    1 Year Birthday Episode / 'Mental Health for All'

    1 Year Birthday Episode / 'Mental Health for All'

    Hello! Charley and Colin here. It's our podcast birthday! One year ago, we launched Brave Your Day - episode 1 with musician and composer Brian McAlpine. To celebrate our anniversary, we're looking back on two previous conversations with guests Ashton Applewhite and Ross Muir, and a discussion recorded during the initial COVID-19 lockdown on stamina. We're also exploring 'mental health for all' - the theme of this year's World Mental Health Day (10th October).

    New Perspectives / Braving the COVID-19 Lockdown

    A great awakening? In this week's episode, we're taking a bird's eye view at the present situation in an attempt to find new perspectives in our lives. The lockdown has provoked a degree of self-reflection in many people because we have been freed from so many distractions.
