The incident that led Jacob to 6 years in prison It made headlines - and it could have been worse for all involved, but this was a moment born from years of trauma that was never understood 💔 @jacobcharlesthomas now uses his experience to help the new generation by coaching young men in prisons Full episode available now on all platforms 🎙️🎙️🎙️ #thetalkingtradesman #letstalk #knifecrime #offender #rehabilitation
This one hits deep… Adopted at 4 months old from Paraguay. Told his parents died in a car crash. At 18, Jacob went back searching for answers… Only to be told the exact same story. No family. No truth. Just a dead end. But it wasn’t real. Years later, everything he believed about his past started to unravel… And with it came the question that’s followed him ever since: Who am I, really? This is more than a story about adoption. It’s about identity, truth, and what happens when the foundation you were given isn’t real. Full episode with Jacob Butchoff @Jacob Charles Thomas drops tonight at 8pm on all platforms. #Identity #AdoptionStory #TruthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #PodcastUK
Iv sat on this clip for a few weeks now….why, because it’s still a painful subject and it’s one I rarely talk about - because despite knowing that vulnerability is strength, it’s not easy for me. But during my conversation with @Therapy with Max she talked about how as a hypnotherapist she could help people remove traumatic images from their mind. I’ll admit…I was sceptical, but as soon as she said that - one image came to me, one that’s haunted me for years. So….live on the podcast we did it & I have to say, I don’t know how…but it worked & weeks later I still can’t bring that image back So thankyou @maxine2buckley 💚 Check out the full episode, where we discuss the benefits of hypnotherapy and how it all works live now on all platforms 🎙️ #thetalkingtradesman #letstalk #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #hypnotherapist
This might be the most important reel I’ve ever posted… because it could genuinely save lives. I’ve just relaunched the Talking Tradesman website. And at the heart of it is something that’s been needed for a long time… A completely free mental health resource hub. This isn’t just a page with a few links thrown on it. It’s a proper, structured hub built to help you figure out where to turn when things aren’t right. • Access to trusted mental health organisations • Crisis support contacts when it matters most • A simple check-in tool to help you understand what you’re dealing with • Clear direction so you’re not stuck wondering what to do next And it’s not just for the trades. It’s for anyone who’s struggling. Because the truth is… a lot of people don’t reach out, not because they don’t want to… but because they don’t know where to start. If this helps even one person take that first step, it’s done its job. Now I need your help. If you’re seeing this, please share it or tag someone. Not for me… but because someone in your circle might need this and won’t ask for it. There’s now somewhere to turn. Let’s make sure people know it’s there. #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionIndustry #TalkingTradesman #BreakTheSilence #MensMentalHealth
“That’s my missus.” Imagine hearing people talk about your partner like that… Not knowing she’s the one grafting beside you every day. In this clip, Jack opens up about the comments Lucy has faced on site… And it says a lot about the culture that still exists in parts of this industry. @Thomas & Co Let’s be clear. Women don’t step onto site to be judged, commented on, or disrespected. They’re there to do a job. Same as anyone else. And the reality? Women still only make up around 15% of the UK construction workforce, and even less on the tools So when they do show up, they deserve respect. Full stop. This conversation matters. Because change doesn’t happen by ignoring it. 🎧 Full episode with Jack & Lucy from Thomas & Co Joinery is out now on all platforms. #ConstructionLife #WomenInConstruction #Tradespeople #OnTheTools #PodcastClip
