Are you tired of watching chaos win while the things that matter slide? You need to get out of your own way… and in this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I show you how to get out of your own way — practically and kindly. We’ll use simple calmer mindset techniques, and focus on practical productivity for mental health, to stop self-sabotage, overcome avoidance and procrastination, and reduce stress and anxiety. I’ll walk you through how to set boundaries kindly with assertive communication examples, plus identity-based behaviour change and ways to design your environment for better habits so doing the helpful thing becomes easier than doing the unhelpful thing. If you want a calmer mind and you’re keen to beat burnout with small changes, this episode is for you. You’ll leave with simple actions you can try today and an effective plan for better mental health that you can actually keep.


👉 Ready to reduce stress and act on what matters? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: Want a more peaceful life? Get out of your own way so calm replaces chaos, and making progress becomes the norm. 🙂
