Aaron 💚

Trigger warning: this episode mentions themes surrounding suicide, along with other mental health struggles. Please listen with care. Hello you lovely people, welcome to another episode of - you guessed it - The Conn'Cast Podcast! You will notice the new Conn'Cast logo in the backdrop - this was hand crafted and painted by no other than @room27ipd - thank you so much for this! Not to also mention the new microphones. :) In this episode, we are joined by my life long and very good friend, Aaron Scanlan, or as some may also know him as @caringwithcolours - Aaron discusses his mental health in quite a lot of detail, firstly speaking of his early life and more specifically experiences with my brother Conn, and how much Connor meant to him and still does. We then also discuss Aaron's diagnosis of PTSD as well as epilepsy in 2012, as well as dealing with loss through miscarriage as well as relationships later on in life. However, even through all of this, Aaron has managed to really flip this around and put a positive stance on things through his charity work with Caring With Colours, which I for one am SO proud of him for doing - please do listen in if you want to hear more on this, and hopefully you'll feel inspired by his story, as I certainly am after hearing it first hand! To Aaron - thank you SO much for coming onto the show! It was so lovely to have a catchup, I know Conn would've loved the fact you came on, it really means a lot. I'm looking forward to maybe collaborating on more things down the line ;) I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL week ahead 🫶 Photography (and studio!) also courtesy of @room27ipd :) As discussed, here's a link to Sands: https://www.sands.org.uk/ And Aaron's (Caring With Colours) social links! 👇 Instagram: @caringwithcolours TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@caring_with_colours Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/d4hTstNcwyap5KYN/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Merch: https://caring-with-colours.creator-spring.com

Life as a Neurodivergent - With Finn Tumber

Hello people, and welcome to another episode of The Conn'Cast Podcast! This is one you've all been waiting for (and repeatedly asking for!) Co-host Cameron Ralph has kindly taken the hot seat as host in this episode to have an honest chat between two friends as we discuss our mental health and struggles throughout our lives. I myself (Finn), open up about about my ASD and ADHD diagnosis at the age of around 4, and how this has shaped me as a person and affected my mental health throughout my life. It feels like such a weight has been lifted off of me by opening up about this so publicly, so this episode is definitely one that means a lot to me personally! Myself and Cam then both open up about some struggles we have had in general throughout our lives, and also a few techniques we both use to better our mental health - hopefully you guys find something in this episode that proves useful to you, so definitely stay until the end! I hope everyone has an AMAZING week ahead! 💚

Anthony 💚

Hello everyone, and welcome to ANOTHER episode of The Conn'Cast Podcast! In this week's episode, we are joined by Anthony, who discusses his mental health and how he initially was a sceptic of mental health, a stance which changed as events happened in his life, and how he managed to deal with this! He also discusses some really good ways to deal with your mental health (ones that I will definitely be using myself!) so definitely watch/listen to the end, and hopefully some of these techniques will also help you in your everyday life. Thank you so much Anthony for coming onto the show! It was great to also have a catchup with you after all these years, Conn would've been so proud of you for coming on and being so open about your mental health, as am I! 💚 As discussed, here is a link to Mentalk health Sittingbourne - a free mental health group that Anthony attended focused and committed to help men struggling with their mental health. www.mentalk-health.org I hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead! 💚
