A straight talking podcast for teens and young adults who want real answers to their mental health questions.
Each episode tackles a real thought, belief, or struggle—like feeling not good enough, stuck in bad habits, overwhelmed by guilt, or unsure how to set boundaries. We break it down, explore what’s really going on underneath, and offer practical tools to help you move forward.
At the heart of Headstraight are four key themes:
At the heart of Headstraight are four key themes:
1. Self-Awareness: Understanding your emotions, recognising patterns, and learning more about who you are—so you can grow instead of staying stuck.
2. Taking Responsibility: Not about blame—this is about taking charge of your choices and your direction. We explore how personal responsibility builds strength and freedom.
3. Effective Communication: Learning how to speak up, feel heard, and connect better—whether it’s with friends, family, or professionals.
4. Making Change: Real change takes more than willpower. We talk about habit shifts, emotional setbacks, motivation, and how to make changes that last.
How the podcast works:
Each episode starts with a question or belief that might feel familiar. We unpack what’s behind it, how it affects your mental health, and what you can do to take back control. No therapy speak. No filters. Just straight talk and real tools.
