If you missed it or couldn't make it here's the one you've been waiting for... it's The Stress Sessions LIVE SHOW with an audience. Recorded at MK Gallery on Friday 22 September 2024, I spoke to award-winning comedian Rich Wilson and BAFTA & NTA-winning Traitor, Will Webster about their mental health journeys. There's also a special performance from talented singer, songwriter and poet, Eddie Brett. It's pretty special, so grab yourself a beverage and strap in!

Hey hey! You're listening to Episode Two of Series Two of The Stress Sessions. This week's guest is Milton Keynes food & lifestyle blogger, Sophie Etc!
It was really interesting to chat to Sophie about the growth of her AMAZING blog, which identifies all of the best independent food and drink (and others!) in and around the Milton Keynes region, alongside her history of panic attacks, anxiety, and the ethos of working towards something that is within your control and that you can achieve.

She also gave me some pretty helpful tips of that transition period (if you're working from home) between work and evening.
So, here's The Stress Sessions with Sophie Etc!
If you enjoy this episode or any of the others, please share with friends, family, or anyone who you think they may help.
Thank you x

On a side note, I'm not a professional in this field, nor do I claim to be. These podcasts are purely based on my own, personal experiences, and those of my guests, alongside some simple hints and tips along the way.
If you are suffering from a mental illness, there are lots of amazing charities that will be able to help you by offering professional advice. You'll be able to find these here.
