Series 3 Episode 4: Sound effects, Standing up and Stress Buckets.

It all started with a conversation between friends at a Crossfit gym in rural Dorset. The REALLY BaD Mental Health Podcast is the ongoing result, a space where Adam Collins, Adam Harvey, and Lisa Cooper continue talking with the same raw honesty that began it all. They’re not clinical experts, but three people committed to breaking down stigma by sharing the unvarnished ups and downs of their own lives. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair to a candid conversation among friends who aren’t afraid to laugh, get frustrated, or be vulnerable. You’ll hear how mental health intertwines with everything from business pressures and fitness goals to the simple act of navigating daily life, reflecting the podcast’s broad roots. This genuine dialogue grew naturally from Adam and Adam's initial drive to establish a not-for-profit, evolving into a shared journey documented through audio. Tuning in means listening in on real stories about resilience, setbacks, and the small victories, all discussed with a refreshing lack of pretense. It’s a podcast built on the belief that open talk among friends can make a difficult topic feel more approachable for everyone.
