The Wellbeing Matters Podcast with TP

Jun 5, 2026 Fran & Jeff Tucker - Best Mates

Today I was very honoured to have Jeff Tucker co-founder of Best Mates at my house to record the next episode on the podcast.
A simple concept but SO impactful. They are doing Stirling work. What a charity to be a part of.
Here is what Best Mates is all about ….
Having all been through tough times, it was apparent that seeking help with ease from readily available services was not as easy as it sounds. It takes courage, confidence, and knowhow to take those steps and that is of course if you know where to turn.So that is where we come in –
We continually recruit volunteers that we call “Mates” these are people who have ALL been through their own unique situations, people who have managed to navigate and seek the help they have needed to get their lives back on track.
When you reach out to us and tell us what you are going through we will then match you up with one of our “Mates” who will make contact and spend time to meet up or talk over the phone to allow a non-judgemental conversation, but full of understanding and information of what they did to pull themselves out of their situation.
They will be there to guide and support you and help to change your life for the better.
Have a listen …

May 22, 2026 Beauty Source & Wellbeing at the Barn

I had a fab time visiting Rachel and some of the other ladies at The Beauty Source and Wellbeing at the Barn today in Cricklade. Absolutely gorgeous setting and a place that I worked at for a while last year. There are so many women offering all types of wellbeing services and I was able to take some time to talk to 4 of them today about what they do and why they set up. 

May 8, 2026 Fran & Chris Limitless Balanced Life

I’ve been so excited to sit down with today’s guest Chris! Chris is a Systematic Kinesiologist*In short Chris is absolutely amazing at her job. Her extensive knowledge and passion for her work completely shine through and she deserves huge recognition for the work she does. 
Chris used to see a Kinesiologist herself when she struggled going through the menopause. When the NHS discharged her daughter due to them having exhausted all their options regarding her daughter’s bowel issues Chris turned to Kinesiology again to help her daughter. The results of these sessions were astounding. 
When their Kinesiologist moved away, Chris knew that she wanted to help other people in the way that her family was helped and supported. 
I IMPLORE you to listen to this episode because the work that Chris does is so important and it’s really fascinating learning about it. I am definitely going to have a few sessions.
I’m not going to say anymore but please do listen to the episode and follow Chris’s page.
