In todays special guest episode, we speak to Lockie, the co-founder of the 20 Talk Charity for Mental Health based in Perth WA.I think it goes without saying that our mental health and the way we take care of our mind is something we can all find challenging at times. It is a universal conversation that is so important to have now more than ever as it creates the foundation for the way we live our lives and our overall wellbeing.20Talk is a mental health charity that provides young adults aged 18-30 with the tools and skills to tackle life's challenges. Based out of Perth, Western Australia founders Leighton and Lockie believe in helping young adults take ownership of their mental health journey.After loosing best mates to suicide in their early 20s, Lockie and Leighton decided to do something about the lack of engageable wellbeing education available to 20yo's.We heard from hundreds of young adults that they felt there was a lot of great mental health information out there but it was out of touch, clunky and they didn’t know how to properly integrate all that information into their lives.That’s why 20Talk’s operational team is run by young people for young people. All of 20Talk’s comprehensive media and training programs focus on generational relevance, technological scalability and best practice learning integration.Personally, Lockie is very passionate about the growing attachment to phones and social media and wants to change the trajectory of where society is moving with relation to the hyper-connected world we live in. He's someone who struggles with saying no like most of us - but is learning how empowering it is to slow down, disconnect from technology and be present with ourselves in the world we inhabit. If something in this episode feels relatable or inspiring to you, please share it with a friend or a loved one. Talking about our mental health is vital and truly has the power to completely change someones life. Enjoy the episode x20 Talk Instagram: @20_talk

Together, we keep mindful living simple, achievable and most of all relatable for the ones who need a little more balance in their lives :)In todays episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Casey Weiss from all the way in Northern California. Casey is a certified holistic nutritionist and life coach who runs her own practice 'Your Case for Wellness' where she offers private and group coaching services.

Casey focuses on working with women who are ready to stop the yo-yo struggle and finally make peace with food and their bodies. She found that what was missing in the health coaching space were coaches and programs that emphasised the importance of mindset and holistic behaviours in tandem with food and exercise.She now coaches women all over the world on how they can truly feel their best from the inside out and stress less about food so they can live their lives to the fullest.In todays discussion we cover:- Caseys personal journey with body image, binge eating, yo-yoing and making unhealthy food choices- How to become consistent with our food choices and stop the yo-yo mentality- Key pieces of advice when it comes to eating to fuel our bodies in the right way- Mindset tools and behaviours that women can apply to help stress less about food and their bodies- How to create a healthy, strong and mindful relationship with our foodTo connect further with Casey:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourcaseforwellness/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/yourcaseforwellnessCASEYS FREE NUTRITION GUIDE: https://yourcaseforwellness.myflodesk.com/stopovereatingguideConnect with Claudia:Instagram @claudia_elkinTikTik @claudia.elkinYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@10_minutesaday