“They said if you don’t do well at school… you won’t do well in life.” That’s the script a lot of people are still being fed. In this clip, Jack from Thomas & Co Joinery breaks that wide open. He didn’t thrive in school. Lucy did. @Thomas & Co Fast forward to now? Same table. Same business. Same level. Both grafting. Both winning. So maybe the problem isn’t the people… Maybe it’s a system that still undervalues hands-on skills and pushes the trades as a “backup plan” instead of what it really is, a solid, respected career path. We’ve got it backwards. This one matters. 🎙️ Full episode with Jack & Lucy is out now on all platforms. #ConstructionLife #SkilledTrades #Apprenticeships #MindsetMatters #TalkingTradesman
Most of us are walking around as a version of ourselves that was built by other people. Parents. School. Society. The trade. The expectations. Then one day you wake up and realise… half of it isn’t even you. That’s where the real work starts. Unlearning. Questioning. Rebuilding. Not becoming someone new… but finally becoming who you actually are. If you’re in that phase right now, you’re not lost. You’re just waking up. #selfdevelopment #mindsetshift #personalgrowth #mentalhealthmatters #constructionlife
People still do it without even thinking. Lucy @Thomas & Co turns up to quote a job… and the assumption is she’s just there to price it up, not actually do the work. “Can you tell the joiner when they come?” “Yeah… that’s me.” That moment says everything. This isn’t about playing the victim. It’s about calling out the quiet, everyday bias that still exists in the trades. Lucy didn’t ask for special treatment… just the same respect as anyone else holding the tools. And the truth is, once she’s on the job, the work speaks for itself. Full episode with Lucy from Thomas & Co Joinery is now live on all platforms. #WomenInTrades #JoineryLife #BreakingStereotypes #Tradespeople #ConstructionLife
Lucy from Thomas & Co Joinery doesn’t want to be known as a female joiner… She just wants to be known as a good joiner. Not judged by gender. Not boxed in by stereotypes. Just respected for her skill, her work, and the standard she delivers. In this clip, she opens up about breaking into a male-dominated trade, pushing back against society’s expectations, and why sometimes you’ve just got to keep a stiff upper lip and prove people wrong through your actions. This one hits hard because it’s real. And it’s happening every day across the trades. Full episode with Lucy & Jack from @Thomas & Co drops tomorrow at 6am on all platforms 🎙️ #WomenInTrades #ConstructionLife #Joinery #BreakingStereotypes #Tradespeople
Your thoughts shape your reality… whether you realise it or not. What you focus on, you become. What you repeat, you believe. What you believe… drives everything. Protect your mind. Feed it better. Because the life you’re living right now… started with a thought #MindsetMatters #MentalStrength #SelfAwareness #GrowthMindset #MensMentalHealth
It’s Easter Sunday. A day that means different things to different people… but for many, it’s about reflection, purpose, and belief. In this clip, Dave Smith @David / MINDSETSOLDIER opens up about his faith, and how finding God gave him something he was missing after everything he’d been through. Not perfection. Not being better than anyone else. Just trying to be a better man… and live more like Christ. For Dave, it wasn’t about religion. It was about finding something to hold onto when everything else felt lost. And for a lot of people, that’s where purpose starts.

