She now assists with the travel element for destination weddings and luxury honeymoons too.Her passion for travel helped her in the darkest of times when her eldest daughter passed away nearly 5 years ago and her son a year after that. It was then she discovered that child loss is a major taboo still and not spoken about.  She felt isolated and alone.  Those she told about it weren’t sure how to react. She realised something needed to change.  So she started a blog to help those also suffering to feel less alone and those who weren’t to be able to relate to friend or contacts better.  She has raised over £50k for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital for her daughter’s legacy. She reframed her loss to motivate and inspire her to push forward to achieve more for her children's’ legacy.  She is planning a charity and a podcast.

ManUp Series with Ben Calder - Looking at the Male and Female dynamic from an Integral View Point - EP 27

Ben Calder onMale and FemaleIntegral Dynamics
 
I am so please to have my good friend Ben Calder - Founder of Integral Health Shrewsbury, Life Force Qigong, Kinesiologist, Integral Relationships Facilitator, NLP Master Practitioner and all round great guy on the Man Up Series.Ben has his own story around relationships and we talk openly about the tools which have helped him navigate the world as a man and learn about relationships with self and others.Ben has been a font of knowledge and support to many including myself. When I was starting my practice Ben gave me a place to learn and connect through the Centre of Integral Health and I love Ben's openess, knowledge and eagerness to learn more about the human soul, spirit and body.I couldn't do this podcast without having him on as a guest.The founder of Integral Theory is contemporary American thinker and writer Ken Wilber who is often regarded as “the Einstein of consciousness” and some think his work is as much a game changer for the 21st century as Freud was for the 20th century in psychology or Einstein in physics.When Ben introduced me to his work it really helped with my practice as a Rapid Transformational Therapist. So it would be foolish not to look at the subject of relationships and male perceptions of self without including Integral theory.For those thinking this is heavy stuff it isn't, it does however allow you to understand that your are not on your own and we elevate through levels of conciousness on multiple planes.Sit back and relax. This is a listen if you want to understand that chattering voice and understand wwhy yoou are where you are.You can connect with Ben online:
Ben has been working professionally in complementary health and wellbeing since 2003 with an interest that stems back over 30 years, initially as a way of helping himself.
Ben uses an Integral approach to exploring health to ensure that any relevant aspects of mind/thought/emotion, body/behaviour/diet, relationships/culture and the impact of the environment are all considered when supporting wellbeing with his clients. He can then apply his multidisciplinary approach to help create a unique wellness path for each individual.
Ben has taught and lectured on many subjects of health including kinesiology, Bowen Technique, Qigong and Integral Theory and is the founder of the Centre for Integral Health in Shrewsbury UK.

Mental Health in UK Policing Lifting the Lid with Lobby Thornton - EP 25

Meet our GuestSteve (widely known as ‘Lobby’ - a proud Lancastrian) Thornton, is a retired Metropolitan Police Officer, having completed 30+ years, and has been working as a Civilian Senior Firearms Instructor for the last 5 years.Recent studies have shown that 1 in 4 Police Officers/Staff/Volunteers will experience mental illness and 1 in 5 will suffer from PTSD or Complex PTSD.
Steve like myself is on a mission to not just bring more awareness around this important issue but to ensure the frontline get the support they deserve.Steve says:“My passion is the wellbeing of my colleagues; serving and retired as well as the families behind them who are often overlooked when it comes to welfare support.”Starting as a Cadet in 1982, Lobby joined the job in 1983 and began working in busy Inner London before transferring to SO19, the Met’s Firearms Unit in 1995. He then worked as an Operational Firearms Officer and is a National Police Firearms Instructor.
Lobby is an experienced Post Incident Support Program Selected Instructor, a Welfare Coach for the Police Firearms Officers Association, an Ambassador for Police Care UK, a TRiM Manager, and a Founder member of the National Prevention of Police Suicides Group. Lobby is a very proactive and forthright Wellbeing Champion, working tirelessly on behalf of colleagues within the Met and elsewhere.Lobby like myself is keen to give the frontline the best care possible.
Lobby set up Trojan Wellbeing in 2020 as a result of ongoing work supporting both colleagues and their families experiencing difficulties. It is widely recognised that mental health support is not as helpful as it could be from many senior managers, and there is an ever-growing need for Mental Health First Aid training to recognise the symptoms; as well as learning about how to signpost those seeking help.
Trojan Wellbeing aims to provide MHFA trained officers throughout the forces, who will learn to proactively spot early warning signs and have the confidence to start a conversation with those who appear to be struggling. This in turn will create a wide-reaching peer support network and proactively supply support swiftly and accurately.
