If social media is stealing your peace of mind, it’s time to take it back! Reducing social media use, or quitting social media altogether, will transform your life and lead to better mental health… and in this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m talking about why (including why phone addiction is harmful) as well as how to quit social media, or at least reduce screen time to healthier levels.
We’ll discuss how cutting back on social media changes your mood and helps your brain, and what’s involved in deleting social media from your life (and yes, social media addiction is a thing and it’s harmful). From understanding what’s involved in a simple social media detox through to the attention traps behind social media platforms that are designed to turn you into profit, this is the episode that will help you take back control of your life from the algorithm so you can feel calmer and more in control.
And I promise you: quitting Instagram is not the end of the world (I did it and I survived!) 😁
Let’s Talk About Mental Health is your weekly dose of practical advice for better mental health, with Jeremy Godwin.
👉 Ready to explore what life without social media (or at least a lot less of it) can feel like? Then let’s talk!
💡 TL;DR: It’s time to take back your brain! In this episode we’ll talk about life without social media (or at least with a simple social media detox) and you’ll discover how quitting social media puts you back in control. 🙂

You shouldn’t need to have a breakdown to learn how not to break down. If you’re dealing with difficult times and barely holding it together, this episode is for you. If it’s ever felt like you may have a nervous breakdown (or if you’ve already had one), or if you’ve found yourself heading towards an emotional breakdown, then you’ll know the impact that struggling mentally and emotionally can have on your quality of life. So, let’s turn things around!
In this week’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m talking about the importance of protecting your peace and the role it plays in avoiding a breakdown by helping you start spotting the early warning signs. You’ll learn what’s involved in setting boundaries without guilt, and how to start using simple coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and burnout. I’ll show you how to strip life back to what matters, take small daily actions (one day at a time), and choose a steadier pace that actually supports your mental health.
👉 Ready to reduce stress and feel more in control? Then let’s talk!
💡 TL;DR: Learn to spot the signs early, set better boundaries, and take small steps that prevent burnout… because prevention is a lot better than recovery. 🙂

Your thoughts can either be your prison or your freedom; it’s all a matter of the mindset you choose. Your mindset shapes the reality you live in... but what if most of what you believe about yourself and your life is just a story you’ve been telling on repeat?
When you default to negative thoughts, or when your mindset is harsh, or panicked, everything feels a lot harder. But when the story you tell yourself is steadier and kinder, and you adopt a more positive mindset, that’s when you start to take back control: your stress levels drop, your choices improve, and you can finally feel like you’re moving forward.
In this week’s episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m sharing how to change the way you experience life by shifting your mindset. You’ll learn practical ways to reset unhelpful patterns, choose calmer perspectives, and create a healthier outlook you can actually live with. Because when you change your mindset, you change everything.
👉 Ready to change your life by changing your mindset? Then let’s talk!
💡 TL;DR: If your thoughts are running the show, it’s time to take back control… because when you change your mindset, you change your life. 🙂

Feeling like everything’s spiralling out of control, and you’re about to lose it? Desperation makes everything feel like an emergency… even when it’s not. That desperate energy sets your thoughts racing, your heart pounding, and suddenly you find you’re reacting instead of responding. But here’s the truth: feeling desperate doesn’t mean you’re broken or weak. It just means your nervous system is overloaded, and your brain is screaming for relief. So let’s explore what’s involved in overcoming desperation.
In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’ll break down what desperation really is, why it hijacks your thinking, and — most importantly — how to interrupt the spiral before it takes over. You’ll learn practical strategies to ground yourself, manage the panic, and respond with clarity instead of chaos.
If you’ve ever thought “I can’t take this anymore,” this one’s for you. Because you don’t need to escape that feeling; you just need to stop letting it control your next move.
👉 Ready to feel less desperate and more calm? Then let’s talk!
💡 TL;DR: When you feel desperate, it can seem like chaos is your only option; in this episode I’ll show you how to take back control before desperation sucks you under. 🙂

Still stuck in a past that hurts? This episode shows you how to let go… even if you’re not ready, and even if it still stings. We’ll explore why letting go is so hard — grief, identity, and the lure of ‘closure’ — and then we’ll get practical. You’ll learn to name what you’re holding, feel what you’ve avoided, interrupt the ‘if only’ loop, stop trying to ‘win’ the past, set small boundaries, and more. We’ll focus on choosing peace over rumination, putting your energy where you have control, and taking small and doable steps forward. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect apology, or a tidy ending, then this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast offers you another way; one that protects your peace, and helps you carry your story differently.
👉 Ready to let go, even when it’s tough? Then let’s talk!
💡 TL;DR: Still holding on to something? Learn how to finally let go and take your life back. 😃
