Introducing the latest episode of Tackling it Together – “There's a Human, and There's a Being”, in conversation with Tom Hughes.After a long term, successful career in hospitality led to emotional burnout, Tom is now a Life Coach, supporting others in the industry to beat overwhelm and be more vulnerable, taking his experience and turning his passion in to purpose, by creating "Possibilities with Tom".This conversation gives us a completely open and honest account of hitting the wall and feeling unable to continue under incredible pressure, and how not having the skills to sit with feelings of difficulties, and never being taught how to cope had a significant impact on Tom's mental health. With complete transparency, Tom shares how he ignored all of the warning signs that he was struggling, instead choosing to self soothe in unhealthy and unhelpful ways, until he was in crisis. With reflections around the devastation of completely losing a sense of who he even was, Tom's message is clear - Don't pretend you're OK. Don't wait until you're at breaking point until you reach out for support. With brilliant, insightful conversations around challenging limiting beliefs, this episode is perfect for anybody in need of a reminder, that there is a human, and there is a being.A huge thank you to Tom for taking part! Your story will undoubtedly resonate with many, and your outlook will inspire many more.We continue to be very grateful to NTS and AW Shipping for sponsoring Tackling it Together.
