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

Author: Adam Collins & Adam Harvey February 26, 2025 Duration: 1:03:50

On this week's episode the team discuss current personal experiences of sleep deprivation; approaching burnout and how to deal with it and magical modern hearing aid technology.

Plans are underway for the BadCo Ball on 13th September. Tickets onsale on the 1st April. It's gonna be a banger.

There's chat about tractor runs, a half marathon and a 50k walk giving much needed cash to BadCo. Adam C regales us with the amusing drama of the coffee shop trailer (a tale of woe and ultimate redemption surely worth the purchase of a coffee next time you see the coffee trailer out and about)

The main topic of conversation is stress buckets- what they are and the functions they serve. It's a goodun.

Then there's obviously 3 stonking rants.

We hope you enjoy the show.


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.
