It's Good 2 Talk

Quick challenge for you today.

Next time you ask someone how they are… ask twice.

Most of us do the first one automatically.

“How are you?”
“Yeah I’m fine.”

Conversation over.

But try this…

Ask again.

“Are you really fine?”

And then do the bit most people skip.

Listen.

Not the polite nod.
Not waiting for your turn to speak.

Actually listen.

Because behind a lot of “I’m fine” there’s tiredness.
Stress.
Loneliness.
Stuff people are carrying quietly.

Sometimes people don’t need fixing.
They just need someone to notice.

Try it today.

Ask twice.
Listen once.

Let me know in the comments if you try it and what happens.

Men’s Group – Tonight

If life is feeling heavy…
If you’re stressed, low, overwhelmed, or just carrying a lot quietly —
If you feel like you want me from life and not sure where to start
this space might be exactly what you need.

There’s no pressure to be anything other than yourself here.
No fixing. No labels. No judgement.
Just real people, real conversation, and space to breathe.

Tonight, It’s Good 2 Talk men’s group meets upstairs at Kash 22.

Everyone is welcome.
Left, right, somewhere in between — it doesn’t matter.
We’re all human.

What to expect

• Non-judgemental
• Friendly
• Safe space to talk
• Trustworthy
• Welcoming
• No pressure to speak

We start around 7pm and finish around 9pm,
but you’re welcome to arrive anytime in that window.

If you’re nervous about coming along — that’s completely normal.
Most people feel that way before their first time.
Often, gently pushing past that feeling is the first step toward something lighter.

Someone will be around from around 6. 30pm if you’d like to come early for a quiet chat.

Where & when we meet

We meet twice a month here in the Propaganda Room at Kash 22 — on the first and last Thursday of the month.

With thanks

We couldn’t do what we do without the support of local champions who truly get it.

A huge thank you to:
• Kash 22
• No. 5 The Barbers
• Helter Skelter
• Tributes On The Hill

Your support helps keep these spaces open. Thank you 💚

Most people don’t struggle because they’re “too sensitive.”

They struggle because they’ve spent years saying yes when they meant no.

Answering messages when they’re exhausted.
Showing up for everyone else.
Carrying other people’s expectations.

And slowly… their energy disappears.

Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away.

They’re about protecting your energy.
Protecting your peace.
Protecting the version of you that deserves to live a healthy life.

The truth is, most of us were never taught how to set them.

But learning to say “no”, taking space when you need it, and choosing yourself sometimes…

isn’t selfish.

It’s healthy.

And it might be one of the most important things you ever learn.

Have you ever struggled with setting boundaries?

I’ve just closed the GoFundMe.

Yesterday I set a small target of £125 to cover the cost of registering itsgd2tk as a Community Interest Company (CIC). This morning the total stands at £225 — 180% of the target.

I’m genuinely humbled.

Some people gave publicly, others chose to do so quietly, but every single donation means a lot. What it shows me is that this hasn’t just been something I’ve been trying to build on my own — it’s something people believe in.

For the last four years itsgd2tk has been about creating spaces where people can talk honestly and not feel alone. Men’s groups, free drop-ins, community events and countless conversations that most people never see but that genuinely matter.

This support now allows us to take the next step and make it official.

I’ve closed the fundraiser this morning. The funds take a few days to clear, and as soon as they arrive I’ll submit the registration to formally create itsgd2tk CIC. I’ll share confirmation once that’s done.

The original target covered the registration cost, and any additional funds raised will go towards the first year’s compliance and administrative costs that come with running a CIC, helping ensure everything is done properly and transparently.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared, encouraged or simply believed in what we’re trying to do.

This has always been for the people, by the people — and yesterday proved that in a very real way.

Four years ago, I started itsgd2tk with a simple belief:

That people need spaces where they can talk honestly and not feel alone.

Since then we’ve run weekly drop-ins, men’s groups, charity events, a music festival, and supported countless real conversations that genuinely mattered.

No funding.
No salaries.
Just community.

Now it’s time to take the next step.

To grow responsibly and apply for grants that keep sessions free, itsgd2tk needs to register as a Community Interest Company (CIC).

The government registration and identity verification cost is £115.

We’re raising £125 to cover that and platform fees.

That’s it.

If itsgd2tk has ever supported you, encouraged you, or made a difference in your life, or you believe in what we do and needs to be done— this is your chance to be part of its foundation.

This has always been for the people, by the people.

Let’s build the next chapter together.

Did you know being grateful is actually good for us?

When you stop and think about what you’re grateful for, your brain releases chemicals linked to positive mood and regulation. It gives both your mind and body a bit of a lift — sometimes exactly when you need it.

So with that in mind, comment below with something or someone you’re grateful for today.

Let’s put something good in the comments.
Let’s face it, most of us could do with that right now.

If you’ve been feeling more anxious lately, this is for you.

Here are 3 ways to deal with anxiety when it hits —
and 3 simple things you can do to stop it building in the first place.

First, when it shows up in the moment:

4-4-6 breathing.
In for 4.
Hold for 4.
Out for 6.

That longer exhale is important. It tells your body you’re not in danger.
Do it properly for a minute or two. Not one rushed breath.

Bring yourself back into your body.
Feel your feet on the floor.
Drop your shoulders.
Unclench your jaw.

Anxiety pulls you up into your head. These small physical resets bring you back down.

Narrow your focus.
Don’t solve your whole life.
Don’t jump six months ahead.
Just ask: what’s in front of me right now?

Then, proactively — if you want fewer spikes in the first place:

Reduce the input.
Notice what consistently winds you up and lower the dose. Not forever. Just intentionally.

Protect your evenings.
Late scrolling + tired brain = heightened anxiety.
Create some space before sleep.

Move your body daily.
It doesn’t need to be extreme. A walk. Stretching. Fresh air.
Your nervous system was built to discharge stress through movement.

Try one today. See if it helps.

Feel free to save it, or share for someone else who might need it.
