    Feeling stuck is a common experience for many of us. We know we do not want this situation or pattern of behaviour anymore, but we can’t seem to shift it. Dr Heather Mckee helps us to reframe the feeling of stuck and to make positive mental health a habit. She uses examples from mindfulness, movement, relationships as well as examples of gratitude, acts of kindness and how we can look forward to things as mechanisms for moving from ‘stuck’ to action. If you feel as though you are unable to shift into a more positive mindset or different ‘space’ in life then this podcast if full of ideas and tips.

  • 11: What is psychological safety and why does it matter?

    11: What is psychological safety and why does it matter?
    Oct 2 2024
    This podcast will help you to understand either as a people manager or a colleague how we can come together to make our workplaces ‘safe spaces’.

    Psychological safety is critical for a workplace to thrive. Dr Nicola Stenberg explains what psychological safety is and how we can positively change it. It’s also increasingly important with the rising number of individuals struggling with their mental health. Psychological safety allows people to feel a sense of, ‘unconditional worth’ with minimal evaluation or judgement in the workplace. It means working without fear of negative consequences. In previous generations, pace and precision on the assembly line was the critical skill. In this modern workplace we manage complex relationships and process diverse information, making hundreds of minute decisions daily, trying to fight ‘fire’ and solve new problems. We have to take risks without a fear of consequences, experimenting with ideas without feeling stupid. If we don’t feel psychological safety then we feel fear which counteracts effective thinking, leadership, co-operation and decision making.

    13: Why kindness leads to change with Carey Davis Munro
    Sep 4 2024
    There is a new science around kindness and compassion, and how transformative it is for mental health. In this podcast, Carey Davis Munro discusses the benefits of being kind and how this research around the ‘helpers high’ demonstrates the positive benefits for the self in being kind and helpful to others. Carey discusses random acts of kindness and how these differ from kindness itself. The concept of self-compassion and self-care is also unpacked, Carey discusses how the social media illustration of baths and candles really is not reflective of true self compassion and kindness. This podcasts really helps us to realise that the simple practice of kindness can be transformative for ourselves and others.
