Soul Brew

"No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man." - HeraclitusAlmost three years ago, we started the Soul Brew Podcast. It was shortly after a period when the entire world came to a standstill due to COVID-19.A time that forced us to reevaluate many things, including our life choices. Around that time we began to openly explore where we were in life. Stephen, who had just completed his travels, was a very different man back then. In this podcast, we talk about life's changes, how it's okay to change opinions, and, to some degree, how it's necessary for growth. If we cling to the same narrative, we refuse to evolve, grow, and develop. This episode recaps Stephen's growth, development, and choices in life to date. It's a great conversation to have with friends and family to reflect on how much you've grown and developed over the past years. What has happened in your life since COVID-19?If you would like to support the podcast please Buy us a Coffee or check out our social media channels to purchase our new Coffee Tumblrs.Instagram: @soulbrewpodcastFacebook: @soulbrewpodcastTik Tok: @soulbrewpodcastTwitter: @soulrewpodcastEmail: soulbrewpodcast@gmail.com

Dr Sharon Lambert is a lecturer in the School of Applied Psychology in UCC. Sharon’s research interests revolve primarily around inclusion psychology/inclusion health in the areas of mental health, substance dependence, homelessness and trauma and consequent impacts on service design and delivery and is regularly published in peer-reviewed journals and delivers seminars. We discussed how podcasting has made mental health and wellbeing information more accessible and understandable for listeners and a new study has proved that they can in fact improve mental health literacy. The paper, published by Dr Lambert and Naoise Ó Caoilte from UCC, shows that access to information through podcasts has decreased stigma and increased help-seeking amongst listeners. We also talk about topics including stress, mental health, mens mental health, trauma and looking at change on the individual and societal level.If you want to support the podcast please Buy us a Coffee or check out our social media channels to purchase our new Coffee tumblrs.Join us for Movember and Grow a Mo!Instagram: @soulbrewpodcastFacebook: @soulbrewpodcastTik Tok: @soulbrewpodcastTwitter: @soulrewpodcastEmail: soulbrewpodcast@gmail.com
