#139 Pt 1 – Mental Post-It Notes: Random Websites, Positive Communities & Going To Therapy For Depression With Ria Carrogan

Ria Carrogan: the new passionate podcasting extraordinaire is the guest this week and the 2-part conversation bounces between a huge range of topics including coping with depression, random questions (including favourite types of ice), mindset and so much more – a conversation covering couple of darker topics, intertwined with humour & somewhat cheery optimism!

In part 1, their conversation starts with how Ria first listened to podcasts, before talking about if Ria & Mike would rather lose their sight or hearing and the weird & wonderful websites that Ria’s husband has made including Ria’s Questions. Ria then opens up about her post-natal depression and how therapy helped her, before they delve into communication, mental post-it notes and positive nerdy online communities & civil discussion.

It’s time for motivation! This week Mike chats with Heather Vickery, a life coach and the host & creator of The Brave Files podcast, discussing her line of work, her podcast and a major self-realisation, as well as much more!

As well as the above, Ellen Degeneres is discussed, “white privilege” is brought up, as are the stigmas still surrounding non-hetereosexuality, the importance of presentation, how to get better results when communicating with people, how organisation is a key to being happy & free, how being different is a good thing, that admitting when you’re wrong is great for personal growth, gratitude journals and many other topics!

“Sex Is All About Communication” – GCC #15 Part 2 with Steph The Crab – Hobbies, Stigmas About Sex & Dude Where’s My Challenge

This week, Mike talks to the redheaded wonder “Steph The Crab”, about their passions and the amount of effort & commitment it takes to keep actively pursuing hobbies, they then delve into a fairly long discussion about sex, masturbation, stigmas surrounding sex (and talking about it), along with communication with partners, sexual confidence and even child development affecting sexuality (with a touch of Sigmund Freud’s ideas). They finish off by talking about Steph’s connections to the YouTube channel “Dude Where’s My Challenge”, described by Mike as “Jackass Of YouTube”!

Last week (in part 1), they get into what Steph does on YouTube and why she started it, some of the weird people they’ve encountered while working previous jobs, porn, sex & masturbation (including discussing if Louis Walsh fucked Donald Trump, so prudes beware!), reminiscing about their time at school, how bullying has affected them and much more!

The previous episode was about transgender issues, such as societal pressures, gender pronouns and getting triggered, so be sure to check that out too!
