Ep. 5 - with Oliver Chittenden, Head Talks - a podcast by Amelia Rope

Oliver’s story about how he came to found Head Talks (www.headtalks.com) (@headtalksnews) is an incredible one.  One where he was taken to his inner most sanctum and resilience stretched until it almost snapped.  But it didn’t.  And to explain this you really need to listen to Oliver’s story in his own words. 

‘I was young, I was 27. I was fearless, I was ready to conquer the world. I just got hit by these waves of anxiety, and I just didn't know what it was. Anyway, that led to a spiraling of drugs and alcohol. I call it my year on the run. I basically was running from the problem, and I actually ended up in Australia and being picked off a pavement and flown back to a treatment centre in London’.

Oliver is so honest, so open and shares a lot of gems around the importance of mental health, how we can nurture it and to take heed when it is telling us it needs r and r.  

Our chocolate sojourn is with a rather chewy sweet with a chocolate centre … so you can imagine the challenges we face to continue chewing and chatting! 

Oliver shares where he has had to have hope and remember patience and what he thinks the next well-being trend will be.
