The Paradox of Change (inspiring people to talk)
"Welcome to 'The Paradox of Change', the only podcast and YouTube channel where we embrace the irony that to really change, you've first got to accept yourself, as you are! It's like telling a chameleon to stay green in a disco – good luck with that!
Join us as we dive into the wonderfully wobbly world of mental health with a lineup of therapists, practitioners, entrepreneurs, and even clients, who talk more than your Aunt Linda at a family reunion.
We’re not just chatting about the weather here; we’re digging deep into different modalities and perspectives on mental health. Let's face it, sometimes the mind is more tangled than headphones in your pocket.
We also bring in guests who've surfed the tidal waves of their mental health journeys. They're here to share, not just their Spotify playlists, but their stories of struggles, triumphs, and that one time they cried in a yoga class - we've all dont it, yeah?
It's inspiration, support, connecting the right people, to the right people, or at worse maybe a little bit of therapy, for your ears
Tune in, turn up, and let's talk! Because as we all know, change happens when we accept ourselves... even if 'ourselves' is someone who can't decide what to have for dinner. Let's embrace the paradox, one episode at a time!"
