The Wellbeing Matters Podcast with TP

I met with the lovely Lou today. I didn’t know Lou personally but we have a mutual friend who put us in contact with each other. Lou runs Moon on a Stick - she is a holistic therapist running her business in Swindon. But she is so much more than that. She has a beautiful energy and I am so privileged to have spent this time with her, discussing  not just her business, but what it’s like to be a parent carer, her part in ‘mums on a mission’ and what it was like growing up with an alcoholic mother. This is an extremely honest and moving account of Lou’s life.  A wonderful and inspiring woman. 

The wonderful Ami came onto The Wellbeing Matters podcast today! We talked about NLP (Neuro Linguistics Programming) Tapping, EBSNA (Emotional Based School Non Attendance) Hypnotherapy. And she has published a children’s book which is very close to her heart.  Ami talked about what school was like for her and what it was like getting a late diagnosis of Dyslexia and ADHD. Ami is phenomenal grab a drink and have a listen x

This morning on the Wellbeing Matters Podcast we had Becky Maddern & Abi Draycott from Teamability 
They talked all about their mission to give children (in schools) and adults (in businesses) a great understanding of disabilities and they are promoting this and inclusivity through assemblies and workshops. This is done throughout Swindon and the surrounding areas. Their work is so vital and so important so please do have a listen and you can find out why this is so close to their hearts. Love them both and so very proud of them.

A lovely chat with Lucy today! Lucy is a menopause coach and is helping to support women who are going through this. Lucy is looking for more women to support and create a community where women can also help and support each other.
Even if you aren’t going through this yet you will do, or you will know someone that is so these conversations are important to spread awareness.

A bit backward, I know, but this is an introduction into who I am and how I came to do the job that I do ! so explaining a bit about my background why I came into being a Drawing And Talking Practitioner and why I’ve set up this podcast! Thanks for listening!

Very honoured to have been able to spend time with the inspiring Danielle Brown-Kelly.
Over the past few years, Danielle has been supporting a growing number of families in Swindon whose children cannot safely access school due to unmet SEND needs, trauma, severe anxiety, autistic burnout and mental health crises. Including her own children 
Many of these children are recorded as ‘electively home educated’ even when education ended because school became unsafe, not because families chose it. When this happens, support disappears.
Danielle has now formally proposed a Safe Access to Education Framework, a safeguarding-led, multi-agency approach to ensure children who cannot safely attend school are not left without education, wellbeing support or pathways.
Danielle is leading the way for huge change. There are a lot of people onboard but more are needed. Even if this doesn’t affect you directly, please lean into this. Listen and support and let’s create positive changes to support our young people. 

I had the absolute pleasure of spending the afternoon with one of my very best friends Michelle Duffey! Therapist , SENCO and Special Needs Teacher with 20 years of experience.
Michelle has paid a pivotal role in getting me to where I am today career wise. We discuss all that Michelle can offer in order to support children, adults and families, why Michelle feels so passionately about her work. We talk about neurodivergence, the curriculum and what is needed, lockdown, academies that take over schools and the impact that has and where Michelle wants to go next in her role. Plus much more, so make yourself a cup of tea and sit down for 30 minutes because you are going to want to hear this ❤️
