Tickety Boo - Exploring Mental Health with Care and Compassion

82 - Peace, Priorities, and Patterns: What Do You Really Want This Year?

In this Tickety Boo card-pull episode, we had no clue where the conversation would go… Until we pulled the question: "What's your top priority for the rest of the year?" What followed was a raw, honest chat about the deeper stuff most people avoid: 🔁 The patterns we keep repeating ⚖️ Wanting more balance, but not knowing how 🌊 Why peace is so hard to choose when chaos feels familiar 💭 And the difference between setting goals… and setting yourself free No plans. No scripts. Just three people figuring it out in real time. If your head's been noisy and you're craving some space to reflect this one's for you. Because maybe your priorities aren't broken… maybe you're just burned out. 🎧 New episode every week — follow and listen now: 📲 Instagram: @pieceofminduk [https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk] 📲 Facebook: Piece of Mind UK [https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK] 🌍 Website: www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast [http://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch the full video episode on YouTube: @pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

81 - Why Doing Nothing Might Be the Most Important Thing You Do

We've been sold the lie that if we're not hustling, we're failing. But what if the thing you really need… is to do nothing? In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian, and Iona explore the underrated power of doing absolutely sod all. We're talking: 🛋️ Active rest vs passive collapse 🧠 Why your brain needs quiet to make sense of life ⌛ The tiny moments you overlook but desperately need 😵‍💫 And why it's so hard to stop even when you're exhausted This isn't about productivity hacks. It's about protecting your peace before burnout makes the choice for you. Whether you're a chronic overthinker, always-on helper, or just someone who's forgotten how to be… this one's your permission slip to slow down, switch off, and stop apologising for it. 🎧 New episodes every week — real, raw, and relatable.

80 - Let's Talk About What We Pretend Isn't Bothering Us

This one's for the stuff you usually brush off with "I'm fine." The things that keep you up at night but never make it into a group chat. In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona open the lid on the thoughts we all carry but rarely say out loud the quiet disappointments, the secret fears, the small betrayals we pretend don't hurt. We dive into: * Why we pretend things don't bother us (even when they do) * The stories we tell ourselves to avoid awkward truths * How silence keeps us stuck * And why speaking it out loud might be the first real step toward change No scripts, no performance just real talk.

79 - I Don't Think I Know How to Relax (And I'm Tired of Pretending I Do)

Some of us aren't just tired — we're wired. Not because we don't want rest, but because we genuinely don't know how to. In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona talk about what no one really teaches us: how to switch off without guilt, and how to actually rest without needing to earn it first. We dive into: * Why relaxing makes some of us feel anxious, lazy, or like we've done something wrong * How "rest" doesn't always mean lying on the sofa (and why active rest might suit you better) * The difference between collapse and recovery * And why rest isn't a reward — it's a requirement You don't have to burn out to deserve a break. You just need to stop outsourcing your peace to someday. 🎧 New episodes every week — honest, unfiltered, and painfully relatable.

78 - Why Knowing Something Isn't the Same as Accepting It

You can know it's over. Know it's unhealthy. Know it's not working. And still find your heart refusing to let go. In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona dive into that strange emotional limbo—when your brain has figured it out, but your heart hasn't caught up. We talk about the lag between logic and emotion, why self-protection makes us hold on longer than we should, and the grieving process that doesn't always begin with goodbye. 🔹 Why we revisit people, places, and memories we already know aren't right 🔹 How emotional attachment lingers long after we "know better" 🔹 Why letting go is less about strength and more about safety 🔹 And what to do when your head is saying move on but your heart still whispers maybe... If you've ever felt stuck in that space between knowing and accepting—you're not alone. This one might land a little deeper.
