Flynn’s Talk

Jesse Greenwood is our special guest this week, he's a psychologist with Headspace - an organisation dedicated to the mental health of young people - and is the son of two vets. Jesse shares a unique insight into what it was like growing up 'out the back' of an animal hospital, the challenges it presented for him & his family and his pathway to helping others with their mental health in his professional life today.

Megan Barrow has lived with anxiety for most of her life, and at her worst, couldn't get off the couch or even contemplate leaving the house. Megan is now an R U OK? Ambassador and volunteers her time to help others with their own mental health journey. She shares her story and some tips and practical ways you can help yourself or others who might be struggling. In this episode we do chat about some heavy stuff. Please remember, if you or anyone you know are experiencing a crisis there is always help available.

What's better than two podcast hosts you ask? Four! Jack & Jeremy are joined by Dr Lewis Kirkham & Dr Robbie Anderton from the 'Two Vets Talk Pets' podcast. We jump into the wonderful world of pets, what life is like as a veterinarian during the 'COVID era' and have a go at answering the tough question: why do dogs smell each other's bottoms? It's equal parts fun, silly & serious, with a sprinkling of focused conversation thrown in. Be sure to subscribe so you know when new episodes have dropped!
