In the final episode of series two psychotherapist Jodie Cariss and music producer Owen Cutts talk about the power and importance of large and small changes in our lives. The guys discuss the inherent discomfort, joy and fear that comes with change and how we fight to control the outcome of the decision when preparing ourselves to take a leap!

In this week’s episode, psychotherapist Jodie Cariss and music producer Owen Cutts talk about how our childhoods impact our adult lives in ways we choose and also don’t choose. They share tips on how to break repeating patterns to enhance better mental health and highlight the importance of self-worth and how to celebrate ourselves more.

The guys take a leap into a deeply problematic, complex and sometimes overwhelming emotion in grief. Jodie clarifies that grief isn’t always exclusive to the loss of a loved one or a friend. Grief is a powerful human experience that can also attach itself to an item or a specific period in our lives.#ImOKThough #mentalhealth #mentalmaintenance #JointheStruggle #PodcastCommunity #managinggrief #dealingwithloss

What time do you go to bed? What time do you wake up? These are some of the basic rituals we all have.

In today’s episode psychotherapist Jodie Cariss and music producer Owen Cutts discuss the importance of building everyday routines to help us stay buoyant in difficult times and how the simple everyday things (like drinking water) can have a significantly positive impact on our mental health and how we feel. #ImOKThough #mentalhealth #mentalmaintenance #JointheStruggle #PodcastCommunity
