In this episode Becks sits down with Gerard Vaughan from Farmstrong. Gerard is Farmstrong’s programme director and he helped design and establish the programme in 2015 . He now oversees its research and education initiatives and is passionate about turning the science of wellbeing into practical tools and resources for busy farmers.
Farmstrong is a nationwide wellbeing programme for the rural community with the aim of supporting farmers to “live well to farm well” and in this episode Gerard shares with us why looking after your mental wellbeing is not a positive for you, but also a positive for your business! We dig deep into the research but also the practical experiences of farmers, so this episode is full of great stories and takeaway tips.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
