The Benefits of Continuous Learning 📚

Before starting on my learning journey I had no idea of the benefits, I just assumed I would do it, learn something new, expand existing knowledge etc. but I had no of the mental benefits! 🧠

📘 Keeps your brain healthy - Strengthens neural pathways and reduces risk of cognitive decline.
📕 Boosts adaptability - Helps you adjust to change and thrive in new environments.
📗 Builds confidence - Gives sense of achievement and self belief
📙 Improves wellbeing - Gives purpose, reduces stress and strengthens social connection

I can honestly say I never expected the majority of these benefits, I started with an interest in a topic and now I'm consciously seeking new learning opportunities to strengthen my mental wellbeing. 💪

3 courses completed so far with another one due to start in September! 🎓

✅ Level 2 Counselling
✅ Level 2 MHFA in the workplace
✅ Level 3 Training & Education
🔜 Level 2 Children & Young Peoples Mental Health

What is Prolonged Grief? 🤔

Grief is a natural response to loss. But for about 1 in 10 people, the pain remains intense for a long time - lasting over 12 months in adults and 6 months in children. It can make daily life feel impossible. 😩

This is called Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD).

Signs may include:
💙Persistent longing for the person who died
💙Intense emotional pain (sadness, guilt, anger)
💙Feeling life is meaningless without them
💙Difficulty moving forward

You are not alone!

Support-through counselling, support groups, therapy, etc. Is available and can help you cope and heal. 🤗

I have posted some links in the comments below, if you are aware of any others make sure to comment and share the support, you never know who may need it 🤝

This gets me every time! 💙

They say you can’t take it with you… but you can bring stories, laughter, and a little hope with you here. 💙

If you’ve ever laughed through tears, told a memory so many times it became a family legend, or wondered how to keep your loved one’s spirit alive in everyday life… this podcast is for you.

🎙️ We talk grief, we talk hope, and yes—we even talk about the awkward moments that happen at funerals (you know the ones).

💬 Follow me for heartfelt chats, gentle humor, and maybe that reminder you needed today that love doesn’t end when someone’s gone.

Drop your favorite memory of someone you’ve lost in the comments—let’s make this thread a little tribute wall of joy. 🌟

I had a dream!! 🤯

Well, 2 dreams in as many days! Saturday and Sunday I had dreams, dreams I can remember!!! I can remember only 1 other dream since Taylor passed and that was me having a charity boxing match with Brock Lesnar. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have had a couple other "dreams" but I can't recall what they were, I just woke up knowing I had a dream but couldn't remember anything about them. I can't express how much I've missed dreaming though! Any dream would do, I'd even take on Brock again (I'd let him win this time). 👊

This for me is just a sign of healing. Dreams are huge for me and being able to dream just shows that I'm heading in the right direction. ➡️

It got me thinking of other signs I may have missed, these are a few I've noticed thinking back over the past couple weeks:

✅️ - More productive
✅️ - Actively learning and expanding knowledge
✅️ - More active
✅️ - Sense of taking control of my life again
✅️ - Confidence is growing
✅️ - Started to focus on better nutrition

These are all things I've done subconsciously, I haven't felt pressured to progress in anyway its just started to come naturally since I've started the podcast. It's genuinely helped me heal by talking about my journey and more importantly, by reflecting on my progress so far! 🎙
