Steve reflects on his incredible 40-year career in mental health nursing – from what first inspired him to train as an RMN, to how the profession has evolved over the years.

The conversation then shifts to a topic close to all of our hearts: stress awareness. Together, the trio explore the pressures of working in healthcare, how stress manifests differently for everyone, and the practical coping mechanisms that can really make a difference.

Whether you’re in the healthcare field or simply navigating a stressful period, this episode is packed with honesty, insight, and heart.
