Hosted by Andy Griffiths, Iona Russell, Ian Young, and Ann Stewart from Piece of Mind Therapy & Mental Health Training, the podcast explores the messy, emotional, funny, and deeply human parts of life that most people quietly struggle with. From anxiety, burnout, relationships, and people pleasing… to identity, healing, self doubt, and figuring out who you actually are beneath the noise nothing is off limits. Some episodes are reflective. Some are hilarious. Some hit harder than expected. But every conversation is real, unscripted, and grounded in lived experience, professional insight, and genuine curiosity about why we think, feel, and behave the way we do. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, healing, or just trying to make sense of life, Tickety Boo is a reminder that you're not the only one figuring it out as you go. 🎧 New episodes every week on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube.Tickety Boo 2020 Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • 115 - The Small Choices That Quietly Shape Your Life
    Jun 29 2026

    Your life probably isn't changing because of one big decision.

    It's changing because of hundreds of tiny ones.

    The people you spend time with.
    The things you tolerate.
    The conversations you keep having.
    The environment you live in.
    The habits you repeat without even noticing.

    In this episode of Tickety Boo, we explore how the smallest choices often have the biggest impact on the direction of your life.

    We talk about:

    • Why we underestimate the power of tiny daily decisions
    • How the people around us quietly shape who we become
    • The hidden cost of tolerating things that don't sit right with us
    • Why your environment influences your thinking more than you realise
    • And how choosing not to make a decision is often a decision in itself

    It's easy to believe life changes overnight.

    The reality?

    Most change happens so gradually that you don't notice it until you look back.

    If you've been wondering why you feel stuck, this episode might help you see that it isn't one massive thing holding you back—it's the little things you've stopped noticing.

  • 114 - The Wellness Trap: When an App Knows More About You Than You Do
    Jun 22 2026

    We've got apps tracking our sleep.

    Apps tracking our steps.

    Apps tracking our stress, our heart rate, our mood, our breathing, and probably our ability to remember where we left the car keys.

    But here's the question:

    Have we stopped trusting ourselves?

    In this episode of Tickety Boo, we dive into the modern wellness industry and the growing obsession with measuring everything.

    We talk about:

    • Why so many of us need a watch or an app to tell us how we're feeling
    • When self-awareness becomes self-monitoring
    • The pressure to optimise every part of life
    • Whether wellness is helping us or making us more anxious
    • And why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop tracking and start listening

    At one point Andy points out that his nan managed to live a pretty good life without a sleep score, recovery score, readiness score, hydration reminder, mindfulness notification, or a smartwatch telling her she'd had a stressful Tuesday.

    And somehow... she coped.

    This episode is funny, thought-provoking, and asks an important question:

    Are we becoming more connected to ourselves... or more dependent on being told how we feel?

  • 113 - Are You Happy? (And Do You Even Know What That Means?)
    Jun 15 2026

    This card-pull episode started with a deceptively simple question:

    "Are you happy?"

    Easy question.
    Not so easy to answer.

    What followed was a surprisingly honest conversation about happiness, expectations, and whether we're all chasing something we haven't properly defined.

    In this episode of Tickety Boo, we explore:

    • What happiness actually means to different people
    • Whether we're supposed to be happy all the time
    • Why so many people spend their lives chasing happiness without knowing what it looks like
    • The difference between happiness, contentment, fulfilment, and peace
    • And how easy it is to overlook the things that genuinely bring us joy

    Because maybe the better question isn't:

    "Am I happy?"

    Maybe it's:

    "Do I even know what happiness means to me?"

    This is one of those conversations that starts off simple and ends up somewhere much deeper.

    If you've ever found yourself wondering why achieving more, buying more, or doing more hasn't quite delivered what you hoped it would, this episode is for you.
