WEEK 10: GROWTH featuring Mike and John, along with returning guest hosts Sarah and Laura! Job done! Begin again in 10 - a guided and supported pathway for wellness and resilience. When Talk About It Mate came about, it had a mission. To make sure people never felt like they were alone and that there was the support they were looking for, that they needed right there and then. The podcast episodes will focus on honest talk and validation on topics beginning with things such as Loneliness and Failure all the way through to Self-Compassion, Courage and Pride. These topics were not chosen at random. They are carefully considered to mirror the journey that our founder, volunteers and members have been on towards wellness and recovery - a journey that never ends. This campaign seeks to give people hope in a practical, accessible way - no lofty concepts and out of reach achievements. All that's required is to show up.... and we did! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/talkaboutitmate/message

With Father's Day coming up this weekend, our guests for this episode were Kieran and Nick from Dad Matters. I was also joined by John and Ed from the Talk About It Mate community. Dad Matters is a Home-Start Project, based in Greater Manchester. They aim to help dads have successful relationships with their families, and to support dads with anxiety, stress and mental health issues. This was a really interesting and insightful episode. We learned so much from Kieran and Nick about what Dad Matters do and how lucky we are to have this in Greater Manchester. Let us know what you think! https://dadmatters.org.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB94in41rWboL3ejwRHo6DQ https://www.instagram.com/dadmattersuk/ https://twitter.com/dadmattersuk https://www.facebook.com/DadMattersUK/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/talkaboutitmate/message
