      JCIP #323 - Darren Lawrence
      Jan 16 2026
      In episode 323 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Darren Lawrence. Darren is a qualified life coach and the Founder of Front Foot Coaching. In Darren’s words, 'Front Foot Coaching is about helping you to get onto the front foot’. Darren predominantly works with middle-aged men, a demographic which is often forgotten about in the mental health space. Darren’s journey didn’t start in life coaching. For 17 years, he worked in large sports organisations including Sport England and The FA at regional and national levels. Interspersed within that time he gained some experience in a local authority and smaller organisations in a variety of senior roles, including CEO. He began to realise his passion for helping people was of equal level to his passion in sport, so in 2016 he enrolled on The Coaching Academy's Diploma for Personal Performance Coaching, which he qualified in, in 2017. Since then, he has taken up life coaching full-time and become self-employed, with all the highs and lows that come with that working life too. In this episode, we discuss this professional journey, from sport to life coaching and everything in-between. We then discuss the work he does specifically for middle-aged men, the issues he supports them with and the reality of the life coaching sector more widely. For Darren’s mental health journey, we discuss the precarious nature of being self-employed and the importance of having a growth mindset.

      JCIP #321 - Meg Skinner
      Jan 9 2026
      In episode 321 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Meg Skinner. Meg is a communications professional and currently works as Deputy Director of Communications at Barts Health NHS Trust, where our Founder Freddie worked in her team from December 2020 to August 2022. Barts manages five East London hospitals, including The Royal London, St Bartholomew’s, Newham University Hospital, Mile End Hospital and Whipps Cross Hospital. When it comes to Meg’s career, she started with a university degree in Psychology, and always had a desire to work with people in some way, shape or form. After meeting someone who worked in marketing, it piqued her interest and she then completed a Masters degree in marketing and communication. From there she embarked on her communications career. In this episode we chart that career, which includes working in a carer’s organisation, her NHS career, a period travelling, joining Barts Health and her drive and ambition which has got her to this point. We then discuss the Covid-19 pandemic and her experience of it, and we give you an insight into the things she saw, and how it changed her forever. Across Meg’s career and her personal life, we also discuss her use of coaches to support her career and shape that journey, which includes confidence issues she has always had to some degree. We finish by discussing how important her family, friends and colleagues have been in supporting her mental health.
