This time I had a chance to talk to Madeline Lee who is a transformational mindset coach. Madeline’s challenges with mental health started when she was diagnosed with herpes. After dealing with a lot of stigma, physical, and emotional pain herself, she now helps other people get through their challenges in life. She has a “Ride your stigma” podcast, she is a multi-talented life coach, she teaches dancing and twerking, and spreads positive energy wherever she goes.

In this episode I had a chance to speak to my good friend Anna Lampart. She is a life coach and a very inspiring, open-minded person. Our intention was to have a conversation about shame, but we have also managed to cover a few other interesting subjects.

This time my guest was my good friend Natalie Lockyer. We had a conversation about her challenges with mental health and having a meltdown in the middle of an open plan office. Natalie is very experienced in martial arts, holding a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and having an experience of running 4 fighting gyms. She is a life coach who wants to help organisations improve culture and performance through conscious leadership.

Andy and Tommy who have created the legendary "Man up podcast" have been my guests in this episode.
We talked about how they challenge the stereotypes around men's mental health, how they use their podcast and weekly meetings to connect with a group of men who support each other through challenging times.  Andy and Tommy have also shared their personal struggles with mental health and what helped them to find balance in life.
