How Do You Mind – A Podcast

Many people who know me, know that I’ve been wanting to start a podcast for a long time, but didn’t have the confidence to do so. After several months of being stuck in the flat due to lockdown I had a good long think and decided that confidence will come as I start actually recording the podcast. That’s how How Do You Mind came to be. I have even signed up to a Radio and Podcasting course at my local college in order to help improve my skills as a podcaster.

What Is How Do You Mind?

How do you mind is a podcast about mental health, self-care and wellbeing. I intend to interview guests and hear their stories about mental health, their tips for self-care and wellbeing and generally have a good chat with them. If you want to find out more, you can listen to my introductory episode below.

I decided to make it a mental health based podcast due to mental health affecting us all in different ways at different times of our lives. I feel that if someone hears a relatable mental health story and hears things they hadn’t thought to do about it, they will feel more confident and happy to talk to their friends, doctors or therapists.

Episode 013 – Body Image – How Do You Mind

In this episode, Jodie discusses body image with her guests. How are we affected, at what age are we exposed to body image ideals and how can we feel more comfortable in our own skin.
