Dealing with extreme life events

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

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

We’ve been hearing about climate change for decades but recently it’s come to our attention that it’s affecting us in more ways than just the environmental impact. So, we thought we’d take a slightly different angle and focus on how it’s affecting us and not the planet.

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

Mark Bisson, Sanctus Coach and author of the children's book 'George: The Cat Who Lost His Confidence', talks about the story behind his book that led to a realisation that the latest generation, Generation Alpha, is potentially heading for a future of disconnection, anxiety and depression as well as his personal experience being a parent and grandfather.

The Kids Who Lost Their Confidence

Our body can’t tell the difference between a sabre tooth tiger and an oncoming deadline, so how else can we learn from it to tell us about the anxiety we’re feeling and what it means?

Feeling Anxiety In Your Body

What’s the bigger picture behind procrastination and how it’s impacting your mental health? James chats with creatives Scott & Valentina about their experiences around avoiding the bigger picture.

Procrastination & Avoidance

Nights out are engrained in our culture and is one of the main ways our country finds connection with one another - however they achieve that. But is going ‘out out’ doing us more harm than good?

Going Out Out

James and Sophie sit down to talk through Sanctus coach Kevin’s lifelong journey where almost every event, from his career to coming out, was underpinned by social anxiety.

Social Anxiety

With Sanctus based in the heart of one of the loneliest cities in the world, it begs the question - why are we feeling so lonely?

One of the biggest challenges we face as a society is the rising statistics around suicide, James chats to Sanctus coach Helen McMillan and one of the founders of 'Mike's Mates', Amanda Scott.

Demystifying Suicide

It’s getting a tad steamy as we open up the conversation on how sex and sexuality play into our mental health.

Let's talk about sex

Sanctus Coach Agnieszka Walczuk chats about how she has dealt with a range of body image issues in her life and how she has come to embrace a new attitude.

Body Image

Whether you’re thinking of taking a break from booze or you’re battling a hard addiction, George & James welcome on Brad McCaw to talk about his experiences being an alcoholic, what he has learnt about himself going into recovery and how you can recognise and deal with your own addictions.

Addiction

Recently, we announced for our fiftieth episode we were going to have a few Sanctus coaching sessions on the podcast itself. But it didn’t go exactly as planned. James and George have a catch-up and explore what happened and why it was harder than we thought.

Where we went wrong

Despite our careers being one of the most impactful elements of our life, in regards to our mental health, do you ever really take into consideration when looking for a new job, finding out what you want to do or judging whether a workplace is right for you? George chats with Sanctus head coach Ben and Head of Operations Vic Lloyd about their journeys into finding a suitable, mentally healthy career.

Finding a job that’s good for your mental health
