  • Teeth and tongue: the power of storytelling with Ese Ne Tekyerema
    2023/12/18

    This month we take a deep dive into the story of chocolate, hearing the lived experience voices behind one of our favourite foods of the festive season.


    Our guests Adelle and Nana-Essi from EnT Foundation (Ese ne Tekyerema - the 'teeth and tongue') teach us about the power of storytelling, challenging the hierarchies of western-centred knowledge systems, and the ways we can re-frame mindfulness practices to encompass a 'glocal' (global-local) way of thinking about mental wellbeing.


    If you have a piece of chocolate available - keep it close by - but don't unwrap it yet! Our guests will let you know the right moment as they take you through the 'KoKoo Mindfulness' mindful eating practice.

  • The Big Swim with Nikki Stocks
    2023/08/28

    Originally broadcast on 28/8/2023 on Phoenix FM 96.7.

    Healthy Minds Radio takes a trip to Todmorden Sports Centre to talk to Nikki Stocks, a long time member of the Healthy Minds community and fundraising extraordinaire!

    Nikki has been a victim of flooding in the Upper Calder Valley, causing her to struggle with stress and anxiety. While looking for strategies to support her mental health, Nikki found swimming helped to bring her into balance.

    After benefitting from being involved in Healthy Minds services in Todmorden, Nikki found herself wanting to give something back to the charity, and the idea of a sponsored swim emerged...

    On this episode of the show, we chat to Nikki and other guests about the upcoming Big Swim - a Calderdale-wide sponsored swim, inspired by Nikki's story, happening on Sunday 1st October 2023.

    If YOU want to take the plunge and take part in the Big Swim to raise funds for Healthy Minds, visit: https://www.healthymindscalderdale.co.uk/the-big-swim.html
