Best High Performance Podcast I've listened to. You made him feel comfortable and safe so he could open up. His honesty and authenticity will help many.
This was an amazing but heartbreaking episode.He talks a lot of sense.He speaks eloquently, and you can tell he's really intelligent.Its a shame he lacks confidence in himself.The way he talks about mental health is right.Everyone has mental health.Hopefully doing strictly will help him feel proud of what hes doing.As a viewer i think hes doing really well and hes progressing every week.He just needs to have more confidence in himself and believe in himself in my opinion.
Amazing interview. Pete your mum is still here ,have you ever thought it’s because of you. You are so lovely ,and I hope you find true love, because wow what a dad you would be 😘
A very uplifiting interview, I was very moved by parts of it and Pete's ability to have amazing insights that move him forward. I also found it ironic, as a counsellor myself, to hear Pete say that he didn't think counselling was for him, to see that this was an interview with a 'therapeutic approach', very skilfully handled by the interviewer, that resembled a counselling/therapy session in so many ways... and that he was generally comfortable with it. Thank you to both... it was lovely to listen and watch.
I found myself drawn to Pete on strictly… I didn’t see him in reality tv. I now trust my gut even more he’s a beautiful human being! Thank you Pete for your honest sharing.. ❤
Great guy.Would love to meet him.Go for coffee & chat more.(i love dogs too they are rather than humans)sending hugs.Would be great to go out for coffee. (Not that you probably can) ..take care . hugs .Dee
I have actually never heard of Pete before this but being a 48 year old male so much of this resonated. A really insightful conversation. I am only 15 minutes in and think wow so much of this is me.... there's so much in here....
He’s actually someone I wouldn’t of thought I’d like at all but he always comes across well and he surprises me every show I’ve seen him on seems like a down to earth nice person
You were completely right when you started by saying that people wouldn't always associate Pete with high performance BUT he was an EXCELLENT choice of guest, highly relatable and took so much from this conversation ( despite me being very different to Pete ). A very authentic and honest interview. THANK YOU
I wouldn’t say I disagree as such but when Pete spoke about not having a wife or children because he feels it’s I unfair or that he’s not in the right space, I met my now wife(of 1 month) while I was still at the tail end at what had been the lowest periods of my life over a couple of years from like 2018-20, meeting her was an amazing thing and it gave me a new lease of life, a reason to wake up everyday. When then had a daughter 2.5 years later and again she gave me a sense of purpose, a reason to become a better person, a reason to understand my feelings. Having a wife and children, for me anyway, is amazing and a great help. From attempted suicide twice 5 years ago to where I am today married and with a young daughter is an amazing sense of achievement.
It's brilliant how it worked out for you. I like the way he looks at this though. It's a really responsible stance to say that he's not in a space yet where he feels he can give himself in the way that he would want to, to a family as he's still working on himself.
The way Pete stops before talking about his Nan has me choking up with him. If something felt traumatic, it's trauma. I'm still learning this but what Pete said about no one having worse trauma than another, is so true. Trauma is relative. I often forget that every single person is going through this thing called life, and fuck it's hard. Pete, you are a gem and I hope people can start to see that. Jake, I watched you as a kid on TV and I'm so glad I've found this podcast now, this being the first episode I've seen. I would never have thought you were struggling back then, it just goes to show. Big love to this wonderful comments section 💖
Absolutely fantastic watch, I completely resonate with Pete and his soulmate being his Nan, I wish I’d told my Nan she was my soulmate before she died. I lost count of how many times we told each other how much we loved each other in those last days. 10 years on I miss her with every fibre of my being. I am as grief stricken now as I was then, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to process that loss. Pete is incredibly brave to share such a personal story and I absolutely adore him. Now time to hop over to Staying Relevant to catch this weeks pod!! 😊
Beautiful. Lovely explanation about anger and how it can manifest. We've been made to feel uncomfortable with anger as an emotion,but it's just as important as any other emotion to understand and allow yourself to feel, especially so that it doesn't become a problem. You are on the journey, Pete,and that is the hardest part. Congrats!❤
This was a wonderful watch , I love that people are now seeing and hearing THE REAL Peter James Johnathon Joseph Wicks IYKYK , Jake you brought out the best in both of you in this episode, and if you don’t “get it” check your toxic masculinity lads ❤
@@caroliner3988 I have edited the original post because I couldn’t sleep last night for thinking about it imagine Sam saw , I’d be shunned from the SR family 😂 xxx
Love Pete and a great interviewer. First time I have watched this podcast and will definately watch others. Although I didn’t have the childhood trauma like Pete things have happened in life since that has made what Pete was saying resonate with me too. He has a lovely personality and I love how he feels about his mum, nan and his dogs❤ I really hope he meets his person, when the time is right and it’s mean’t to be, so he has someone to share his life with and can make him realise “he is enough “ x
When parents divorce, a child grieves, but because they are still alive, but they don't see them, then the grief is never put to rest and it carries on, unlike someone who dies, the grief is eventually put to rest, not forgotten.
