About the series
Four live masterclasses to help you understand stress, navigate difficult moments and treat yourself with greater kindness.
This unique four-part webinar series with Owen O’Kane offers a practical, honest and refreshingly straightforward approach to supporting your mental wellbeing. Owen is known for his warm, direct and down-to-earth style. There is no jargon, no judgement and no toxic positivity — each session offers practical tools, honest conversation and space to reflect on how you are really doing.
Across the four masterclasses, Owen explores challenges many of us experience throughout the year, from recognising stress and burnout to managing the pressures of Christmas, navigating the January slump and quietening our inner critic. These sessions are for anyone who wants to better understand mental health and gain practical tools to look after their own mental health or support the wellbeing of others.
Four topics. One series. A chance to put yourself first.
Whether you attend one masterclass or the full series, you will receive access to the recording — download it and watch at a time that suits you, or revisit the session afterwards.
THE MENTAL WELLBEING SERIES AT A GLANCE
Choose your sessions
Each session is a 75-minute live session with Owen, held over lunchtime from 12:30 to 13:45, giving you an opportunity to step away from the working day and spend some time focusing on yourself. Book individually, or save with the full series.
Recognising Stress and Burnout
What self-care actually looks like
Opening the series during National Self-Care Week, this masterclass explores how to recognise the early warning signs of stress — what Owen calls “fatigue signposting” — before they develop into burnout, and what meaningful, sustainable self-care actually involves.
- Recognise the early signs of stress before they tip into burnout
- Explore Owen’s daily self-care needs list and identify what you may be missing
- Learn “Two to Zen”, Owen’s two-minute emergency reset technique
- Develop a shared language for the rest of the series
Coping at Christmas
When you’re not feeling it but everyone else seems to be
Christmas often comes with an unspoken script: be cheerful, relaxed and surrounded by loved ones. This masterclass explores the “ego mask” we wear when hiding how we really feel, and offers practical ways to calm the threat response and step out of anxiety loops.
- Understand anxiety as a habit loop rather than a personality flaw
- Learn Owen’s technique for calming the threat response
- Give yourself permission not to perform being fine
- Recognise why comparing your Christmas with others’ can make things harder
New Year Reset
Not another ‘new year, new you’ overhaul
January can bring pressure to change everything at once, often when energy is at its lowest. Drawing on ideas from Addicted to Anxiety, Owen offers a more grounded alternative: honest acceptance of where you are, and routines for moving forwards at a manageable pace.
- Understand how stress works in clear, everyday language
- Learn practical strategies for slowing down and doing less
- Use Owen’s pause–prioritise–proceed process on urgent or overwhelming days
- Practise a simple noticing exercise to support you through to March
Why We Love to Hate Ourselves
Self-criticism, self-worth and the inner voice that never quite lets up
Self-criticism can feel like the truth, but it is often an old protective habit. Drawing on Owen’s ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ framework from his new book, this masterclass offers a more compassionate way to understand your inner critic and develop a gentler, more supportive inner voice.
- Recognise self-criticism as an old habit rather than the truth
- Explore Owen’s ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ framework
- Use the ‘dinner party’ exercise to understand different parts of yourself
- Develop a kinder internal voice to carry forwards
