Have a Cuppa Unmasked: Recent Episodes
Helena Mitchell
A podcast all about beating the stigma of invisible illnesses, through talking about the different types of invisible illnesses and how they affect people on a day to day basis.
Imagine it's 2012 and you have a breakdown. You are exhausted of constantly trying to be what others want to you be and you can't move for 3 hours. Fast forward less than 10 years and you are an inspirational speaker and coach helping thousands of people on big stages discover and tell their story.
It sounds unbelievable, but it's a true story, it's Nick Elston's story.
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, yet we are more likely to go to the gym than spend time working on our mind.
Life is tough and it can be super tough to open up and be your true authentic self all the time. But you know what ? You can and you will do it. How ? Well, listen to this podcast to find out all.
If you have mental health worries, want help with understanding your mental health or simply want to learn how to find and tell your story then look no further. Please get in touch with Nick via his website:

Or reach out to me. As you know my dm's are always open.
Sit back grab a cuppa and remember spread love and joy not stigma.
Having a chronic condition is hard.
Being employed with a chronic condition is hard.
Being self employed with a chronic condition is hard.
So how do we take our individual circumstance and not let it take control of our lives and our future?
Listen to Ross Owen Williams tell us how to master your condition and learn to live with it not die from it.
Discrimination still happens every day, so take control today.
Ross has not had it easy from being told he had 12 hours to live as a 21 year old to living with Ulcerative Colitis and becoming a pro wrestler. Author, screen writer, actor and business genius Ross has now been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It's tough, but so are we.

Let's talk jokes...
Society loves to joke at other people's expense. Whether it's because they feel uncomfortable or they want to feel cool whatever it is it might be funny to you, but it's not funny to the person who's life it affects.
As we all start to head out of lockdown let's take a moment to be mindful of others. Support and respect people's decisions to continue shield or run for freedom out their door. Whatever they decide is up to them. Why? Because life is complicated full of so many layers that the world doesn't see and that's it. It's their life so let them do it their way.
Getting a diagnosis can be the best and worst moment. It's a complicated mixture of emotion. It doesn't mean you're a freak or you can't do things, it just means there is an added layer to your life, your personality, your journey.
But hey it's ok because we have amazing people like Erin Judge providing us with tips and tricks on what to ask our doctors and more importantly how to take back control of our life.
So sit back, grab a cuppa and be inspired by Erin's personal journey with IBS.

Stay present and ignore your inner critic ... it's difficult right?
You can often be left feeling broken, secluded and like an alien in this world.
Well that's ok many of us feel this way, especially during the current world situation. But it doesn't mean you have to accept feeling this way.
Discover how to own your life with today's podcast guest Natalia. A mental health advocate, yoga and meditation teacher who overcame the negatives to inspire and help others just like her with their mental health journey.
Doctors can't tell you everything about the day to day life of living with a mental health condition. That's why it's so important to educate yourself and others, connect with groups, listen to podcasts and talk openly. We should never be ashamed of who we are or the challenges we face, so let's come together and help each other. Surely that's a more fulfilling way to live right?

“This isn’t me!”
- Ever felt like a shell of yourself?
- Looked in the mirror and didn’t recognise the person looking back?
- Ever been at war with yourself, wanting to progress forward, but fear is holding you back?
When the perfect storm hits we go into survival mode and we are the first to beat ourselves up, but we have a choice on how we treat ourselves, so let’s be brave and start being kind to ourselves. Stop being your own inner judge, stop comparing your backstage to everyone else’s on stage appearance.
Tell fear and self doubt to take a long walk off a short plank and get back in that drivers seat today!
Asking for help is one of the simplest yet “hardest and most important first step to take”
Step away from “comparisionitus” and get inspired with today’s podcast guest Michelle Reeves, Certified life/business coach and author of ‘Happiness Habits Transformation’ as she opens up about her journey with post natal depression, going from running teams and managing budgets to flying half way across the world and not being able to function.

So here is an honest account of where I'm at right now and some tips and tricks on how to check in with yourself mentally as well as physically to make sure you are looking after all of yourself in this current time.

Hello and welcome back to 'Have a Cuppa Unmasked' a podcast all about beating the stigma of invisible illnesses TOGETHER.
In this episode I talk to established voiceover artist Alexia Kombou about her journey with Colitis disease.
Alexia openly talks about the condition, how it affected her nearly 10 years ago compared to how it affects her now and of course about the stigma surrounding the invisible illness, how important it is that we fight it together and what she does to cope.

Hello and welcome to 'Have a Cuppa Unmasked'
This episode is all about why I created 'Have a Cuppa Unmasked' and what I hope to achieve from it.
I set up this podcast as I myself suffer from various invisible illnesses such as Lupus and am fed up with the stigma surrounding invisible illnesses. I initially set up a Vlog documenting my experience and journey with stigma and Lupus via my youtube channel 'Helena's Health Hike', but then decided it wasn't enough. I understand I wont be able to eliminate the stigma by myself, but I had to try. So I set up this podcast as a way of discussing the stigma surrounding invisible illnesses with other people who also have an invisible illness. By sharing our experiences, not only are we raising awareness of invisible illnesses but we are TOGETHER beating the stigma surrounding it.
I hope this podcast brings comfort to those who are suffering and awareness to those that do not understand. Please be king, educate yourself and support each other. The world is better when we work together.