I saw a psychologist years ago and parents divorcing can absolutely be the catalyst for some bad mental health challenges and behaviours in response to the trauma. What alot of people don’t understand is, people handle trauma relatively the same but it’s what other tools and circumstance they have that is helpful to them. Support, therapy, their own makeup all plays a part. I love Pete wicks and therapy could benefit him massively I believe! He has all the right morals and beliefs behind his persona 😊
I've not listened to this podcast before but saw Pete's socials saying he was on it. Absolutely brilliant episode. Loved listening to this. Pete is so real and relatable in the way he talks about his mental health and thought processes. He is the same in his book.
I can relate to you thinking therapy won’t help you Pete. From my late teens when my mum and dad split I had to have control of my life. It wasn’t until I had a car accident in my mid 40’s and my inability to cope (always crying) that I was advised to go for therapy. It was through therapy that I realised my control issues (I lost them when I had the accident) were actually controlling my life and the therapy was like a lightbulb moment. Therapy will help but it’s getting the right therapist that’s the most important thing. Good luck on your journey 😊
Id just like to say, being in the situation where I was contemplating taking my own life, I convinced myself my very young children would be better off without me. Please never think u are not good enough for them to stay, that is probably not the head space they are in. I'm so pleased u found your mum Pete and she got the help she needed ❤ and remember you are her hero
Love Pete, Love this episode. I'm in therapy and have been for 18 months. It really has changed me as a human. Shame my loved ones can't see it. :-( It's defo a struggle when I'm so proud of myself and where I've come from. May therapy continue to be a way to keep my mental helath stable. Sufferer for 30 odd years. :-( no longer medicated just me and my therapist.
Pete you are a beautiful person xx believe in yourself!! My mom was my life too having children gave me away to channel my love not always but the love you are given by them unconditionally makes you realise your own self worth .doesn’t mean you don’t have dark timesxx you’re the most handsome intelligent honest hunk!! Whoever shares your life will and are the lucky ones x
I must say thank you. I took so much out of this podcast with regards the relationship I have with my son after my divorce and how it may have effected him and Pete's relationship with his Nan is how I would love my new Grandson to have the same relationship with me. A very powerful talk between two men about mental health that should be a must watch if anyone else is struggling.
What a top bloke. So much of what he said resonates with my approach to things, we are all so much more similar than we think yet when we struggle we often think we’re the only one struggling.
This was great, Pete has such wisdom and is such a lovely guy. I watched Jamie Laing interview him too, great interviews and wonderful people. Thank you ❤
I did not know Pete Wicks before this podcast. But this was absolutely an amazing episode. My grandmother was my soulmate and I've been saying that since I was a teen. Coincidentally, we were born on the same day and at the same time, only 50 years apart. But she was me and I was her and we understood each other. I got chills for 56:51 minutes straight. Loved it. Thanks, Pete, you're a great person, it's obvious.
So much respect for you opening up like this Pete. You’ve really helped me in such a bad time. So much love to you & I hope you recover from any negative feelings you may have ❤
Pete, this whole episode was like someone talking about my life. My stubbornness, my best friend (my nanny Doreen) my stubbornness. Rejection of therapy. I lost my nan in April and I miss her so much. I'm currently on dialysis for kidney failure and she and I would talk about everything. Mad stuff. I was 37 when she left, and I feel like some of her determination rubbed off on me. All I can say, is thank you for being "mostly" honest. You said a few things that really made me think. I really do hope you find your happiness. Because you do genuinely deserve it. All my love.
Simply the best was played at my Granddad’s funeral too. The way Pete speaks about the relationship with his nan reminds me of the relationship I had with my granddad. So special 54:46
Should be called brain health, we bang on about looking after our bodies excerise etc. Feelings trauma good times bad times talking is so important. 😊😊😊 Good Podcast👏 Therapy gives you tools to manage and live with more understanding of you.
I agree. His podcast with Sam Thompson is amazing and they’d be great on a tv show! Pete does have a documentary about dogs coming on soon, a ‘dogumentary’ if you will 😅
Really interesting and honest interview. The fact that he’s talking about his feelings/thoughts etc is a positive direction. Anyone who says they haven’t experienced mental health issues have either been very lucky or aren’t being honest with themselves. Well done Pete, stay strong 👍 Jake - where was your tattoo??
