with Lauren and Shanequa

Available for 24 days

Day three is all about managing emotions. We’re exploring what happens when your thoughts feel overwhelming – whether that’s anxiety, overthinking or just feeling like everything is piling up at once. Lauren & Shanequa look at coping strategies, how to open up about what you’re going through, and how to recognise whether what you’re doing is actually helping. In the second hour, we’re joined by panellist Amy Clark from Mental Health Matters. Amy will unpack what it really means when thoughts “get loud", how to spot the signs early, and why it can sometimes take a while to realise you’re overwhelmed. Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
