We try to tackle these huge 3 topics that are currently dominating our life stuck in Treviso, Italy but luckily in our loving home where we try to expand the borders of creativity and we finally managed to find the mental power of fully talking about how our life is here under quarantine, in a laughing manner. Trust me we do take it very seriously but we still try to carry a positive attitude in our life and hope to bring you some of it too. Enjoy x

We talk about being far from home, and having to create a new identity when you step in to the rugby world with our loved ones. What describes you? What is the first thing you say to people when you enter a new environment? There are many laughs and then some serious past digging with looking at the conflicts in our lives that made us who were are today!

-There is no specific time or way to go through a loss. It is a very fragile time for everyone and there is no right or wrong of it. -Instead of telling you how to grieve correctly, this episode talks about the stages of grieving and telling you: YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS. -Even if you are not grieving this will help you support a friend in the time of need. .For the loving Bryant Family, with all my love and respect.

Episode 2. Grieving and Acceptance of a Loss

Episode 1. Being alone isn't being lonely

Right mind is a chilled psychology podcast that started out as an initiative and now is on its way of becoming chilled therapy sessions for every one . Carried out by a neuroscientist Benan and her husband, the international rugby player Tommaso Allan, it tackles and talks about many things from loneliness, partner and relationship issues, self-confidence problems, stress management and anything you can imagine in our daily life to be a stigma to talk about! There will be many guests and interviews with athletes, athlete family members and many inspiring people who are taking a step forward for the mental awareness and speaking their minds. When sport psychology was first introduced, the approach taken forgot something very important: athlete’s families and their issues. We will be tackling them all!