Love that man for his honesty and how he articulates things. I don’t really know him from much reality TV apart from The Jungle but have seen how he interacts with Sam and am so impressed, the impact he has on that man is massive and that speaks volumes of him.
Excellent interview and guest. I saw Pete on Strictly and had not seen any into on him having not watched the beginning of it. Each time I see him I get a sense of sadness and vulnerability about him, do when I saw this interview with him I watched it. It’s so good to hear men talk openly about their emotions and the subject of mental health in general. I had a 💡 moment when Pete talked about ending relationships because of self sabotage and being in control. That’s exactly what I used to do and I finally see the death of my Father probably lead me to do it. I felt abandoned so didn’t want someone to leave me! I feel quite emotional. Thank you for helping others work through stuff. Pete, you’d make a fantastic Husband snd a doting Dad ❤ Just subscribed 👍🏻
Every time Pete talks about certain aspects of his life, I relate so much, from the fact I have a parent with serious mental health struggles to the impact of the loss of my Nan, my response to what others tell me is trauma, anger, not doing relationships (in fact very much avoiding them), animals over people, giving advice but not following my own, I don't do therapy although I tried it but I just end up masking and don't show emotion so they think I'm fine, perfectionism and being so independent I think I can fix it all myself and don't need no help, literally like the male version of me. It's bizarre. Even the bit when the discussion of noises making people feel angry and how that is all part of mental health, I attribute that to my ADHD but it has worsened with the decline of my mental health so it is a good thing to recognise. Honestly, this was so helpful and I think many will be able to relate in some way.
I never watched TOWIE, so only know of Pete from bits and pieces he's done on TV but I've always liked him. I'm a 73 year old woman but am in tune with many of his thoughts and feelings - I prefer animals to people - I've always been fiercely independent - and as soon as I got close in a relationship, I backed off. Pete, if marriage and kids is what you want, please choose wisely but don't keep backing out and end up alone like I did. I think you are a lovely, sensitive, funny man and I wish I was 40 years younger! ❤😘
This is without doubt the best interview I have watched...Thank-you Pete Wicks for being open, honest & vulnerable ✨️💎💙✨️ Spoken such wise & intuitive words. You are on the path to healing. Much Love. Catherine. 💖 🇬🇧 xXx
What a great interview. I've always thought Pete was a lovely person. But it was lovely to listen to him. He was very articulate and i could resonate with a lot of what he said re mental health. It's different but the same for all of us
You will love having kids. Cos they live in the moment. And they help to heal you, sort of a chance for u to relive and put right ur own childhood. At the same time, terrifying, cos u have never will never love anybody as much as ur children.
wow i can relate to him. also he has abit of a know it all attitude which i also have but i have to try to remember i dont know everything and i have to be open and vunerable. i also think i can fix everything about myself on my own but i do think there's huge value in having someone to hash things through with that knows more than me.
Isn’t it crazy that Pete doesn’t realise how wonderful he is 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Oh wow that pic of Pete & his Nan caught me out at the end 😢🙏. I was also lucky to have my Nan as my best friend 🙏💔😢🌺.
Amazing ...that you don't always do did not feel relevant. YOU are ...The most understanding person around ..Its a about time that you looked at yourself...Liking you is easy ..NEVER have I said this to someone I don't really know .Your words are wise. Look after YOURSELF XOX Dee
I feel stupid writing this as I know he wont read it but anyway... Pete, please go to therapy. Therapy is not a therapist "fixing" you it's you "helping" yourself in a supported, emotionally safe environment. You seemed ashamed that therapy would mean someone else had taken that responsibility on for you. Its not like that - if you dont engage & do the work, then therapy will do nothing for you. Give it a try & release yourself from all that shame you're carrying & do not deserve. Your mum & nan would love that for you. You deserve better. Life is so much better (& easier) when youve done the work in therapy to help yourself. You dont need to open up on day 1 - itll build up. Just start. Good luck!
Wow , '' why can't a single mum raising three kids on her own be high performance ? ''. Go Pete ! My friend raised three boys alone and has educated herself, worked , the lot , and is the best person, yet , I see women who are not a patch doing better relationship wise when my friend she is pure class. Sometimes high performance is getting through life and retaining a smile and some hope amongst the f, ery . Very interesting to hear about Pete's childhood, it is so good and comforting to see this side of him. I relate to what he said about comparing trauma's. When your parents have issues, in the end , don't blame yourself, it is not about you. My mum committed suicide , it was never about me, but a bigger picture. Parents sometimes fumble through life. Treat people how you would like to be treated, then if they let you down because of their issues , you did your best , you did it ! Great interview.
