Look how bloody happy I am!

NOT!

When this picture was taken, I think I was probably at my peak of self medication and scraping the barrel for a bit of normalcy and calm in my life.

I was over-worked, completely exhausted and my answer to everything was ‘fuck it’.

It was only a few months after this photo that I drastically changed my life and decided to get my PT qualification.
It was always my intention to continue to work in hospitality, but from a different angle.

I want to make a difference in the way people carry themselves - so I had to sort my shit out and start setting the right example!

This month, I want to focus on the use of the word ‘awareness’ in Mental Health Awareness Month.

It wasn’t until I had hindsight that I realised how unhappy I was. So now I...

✅ Make the effort to check in with myself and ask if I am happy and ok.

✅ Make myself AWARE of how I feel.
And if it feels wrong, change it...

Only I can change it after all.
We are all in control of how we feel.
We can allow ourselves to be the biggest, baddest and sexiest version of ourselves.

So lets get it! 💥

Sharing Our Process ....

It’s mental health awareness month! (it is for us every month) So the @soletstalk___ team have decided to share our process with you all on here, in the hope you get some value from them!

We’re starting with @paddyhowley:

*potentially triggering content*

How we doing people! So these photos and videos right here I found in the depths of my photo album on my phone! As I scrolled through the images and videos, I got a little bit emotional....

There’s a running theme here and that’s an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, recreational drug use, over working, lack of sleep, experiencing ill mental health, poor nutrition... the list goes on!

The sad thing is that I thought this was ‘the norm’, and that it was just ‘part of working in the trade’.

In 2019 after 14 years of destructive habits, I got to breaking point, I had to leave the industry and make a decision to prioritise my health!

I worked out I’d spent 65% of my salary on drugs and alcohol that year.

I decided to attend an AA meeting and work out if I was an addict or not (it turned out to be an unhealthy relationship). So I decided to go sober for a year (turned out to be 17 months). I reconnected with what made me happy and during that period I had the idea to set up @soletstalk___

So what’s the message? We know through the work we do at @soletstalk___ the conversations we have and the stats that are out there that hospitality isn’t, on the whole, a healthy industry to work in.

My story isn’t a ‘one off’, it’s actually pretty ‘normal’ and that’s what we are looking to CHANGE! We’re here to create an identity change for the whole industry with your help.

It starts with serving yourself first before you serve others.

✅Check in on your friends and loved ones.

✅Prioritise your health over everything.

✅Reach out if your experiencing ill mental, physical or financial health.

✅Be a part of the CHANGE.

Our website is being updated at the moment! We’ll have a page dedicated to amazing organisations you can reach out to for support very soon.

Send us a message if you’d like to know more about the work we do at @soletstalk___ 🙌🏼💯

Big love everyone ❤️

So how’s this ‘new normal’ going?

So, we’ve been back open for a little bit now and we wanted to check in and see if this ‘new normal’ that was going round during lockdown is a thing?

How’s it been since you reopened?!

Let us know in the comments 🙌🏼💯

“NO THAT DOESN’T WORK FOR ME” ‘We work i

“NO THAT DOESN’T WORK FOR ME”

‘We work in a yes culture’ is a statement our team heard a lot whilst working in hospitality.

Although this may make the guest happy it may be at the detriment of you and your team.

‘The customer is always right’ is archaic and simply not true.

Have you ever found yourself saying yes to your manager when it comes down to working more hours / coming in your day off in the fear saying no may look bad on you?

SAY NO!! Serve yourself before you serve others (it’ll only help you bring your best self to everything you do)

Part of the change we are aiming to make at @soletstalk___ is prioritising our health and a part of that is learning to say “NO”

What have you said ‘YES’ to recently you wish you hadn’t?

Big love you lot ❤️

Alfresco Meetings ☀️

For the first time in over a year (some of) our team got to meet up for our “building the future” Monday morning call!

Being able to connect with each other in person whilst eating food at @ezraandgil was an absolute TREAT!!

Not only that @goodgoodgraffiti was just across the way at @nohomcr working on our murals (take a gander at last weeks posts to see what we created) 😍

During these meetings we discuss what’s going on at SLT and how we can move forward to support the hospitality industry! These lot are relentlessly evolving our offering to bring you the support you want (not the support we think you need) 💯

What’s your favourite hospitality venue to work from? Tag the venues below 🙌🏼

Big love ❤️
