practicing the need to be kind to ourselves. Resources:  Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7  Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. John 14:27  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 2 Timothy 1:7  For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
