The Conversations We Dread: From Workplace Tensions to Family Interference with Dr. Ashleigh Moreland (Part 2)

What if your body could tell you everything you need to know about your anxiety — if only you knew how to listen? In this powerful first part of their conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson sits down with neurophysiologist and trauma-informed therapist Dr. Ashleigh Moreland to unpack what it really means to feel safe in your body again.

They talk about the difference between the mind and the brain, why anxiety so often shows up as physical symptoms, and how early life experiences can shape the way we respond to stress. Ashleigh shares her own story of parenting through anxiety, explains how somatic awareness helps us come back to the present moment, and reveals why “fixing the wiring” matters more than constantly “putting out fires.”

If you’ve ever been told “there’s nothing wrong with you” when your body says otherwise, this conversation will make you feel seen, understood, and full of hope.

Learning to Feel Safe in Your Body Again with Dr. Ashleigh Moreland (Part 1)

Learning can be tough for any child—but for kids with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia, school can feel especially overwhelming. Add anxiety to the mix, and both children and parents can feel lost about where to turn.

In this heartwarming and practical conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with Emily Fogg, founder of Wise Owl Education and a passionate teacher with over 15 years’ experience supporting neurodiverse students. Emily shares how she’s helping families navigate the education system, advocate for their children, and rebuild confidence and joy in learning.

Together, Jodi and Emily explore:
💡 What common learning differences really mean (and what they don’t)
💡 How anxiety often shows up alongside learning challenges
💡 Practical steps for parents who suspect their child may need extra support
💡 Why mental health must come before grades—and how confidence can transform learning

If you’re a parent, teacher, or carer of a child who learns differently—or you simply want to understand more about how we can make education more inclusive—this episode is a must-listen.

When School Feels Tough: How to Support Kids Who Learn Differently, with Emily Fogg

What if the barrier to better mental health isn't knowledge - it's actually doing something about it? Most of us know meditation and gratitude are good for us, but how many of us actually practice them daily?

In this honest conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson speaks with Cooper Chapman about the gap between knowing what helps and actually taking action. Cooper shares his personal journey from professional surfer to mental health advocate, shaped by early losses to suicide and his father's struggles with depression in an era of "toughen up" masculinity.

The conversation explores a deceptively simple question: Can we give just 1% of our day - 14 minute - to mental health? And more importantly, what would that actually look like in practice?

Key insights from this episode:
Why meditation isn't about being "good" at it - it's about showing up
The water bottle metaphor: understanding why your mind feels so busy when you first sit down
How to watch thoughts float by instead of getting swept away by them
The difference between responding and reacting in challenging moments
Five core values that support mental health: responsibility, gratitude, empathy, mindfulness, and kindness
Why connecting with nature and our senses matters more than we realize

Dr. Jodi shares a powerful personal story about empathy in a Woolworths checkout line that reminds us how regulation and mindfulness show up in everyday moments. The conversation also touches on eco-anxiety in young people, the importance of male mental health, and why making mental health "cool" matters.

This episode is for you if:
You've tried meditation and felt like you were "doing it wrong"
You know what helps but struggle with consistency
You're looking for practical, science-backed approaches that don't require hours of your day
You want to understand how to be more present in daily life

A refreshingly honest discussion about mental health that moves beyond awareness into actionable practices anyone can start today.
