94 - The Year I'd Rewind To (If Life Was a Movie)

If you could rewatch one year of your life like a film what would it be?

We talk about: * The childhood moments we'd love to revisit * How life taught us things too early, or missed teaching us what we needed * Why we tend to forget the good stuff and always feel like we're behind This one's honest, gentle, and full of real reflections on joy, loss, growth, and the years we carry with us whether we want to or not. It might just get you thinking about your year. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Follow for new episodes and updates: 📲 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 [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube: @pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

93 - Apparently I'm the Strong One… Who Signed Me Up for That? | Emotional Burnout, Being "The Reliable One" & Silent Pressure

Ever been told "you're so strong" and felt… nothing good about it? This episode of Tickety Boo is for the people who always cope. The ones everyone leans on. The ones who don't remember agreeing to be the strong one… but somehow became them anyway. We talk about: * How you end up as the reliable one in families, friendships, and relationships * The quiet pressure of being the one who holds it together * Why being "strong" often means you don't get asked how you are * Emotional burnout that hides behind competence * What happens when you're fed up of being the safe pair of hands This isn't about blaming anyone. It's about naming something a lot of people feel but don't say out loud. If you've ever thought: Why am I always the one coping? Why does everyone assume I'll be fine? What happens if I stop being strong? This episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Follow for new episodes and updates: 📲 Instagram: @pieceofminduk 📲 Facebook: Piece of Mind UK 🌍 Website: www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast [http://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube: @pieceofmindtherapy

92 - Why You Only Feel Worthy When You're Useful

Do you ever feel like your worth is measured by what you do for others rather than who you are? In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about the hidden pressure so many people carry: The belief that being helpful, needed, productive or constantly putting others first is the only way to feel valuable. We dig into: * Why doing things for everyone else feels safer than focusing on your own needs * Where this belief often comes from (spoiler: childhood conditioning, praise patterns, people pleasing) * How easy it is to lose your sense of identity when your worth is always tied to being useful If resting makes you feel guilty... If saying "no" makes you feel selfish… If you struggle to feel enough unless you're fixing, supporting, or giving… This episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Follow for new episodes and updates: 📲 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 [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube: @pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

91 - What's Really Stopping You? (The Fear of Being Judged)

How many times have you held yourself back not because you couldn't do something, but because you were scared of how it might look? In this episode, we get into the fear of being judged. The fear of standing out. Of taking a different path. Of showing people who you really are and risking the side-eyes, whispers, or silence. We talk about how this fear shows up like not saying what you really want to say, staying in jobs or relationships that don't fit anymore, or avoiding decisions just in case someone doesn't approve. The truth is, when you live your life trying to avoid judgment… You end up judging yourself even more. This is the episode for anyone who's done the mental gymnastics to keep other people comfortable at the cost of their own peace. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Follow for new episodes and updates: 📲 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 [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube: @pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]
