What Makes You Happy? With Phil Oldershaw - Counsellor Convos

What Makes You Happy? With Phil Oldershaw - Counsellor Convos

What really makes us happy? In this episode of Counsellor Convos, Sheila McMahon sits down with broadcaster, DJ, MC and Birmingham Pride founder Phil Oldershaw for a powerful conversation about identity, belonging, friendship and the importance of genuine human connection. Phil shares how Birmingham has always drawn him back throughout his life and career, despite his love of travelling, meeting people and experiencing different cultures. From his years as a BRMB presenter to life behind the mic as a DJ and MC, connection has always been at the heart of what he does. Together, Sheila and Phil explore why socialising matters more than ever in today's world of homeworking and digital communication. Phil speaks passionately about the need for people to get out, meet others, build confidence and develop meaningful relationships — not just personally, but professionally too. He also discusses why business owners should actively encourage social interaction and relationship-building within the workplace to support wellbeing, confidence and stronger teams. As founder of Birmingham Pride, Phil reflects on the importance of community, visibility and creating spaces where people feel accepted, connected and free to be themselves. Hosted by counsellor and mental health champion Sheila McMahon, this episode is an uplifting reminder that happiness is often found through connection, conversation and community.

Keeping Emotionally Healthy Within Family Businesses with Simon Price

Keeping emotionally healthy within family businesses can be hard. But help is always available to those who ask. A bit of a different one for us today, folks - today we're talking with Simon Price of Arthur Price fame! Simon has deep roots within Birmingham and Lichfield and he has opened up to me about his multi generational business, the complex negotiations he faces week to week working with family, the hardships that he felt in childhood over a parental split, and the changing tides of conversations between parent and child. Thank you so so much, Simon. This was truly a fantastic episode to share with you. I feel I've learned so much about family businesses and the nuances that go into running and maintaining them and, as you say, when people feel they're struggling, they only need to ask for help. What a beautiful message, folks. I hope you take as much away from this conversation as I did and, remember, together we truly DO make a difference. Just a reminder also that my latest book, Behind Closed Doors, has almost sold out entirely of it's first print run!

The Mind Body Connection with Wendy Hill

Wow, today folks we're speaking with Wendy Hill and, what can I say except again, WOW! I've spoken many times with Wendy over the years and each time gives me something new and valuable and, being a mental health champion, I would be doing us ALL a disservice by ignoring just how much our body, our fuel, and our rest and digest system affects our mood, mind, and mobility. Wendy is a fountain of knowledge and experience, and It's truly lovely from one health advisor to another to see just how much mental health is considered by all. Wendy talks deeply about how we can fuel ourselves easily for a better set up day, how we often leave our health on the back burner until it's the only thing we can think of, and how we should look after ourselves as we've only got one body and one mind so, as always, let's treat it with love and respect and take care of it so that it can take care of us. Thank you so much for your time, Wendy. Wendy is a wonderful person to connect with, and if you'd like to do so you can find her on her website here: https://hillstart.me.uk [https://hillstart.me.uk] For more information on my practice then visit my website: https://www.mindmanagementforyou.com [https://www.mindmanagementforyou.com] Together we make a difference.
