Authors & Visual Artists - Power Of Listening And Mental Health

Exploring the power of listening: A personal and professional journey I’ve always believed in the immense power of understanding others. And I have seen, and do see on a daily basis, what happens if you do not try to understand someone. Both professionally and personally. From an early age, my life has been shaped by a passion for meeting people and offering them an open space to share their stories. That openness has been a guiding principle in both my personal and professional life. As someone who’s spent years writing over 10 novels and 18 poetry collections, alongside a successful career as an acrylic painter, I’ve always been driven by the human experience; our emotions, stories and struggles. Today, as a product designer, I bring that same passion for storytelling and empathy into my work every day, seeking & aspiring to create value that truly connect with people. But there’s a part of my story that has shaped my journey in ways I could never have imagined: my mental health. Struggling with my own challenges ever since I was 8 years old, I had my first therapy session that year, with a person who would become my wonderful hero, Reidar. At a very young age, Reidar taught me something that still sticks with me today: listening can save lives and make everyone feel understood. Now, I want to hear from you about your craft. Whether you’re a seasoned business owner or just starting out, I believe that everyone has a unique perspective that can offer valuable insights. I’m diving deep into understanding you through interviews, with the goal of amplifying your voice, your story and your journey. I want to create a space where you feel heard and valued, just as Reidar showed me all those years ago. Let’s connect. Let’s talk. I’d love to hear your business story and how we can all learn from one another.

Environmental Remediation Experts - Carbon Numbers & TPH

In this 44th episode, I discuss What Are Carbon Numbers and How Do They Relate to Environmental Remediation? Carbon Numbers refer to the number of Carbon Atoms in a particular molecule. The number of Carbon Atoms directly correlate to the weight of the molecule. This weight is used for identification of the substance which is also referred to as qualification and from that identification, the quantification or concentration of the substances can be determined. These things are important in determining the remediation methods to be used, the monitoring of those remediation efforts and the speed at which something needs to be addressed, based on it mobility and the like. In general, the less carbon atoms or lower Carbon Number is going to refer to a fuel like Gasoline with ranges from C6-12 (GRO), with medium number of carbon atoms with a mid range of between C10-28 (DRO) being heavier fuels like Diesel and then the heaviest having the most carbon atoms with ranges falling between C28-35 being Oils (ORO). And TOTAL Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) referring to the combination of these covering the entire Carbon Number range from C6-35 (TPH). "Thank You" for tuning in and to Our Ongoing Sponsor Hanby Environmental for the continued support of our podcast having a positive impact on The Environmental Remediation Industry!

UK Jurors - Post-Trial Mental Health Support

Is it time for permanent mental health support for jurors in the UK? \\Personal case study wanted for Sky News article\\ Full disclosure, I am a journalist looking to speak to people who have had therapy or actively tried to get professional help as a result of their jury service experience in the UK. Currently, jurors are told to contact their GP or the Samaritans 24-hour helpline if they feel they need to, but in most cases (particularly after the most traumatic) this is not enough. I have seen countless posts regarding the lack of support given to jurors and I want to try to and bring the discussion further into the public eye - and (over time) try to improve juror aftercare. This is now increasingly topical after David Lammy announced jury trials for crimes that carry a sentence of less than three years will be scrapped - meaning jurors will have a higher likelihood of having to sit on trials involving murder, abuse, sexual assault etc. Last year a total of 15 Crown Courts in England and Wales took part in a Ministry of Justice scheme where jurors were handed leaflets containing details of how they could access six free counselling sessions with specially trained clinicians provided by Vita Health Group, after the conclusion of a trial. The scheme was largely welcomed by the industry, including the BPS, but no longer-term action has been taken by the MOJ. I completely understand the sensitive nature of the topic, but I am looking for people willing to share their experience. This is not limited to a time frame, but would be particularly keen if you were one of the jurors who was offered free counselling as part of the government's trial from October to March last year. People can of course choose to be anonymous and no one would not be asked to reveal details of jury deliberations to comply with UK law. I am just interested in the following: How jury service made you feel What support you tried to get/got and where from What you think any future form of support for UK jurors should look like. Please do DM me if you are interested in speaking, or know someone who might be. Thank you :)

Physiotherapists & Researchers - Massage Benefits & Risks 50+ - AARP

STEP 1: I’m working on a piece about the benefits and drawbacks of different types of massage. I’d like to hear from physiotherapists and researchers (I’m all set on massage therapists, thanks!). STEP 2 (context): This piece will be about why different types of massage are beneficial (such as Swedish, deep-tissue, and Thai, which involves stretching), and what audiences (within the 50+ subset) would benefit from them. It will also touch on some things to look out for, such as only going with licensed massage therapists, avoiding strong pressure if you have certain health conditions, or skipping scented oils if you have sensitive skin. To get an idea of what AARP Health articles look like, check out the piece I wrote for them (which was published last week) about [url=https://substack.com/redirect/cd796b30-4aeb-4eb6-a4c1-342cb1d23917]Why Winter Nosebleeds Strike More Often After 50 - And How to Keep Them at Bay[/url]. STEP 3 (how to submit): To pitch me: I am only looking to hear from medical doctors and researchers, NOT product or brand reps. Please send a few sentences about why your expert is a good fit, and they can share a few sentences on the topic, but I will still need to interview them live over Zoom the first week of April. This super-detailed [url=https://substack.com/redirect/99ca8aaf-b0e2-4a2d-ab2f-1daa9f9e74a1]AARP Pitch Call Explainer[/url] focuses on travel, but it also offers many tips on the AARP audience (50s-60s), and it would be very helpful to read before pitching.

Adults With ADHD in South Africa - Diagnosis, Care & Inequality

Neurodiversity week article - journalist looking for sources or anyone who'd like to chat Hi there! I’m a South African journalist with ADHD working on a Neurodiversity Week piece examining ADHD and neurodivergence in practice — not just as a diagnosis, but as something shaped by access, cost, culture, and inequality across the globe. A lot of the conversation feels imported or overly clinical. I’m interested in what happens on the ground here: who gets diagnosed, who doesn’t, who can afford support, and what people are left to figure out on their own. If you’re open to sharing, I’d really value your perspective especially around: Diagnosis in SA: How long did it take? What did it cost? Public vs private? Were you taken seriously? Access to care: Medication, therapy, psychiatrists — what’s realistically available to you, and what isn’t? School / university / work: Where have systems failed you? Have you received accommodations, or had to mask/cope alone? Socioeconomic realities: How do finances, location, or medical aid (or lack of it) shape your experience? Cultural perception & stigma: How do family or community understand (or misunderstand) ADHD / neurodivergence? Day-to-day reality: What does it actually feel like living with it in South Africa? Workarounds: What have you had to build for yourself because formal support wasn’t there? You can comment here or DM me — I’m treating this as reporting, so: I’ll anonymise responses unless you explicitly say otherwise I won’t publish identifiable details without consent If you’re comfortable, please include your province/city. I’m trying to understand how experiences differ across the country. I’m especially interested in hearing from people outside major urban centres, or those navigating the public healthcare system. Even if you think your experience is “small” or typical — that’s often exactly what’s missing from the bigger picture.
