Tickety Boo - Exploring Mental Health with Care and Compassion

104 - The Parts of Me I Don't Let People See

We all have parts of ourselves we keep hidden. Not because we're trying to be fake… But because somewhere along the way, we learned it wasn't safe to show them. In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about the sides of us we hold back — the thoughts we don't say out loud, the feelings we brush off, the versions of ourselves we only show in certain rooms. We get into: * Why we filter who we are depending on who we're with * The fear of being judged, rejected, or misunderstood * How past experiences shape what we hide * And what it costs you when people only ever see the "safe" version of you Because the truth is… When you hide parts of yourself long enough, you can start to lose sight of who you actually are. This isn't about oversharing or telling everyone everything. It's about understanding what you've been holding back — and why. If you've ever felt like people don't fully know you… this one will land. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk [https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk] 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK [https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK] 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

103 - Why Is It So Hard to Just Be Content?

We say we want peace. We say we want to feel content. But we don't live like it. We stay busy. We chase more. We compare, scroll, strive… and fill every gap with noise. And somewhere in all of that, we drift further away from the very thing we say we want. In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about why being content feels so difficult — and whether the problem isn't life… but our inability to just be in it. We explore: * Why striving can quietly become a distraction * How comparison pulls you out of your own life * The discomfort of slowing down and doing less * And the question most people avoid: If everything stopped… would you feel okay? Maybe contentment isn't something you find. Maybe it's something you stop running from. If you've ever felt restless, fed up, or like you should be happier than you are — this one will hit. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk [https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk] 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK [https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK] 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

102 - Why Is It So Hard to Walk Away from a Toxic Friend? | Tickety Boo Podcast

You know it's not right. You feel it. But you still don't walk away. In this episode of Tickety Boo, we answer a question from one of our listeners: Why is it so hard to walk away from a toxic friend? And we don't sugarcoat it. We look at both sides: * When they are the problem * And when you might be part of the pattern too We talk about: * The unspoken "contracts" in friendships * How everything feels fine… until you stop complying * The fear of rejection, guilt, and being seen as the bad one * And how cancel culture can make walking away feel even heavier Because sometimes it's not just about them being toxic… It's about what you've been tolerating, adapting to, or afraid to lose. If you've ever felt stuck in a friendship that drains you but you can't quite let go — this one will land. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk [https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk] 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK [https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK] 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

101 - I Didn't Know How Sad I Was… Until I Felt Happy Again

You don't always realise how low you've been… until something shifts. Until you laugh properly again. Until your body feels lighter. Until a moment hits where you think, "Oh… this is what normal feels like." In this episode of Tickety Boo, we talk about that quiet, uncomfortable truth — that sometimes you don't know how sad, flat, or disconnected you were… until you come out the other side. We get into: * How low moods can slowly become your "normal" * Why you don't always notice you're struggling * The moment things lift — and what that shows you * And how easy it is to lose yourself without realising it This one isn't heavy for the sake of it. It's honest. Because sometimes the biggest wake-up call isn't hitting rock bottom… it's finally feeling okay again. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 🔗 Stay connected with Tickety Boo / Piece of Mind: 📲 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk [https://www.instagram.com/pieceofminduk] 📲 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK [https://www.facebook.com/PieceOfMindUK] 🌍 Podcast hub https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast [https://www.piece-of-mind.co.uk/podcast] 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy [https://www.youtube.com/@pieceofmindtherapy]

100 - Why Is It So Hard to Ask for Help?

🎉 Episode 100 of Tickety Boo — and fittingly, we didn't plan the topic. This one came from a random card pull, and the question we landed on was: "When do you have a hard time asking for help?" What starts as a simple question quickly turns into a really honest conversation about vulnerability, pride, and why so many of us wait until things hit crisis point before we finally reach out. We talk about: * Why asking for help feels so uncomfortable * The pressure to appear strong and "handle it yourself" * How pride, fear, and conditioning keep people silent * Why we often wait until things are falling apart before we open up It's reflective, personal, and exactly the kind of conversation Tickety Boo has always been about. If you've ever told yourself "I'll deal with it myself" this episode will probably resonate.
