A podcast showcasing a range of health and wellbeing practitioners from Yorkshire has launched in time for lockdown to help those recovering from a range of mental health problems as well as supporting local businesses.

The Pandemic has highlighted many mental health issues amongst a wide range of people. Uncertain times, a range of challenges and a lot of people struggling at the same time, has been detrimental to most people’s mental health.

But it has also been a time of reflection and people have been reaching out for new therapies and treatments as well as a range of health professionals now diversifying their services by offering it online, making it more accessible for people.

But how do we find the right mental health help in such a crowded wellbeing market?

n order to help people begin on their recovery journey and to save people time on researching and exploring the array of offerings, Recovery Road podcast was born.

Founded and presented by mental health author and self-love coach Sophie Mei Lan who has been on her own rollercoaster recovery ride, wants Recovery Road to help educate, inspire and to feature the wide range of alternative, complementary and traditional therapies there are available as she meets experts on her own discovery journey.

Sophie 32, who is far down her own road of recovery from self-harm, addictions and an eating disorder, says on the show: “Let’s go on a healing journey together as we try out a range of therapies, treatments and techniques to help us on our way to live a stronger healthier life full of smiles and sparkles.

“I’ll be finding out what works and what flops when it comes to feeling strong in mind, body and soul. I’ve been on my own rollercoaster recovery journey from self-harm to self-love.

Last week on Recovery Road presenter Sophie, met the two relationship experts behind Channel 4's Married at First Sight who have been dubbed “the avengers of Matchmaking. They talk about all things mental health recovery and the power of relationships, how to meet the right person and what to look out for in a positive relationship.

Forensic and Relationship Psychologist Dr Angela Smith and transformational empowerment coach, dating & relationship expert Genevieve Gresset share their tips on the first episode of Recovery Road.

“Recovery Road is non-judgemental and we listen with an open mind and chat about a range of issues to help everyone who strives to succeed in mind, body, home, life and at work."

On this week’s episode Sophie talks about “work” that works to help our mental health and wellbeing with popular online influencer and Mum Boss author Vicki Broadbent who is originally from Leeds.

Recovery Road by Sophie Mei Lan is available now on Apple podcasts, Spotify and all major podcasting platforms. You can listen direct by going to https//:mamamei.co.uk or https://recoveryroad.buzzsprout.com