My dad has tried to kill self so many times and was in a coma one time for 3 weeks . There's no help out there for mental health what so ever 😢😢 love Pete and his mum Tracey xx

I'm a 73 year old woman but am in tune with many of his thoughts and feelings - I prefer animals to people - I've always been fiercely independent - and as soon as I got close in a relationship, I backed off.
Pete, if marriage and kids is what you want, please choose wisely but don't keep backing out and end up alone like I did.
I think you are a lovely, sensitive, funny man and I wish I was 40 years younger! ❤😘
I'm not crying...you're crying. Very inspiring. I wish he liked himself more, because there's so much to like.
Best episode by you've done this one needs part2
Pete you would make a wonderful husband and dad. Your kids would idles you. Take care sending lots of love ❤
This is without doubt the best interview I have watched...Thank-you Pete Wicks for being open, honest & vulnerable ✨️💎💙✨️ Spoken such wise & intuitive words. You are on the path to healing. Much Love. Catherine. 💖 🇬🇧 xXx
What a great interview. I've always thought Pete was a lovely person. But it was lovely to listen to him. He was very articulate and i could resonate with a lot of what he said re mental health. It's different but the same for all of us
You will love having kids. Cos they live in the moment. And they help to heal you, sort of a chance for u to relive and put right ur own childhood. At the same time, terrifying, cos u have never will never love anybody as much as ur children.
So agree with you on dogs, through good and bad they give you unconditional love no matter what ….. my Bear is far better than people I know ♥️🐾♥️
Thanks guys ❤ it's a welcome thing in life right now
Brilliant conversation 😊. Pete makes so much sense. You both do ❤
Thanks Pete wicks and high performance, I came across this and thank you some of the things said really hit home for me .
wow i can relate to him. also he has abit of a know it all attitude which i also have but i have to try to remember i dont know everything and i have to be open and vunerable. i also think i can fix everything about myself on my own but i do think there's huge value in having someone to hash things through with that knows more than me.
Loved this. Pete is a walking stereotype. Learnt so much about myself from his openess ❤
F... who knew Peter the wise one, you have been got the tshirt for sure. Dark night of the soul and deep self reflecting.
This is the best interview I’ve ever watched 🥰
Isn’t it crazy that Pete doesn’t realise how wonderful he is 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Oh wow that pic of Pete & his Nan caught me out at the end 😢🙏. I was also lucky to have my Nan as my best friend 🙏💔😢🌺.
So good.Well done Pete.
Amazing ...that you don't always do did not feel relevant. YOU are ...The most understanding person around ..Its a about time that you looked at yourself...Liking you is easy ..NEVER have I said this to someone I don't really know .Your words are wise. Look after YOURSELF XOX Dee
This was an amazing episode and left me in tears ❤️
Pete Wicks. A boss bloke. Very humble and genuine ❣️x
Good interview great chat guys
I really needed to hear this this week ❤
I feel stupid writing this as I know he wont read it but anyway...
Pete, please go to therapy. Therapy is not a therapist "fixing" you it's you "helping" yourself in a supported, emotionally safe environment. You seemed ashamed that therapy would mean someone else had taken that responsibility on for you. Its not like that - if you dont engage & do the work, then therapy will do nothing for you. Give it a try & release yourself from all that shame you're carrying & do not deserve. Your mum & nan would love that for you. You deserve better. Life is so much better (& easier) when youve done the work in therapy to help yourself. You dont need to open up on day 1 - itll build up. Just start. Good luck!
For the love of Pete ❤
A great episode.
Pete’s a legend
I understand Pete everything your saying. I wish more people had your views.
Very familiar feelings great interview
Just Brilliant ❤
Love Pete well done on strictly ❤❤❤
Wow , '' why can't a single mum raising three kids on her own be high performance ? ''. Go Pete ! My friend raised three boys alone and has educated herself, worked , the lot , and is the best person, yet , I see women who are not a patch doing better relationship wise when my friend she is pure class. Sometimes high performance is getting through life and retaining a smile and some hope amongst the f, ery . Very interesting to hear about Pete's childhood, it is so good and comforting to see this side of him. I relate to what he said about comparing trauma's. When your parents have issues, in the end , don't blame yourself, it is not about you. My mum committed suicide , it was never about me, but a bigger picture. Parents sometimes fumble through life. Treat people how you would like to be treated, then if they let you down because of their issues , you did your best , you did it ! Great interview.
My dad has tried to kill self so many times and was in a coma one time for 3 weeks . There's no help out there for mental health what so ever 😢😢 love Pete and his mum Tracey xx
