We tend to think of traumatic events and the most significant of life's challenges as unremittingly negative. But what emerges after an experience that feels as if it has destroyed us is an opportunity to rebuild. We discuss, the opportunities that present themselves when we hit the bottom. If that weren't enough, someone is assaulted with vegan mayo, Martin grateful for the opportunity to spend his weekend up a ladder, and I let myself down badly with the lack of knowledge on late 70s music. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

What makes us lose trust in ourselves, and how can we rebuild it once it's gone? If you've lost faith in yourself as a result of addiction or any other mental health difficulty, we're here to help. There's also biscuit talk, a new snake is discovered, and all your favourites. It's good to be back.  https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

Is it safe to go on holiday when you're in early recovery? What are the risks and how can you mitigate them? This week, we address these questions, and more. We also wonder if headbanging has gone out of fashion, hear about how spreading consumables on the floor is art, and ask the question, 'what misfortune might prevent you from seeing rock band Uriah Heap?' It's our last stop before the summer break so, pull up a sun lounger and join us. Back in September. Thanks for sticking around. Big love to you all. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

What does a feeling of emptiness really mean? Does it indicate there's something seriously wrong, or can it be a point of punctuation and a sign you need a reset? We also discuss paper planes, whether giraffes are good at maths, and feel grateful for footballers and trees. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

Delivering bad news is something most of us find difficult, so you might find these tips on how to do it successfully quite useful. We also explore the dangers of having an Only Fans account if you work in education, hear about a missing giraffe, and complain about World Cup kick off times. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're talking about what happens when you allow your care for other people's emotional wellbeing to overshadow the need to take proper care of yourself. There's also a lot of clothing related content, for some reason. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week we're talking about how to avoid unhelpful and disrespectful remarks to people in recovery, many of which say more about the person asking than they do about whoever happens to be the object of their enquiry. A buffalo receives a reprieve due to his resemblance to a US president, and a wheelchair user gets an unwelcome shock, almost literally. I got the title of the episode wrong in my recorded introduction so, sorry about that if you feel you've been misled. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're talking about how some of us make less effort when we think our contribution won't be noticed. A man turns up in A&E with an unexploded bomb stuck in an unusual place, we discuss strange eating habits, and Martin gets a bit annoyed both about the sound quality of his recording and the way that tunes of hymns change when he is least expecting it https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week we're discussing the modern dating phenomenon that involved sudden revulsion at someone with whom you had been experiencing a romantic spark. I offer some theories about why it might have more to do with you than you realise. We both remember disappointment at a fancy dress competition, reminisce about the Caroline roadshows of the 80s and, after a strong start, I disappoint again in the lyric quiz. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're discussing the benefits of physical touch, and why it can be such a useful component of recovery and good mental health more generally. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're talking about getting lost easily and how it can lead to unfair and painful levels of criticism. A woman employs a counterintuitive way to address her debilitating anxiety, and I get angry about hot cross buns. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're talking about a less well-known  form of body dysmorphia. A man wakes up coloured blue and can't understand why, and there are despicable practices at the camel pageant.   https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week we're talking about the components that help us get the most from our lives. A woman becomes unbelievably wealthy when buying a cup of coffee, there's underwear that measures 'flatus', I get the ick about something I can't recall, and there's more gratitude than you can shake a stick at. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're trying to explain why so many people remain addicted to drink and drugs even when they can see how much damage it's doing. A professional fighter gets his hair punched off, I witness a live drug deal whilst walking home from the shops, we display a pathetic level of knowledge about American sport, and wonder if the best place to find love might be along the aisles of a supermarket. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.

This week, we're talking about kindness, how to demonstrate more of it and what it feels like when we do. We're recording on the first day of February which reminds of of violent traditions from childhood, and Martin has a story about physical assault with an unusual weapon. We're back in our traditional roles this week which, in my case, inevitably includes a predictably poor performance on the lyric quiz. https://www.grahamlandiwellbeing.co.uk/ https://grahamlandi.substack.com/ You can email us at [email protected] Thanks again for listening, we really appreciate it.
