Whether we’re conscious of it or not, it’s at the back of all our minds.

You may not quite be at the front of an Extinction Rebellion march but there’s no doubt it can make us feel a bit more hopeless about the future of the planet.

After having a child, Charly Cox, a fully trained coach started becoming ever more conscious about the environment, so much so that she began eagerly looking for a change in goals to best help tackle the crisis. However it soon became apparent that she could have an impact in a similar role but focusing specifically on human behaviour. 

Whereas Sanctus Coach Amanda Devine started noticing climate change impacting her mental health after being diagnosed with cancer. But today, they both sit to, not only about their own mental health, but how we can engage in making this a uniting and not divisive topic.

You’ve heard of this little thing called ‘Climate Change’, right?

One third of people in the UK have done drugs in their lifetime... but why?

Let’s be honest here, people understand the risks of doing drugs and gain pleasure and connection from doing it. We’re not aiming to have a conversation to shame or show any judgement towards doing drugs.

Instead, we want to just talk about our experiences and insights into how drugs played into our mental health.

After sharing his experience online, George Bell (from Sanctus HQ) wanted to go into more depth than a 3 minute video so it seemed like a good opportunity to have a discussion with a coach with a slightly different experience with drugs, Sophie Miller. Only recently having taken drugs in recent years, Sophie hasn’t developed any negative relationship with a drug but has a refreshing attitude towards when and where she would do a drug.

Mental health, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll (minus the rock ‘n’ roll)

After we recorded this episode, it wasn’t easy to return back to a normal day for anyone involved. It’s safe to say this episode packs a lot of weight.

Several years ago, Ross Taylor, founder of Hidden, went on the “ultimate ski trip” where him and his friends saved for years to go on a heliskiing trip. However, on day one things took a turn for the worst as an avalanche hit and not all of his friends survived.

It hasn’t been an easy ride since for Ross in processing and working through that time, which he explores in the conversation.