It’s easy to look back and judge past decisions with today’s perspective. But the truth is, you were making the best choices you could with what you knew at the time. Growth isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about learning, adapting, and moving forward with more awareness. There’s value in every misstep — if you’re willing to take the lesson from it. Self-awareness is powerful. But self-forgiveness is what allows you to actually grow. #thetalkingtradesmanpodcast #thetalkingtradesman #knowledge #growth #mindset
This one’s not an easy listen… ⚠️ Graphic content warning In this clip, Dave Smith @David / MINDSETSOLDIER recounts the moment his friend was shot in the neck by a sniper… and how, in the chaos that followed, instinct and quick thinking helped save his life. It’s raw. It’s vivid. And it’s a reminder of just how real those moments are for the people who’ve lived them. Not every story gets told like this. This is taken from my full conversation with Dave on The Talking Tradesman Podcast — available now on all platforms. #MindsetSoldier #VeteranStories #RealTalk #MentalHealthAwareness #PodcastClip
⚠️ Viewer discretion advised – graphic war description He watched his best friend get shot… The bullet went clean through his head. Somehow… he survived. In this clip, Dave Smith @David / MINDSETSOLDIER recounts one of the most intense moments of his life in the military — dragging his mate to safety, being credited with saving him… …but carrying the weight of “that should’ve been me” ever since. This is what survivor’s guilt really looks like. Raw. Unfiltered. Real. Full episode is available now on all platforms. #MentalHealthMatters #VeteranStories #Mindset #RealTalk #PodcastClip
He came back from war… and no one was there. Not his family. Not his friends. No “welcome home.” Just silence. This is the reality for some veterans coming back from active service… trying to carry loss, trauma, and memories most people will never understand. In this moment, Dave Smith @David / MINDSETSOLDIER (The Mindset Soldier) opens up about what that really feels like. This one’s heavy… but it matters. Full episode is live now. #fyp #mentalhealth #military #ptsd #real
Tomorrow’s episode is one of the rawest Iv recorded. I sat down with Dave Smith… @David / MINDSETSOLDIER and this isn’t your typical “mindset” conversation. We’re talking about a man who went from 👉 growing up in the care system 👉 experiencing abuse and homelessness 👉 serving in Afghanistan and being recognised for saving a life under fire 👉 battling PTSD and suicidal thoughts …to now building a huge following helping others develop what he calls a “bulletproof mindset.” No fluff. No motivation quotes. Just real talk about trauma, discipline, accountability… and what it actually takes to rebuild yourself when life’s hit hard. This one goes deep. Proper deep. Episode drops tomorrow at 6AM ⏰ Trust me… you don’t want to miss this. #MindsetMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #PodcastUK #MensMentalHealth #SelfDevelopment
Most people think healing trauma means reliving it… But what if you didn’t have to? In this clip, hypnotherapist Maxine Buckley @maxine2buckley explains how hypnotherapy can help move trauma out of the emotional part of the brain… and into the rational side — where it loses its grip. No digging up the past. No re-traumatising yourself. Just a different way to process it. This one’s a powerful listen. 🎙️ Full episode is out now on all platforms. #MentalHealth #Hypnotherapy #TraumaHealing #ConstructionLife #TalkingTradesman
Sometimes it’s not about work… it’s about having something to look forward to. Too many people in the trade spend their days grafting, head down, dealing with stress on their own.

Is Cadair Idris actually better than Snowdon… or am I chatting nonsense? 🏔️ Less crowds. No train. Feels like a real climb. Snowdon’s iconic, yeah… but it’s busy, predictable — and half the time you’re queuing at the top. Cadair Idris? Quiet. Rugged. Proper switch-off. And honestly… getting out on mountains like this does more for your head than most things. No noise. No stress. Just you and the climb. If you’ve done both… you know the score 👀 👇 Which one are you picking — and why? #CadairIdris #Snowdon #MentalHealthMatters #NatureHeals #UKHiking
You don’t always have to rip the lid off the past to start feeling better. In this clip, hypnotherapist Maxine Buckley explains how hypnotherapy and emotional detox can help you reframe trauma… without dragging yourself back through it. For a lot of lads in the trades, that’s the sticking point. “It means talking about everything…” “It means going back there…” But what if it didn’t? This is about moving forward, not reopening wounds. If you’ve been putting it off because you don’t want to relive it… this might be the angle that actually works. Full episode with Maxine Buckley is available now on all platforms. #MentalHealthMatters #TradesmenTalk #Hypnotherapy #MensMentalHealth #ConstructionLife
Most people think hypnotherapy is all swinging watches and losing control… It’s not. In this clip with Maxine Buckley @maxine2buckley ,we get into how hypnotherapy can actually help you detach from traumatic images, ease emotional triggers, and release the weight that sticks after tough experiences. Not a magic fix. But another option. One that’s helping a lot of people take back control of their own mind. And yeah… I even got hypnotised live on the podcast 😅 If you’ve ever struggled with thoughts, memories, or feelings you can’t quite shake — this one’s worth a watch.
