Send us a text

In this soul-stirring episode of Sexcess, I sit down with Simon Pollard, founder of the mental health charity Slow the Mind, to explore the healing power of nature, authenticity, and radical self-awareness.

Simon shares his personal journey through alcoholism, anxiety, and transformation - revealing how the decision to stop drinking led to unexpected inner peace and clarity. We unpack the vital role of meaningful human connection, why nature is one of the most overlooked mental health tools, and how slowing down can lead to real, sustainable change.

This conversation dives deep into the reality of modern mental health challenges and the magic that unfolds when we reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

🔥 Topics we cover:

• Why Simon’s charity is taking mental health support on the road (literally, in a bus!)
• How nature impacts our nervous system and mindset
• The importance of slowing down to make powerful choices
• Simon’s raw and honest story of addiction and healing
• The difference between reacting and responding to life

This episode is a gentle reminder that you always have a choice, and that mental health isn't just about crisis - it's about consistent, conscious living.

🎧 Press play and let’s slow the mind, reconnect with purpose, and ignite a new perspective on wellness.
