EP003: Special guest SJ Hudson - Local Childrens Author

This week Keds & Liz talk to SJ Hudson who's launching her first children's book next week on Friday the 13th of November.

The ‘Lion who Longed for Spots’ is a rhyming story promoting self-belief and emotional well-being. It follows an adorable young lion cub, named Lottie. Lottie has doubts about her appearance and opts to confide in her mum about the way she is feeling. Together they venture into the savannah on a journey to improve the way Lottie feels about herself. By confiding in someone she trusts, Lottie can begin believing in the cub she really is.

Kedren Elliott

My name is Kedren, yes Kedren (my name is a bit strange, like myself).

I'm currently finishing my final year's training to become a counsellor and work at North Staffs Mind.
I'm also someone who has struggled with my mental health and lived with friends and family who have also faced challenges.

Through the happiness hub, I really want to help as many people as I can to find ways to live happier. It doesn't have to be complicated, there are little things we can do every day to help with our mental health and feel happier.

So that's a bit about me, but you can find out more by listening to our Hub Podcast!

Liz Parkin

I'm Liz, Kedren's podcasting side-kick, close friend and gin-buddy for over 10 years.

My mental health challenges started in my early teens and continued through a rather traumatic year in 2004.

It was at this point that I discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which quite literally changed my life - or maybe my perception on life...

In this podcast I will share with you some of the tips and techniques that I learned whilst training for my NLP Practitioner and then Master Practitioner over 14 years ago. NLP got me through some very dark times and given me a bag of mindset tools and strategies to help me keep my mental health, well... healthy!
