The MYH Podcast – Mental Health in Construction

This week’s checkin is a little different, instead of work and long drives, it’s been all about family. I’ve had the boys with me all week and we’ve packed in bike rides, camping (even if it was just outside the flat!), football, laughs, and plenty of food stops.It’s been a busy one in a whole new way, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I talk about the highs and challenges of being a dad, what I’ve been learning about myself through therapy, and why this week has felt like real progress.Plus, I’m introducing a new feature: my Song of the Week. This time it’s Killeagh by Kingfishr which you can also find on the brand-new Weekly Check-in playlist on Spotify.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3lRUKZIHVaFRUyIL5QEuTY?si=cb3e4fb3d7d84be4Thanks for listening and for your continued support ,enjoy the episode and don’t forget to share how your week has been too!you can send your questions in to Askmyhpodcast@gmail.com it would be great to hear from you! #MYHPodcast #WeeklyCheckIn #FamilyTime #ConstructionCommunity #ParentingJourney #Fatherhood #QualityTime #WorkLifeBalance #TherapyJourney #MentalHealthInConstruction #PositiveParenting #BikingAdventures #CampingLife #MentalHealthAwareness #LetsGetTalkin

Episode 2 – Weekly Check-In | Gardening, Therapy & PuncturesIn this solo episode of The MYHP Weekly Check-In, I’m catching you up on everything that’s gone on this week – from road trips and Rachel’s birthday to gardening, therapy, and a whole load of bike punctures.I talk about how gardening has become a big part of slowing down and finding balance in my life, why I sometimes struggle to see progress in my work now compared to my bricklaying days, and how therapy continues to help me make sense of things.I also share a moment of realisation from a recent session, and why I’m taking a short break to reflect and rebuild.There’s some frustration too – like Thursday being a write-off after audio issues with the main podcast edit, but getting out on the bike helped turn things around.Thanks for all your continued support and feedback – it means the world.If you’ve got a question or a topic you'd like me to talk about, email me at askmyhpodcast@gmail.com📸 Head to Instagram @myhpodcast to see the photos from this week’s episode.🚴 follow me on strava https://www.strava.com/athletes/866911🎧 No clips from this one – it’s all about quick, on-the-go recording.Hope you’ve had a good week – enjoy your weekend, and I’ll speak to you soon!#MYHPodcast #MentalHealthInConstruction #WeeklyCheckIn #MensMentalHealth #GardeningForWellbeing #TherapyJourney #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionLife #RealTalk #SelfReflection #LifeOnTheMove #UKPodcasts #SoloPodcast #MindsetMatters #letsgettalkin#ConstructionCommunity #OnTheTrowel #LifeAfterTheTools #WellbeingAtWork #SupportTheTrades #MentalHealthAwarenessUK #BlueCollarWellbeing
