In Part 2, our host dives deeper into the realities of working within the mental health sector, exploring the long-term effects of stress, emotional exhaustion, and burnout. Our guests share more of their personal experiences, discussing the challenges of supporting others while managing their own wellbeing and the importance of recognising when it’s time to seek support themselves.

This time, we take a slightly lighter approach to the conversation, giving our Akinyi and Ann the chance to show a different side of themselves. Alongside discussions about mental health and wellbeing, we ask a range of fun and personal questions, including their favourite TV shows, books, hobbies, and other interests that help them relax and unwind outside of work.

The conversation also looks at resilience, self-care strategies, workplace culture, and how organisations can better support the mental health of those on the front lines of care. Through honest reflections, professional insight, and a few lighter moments, this episode highlights the importance of balance, connection, and taking time for yourself.
