The Psychology / Exercise Relationship with Api Taiapa

March 07, 2022 • Brad Domek • Season 1 • Episode 8

Today, our NZ-based EP Tessa Nielsen takes the mike to interview a good friend of hers - Api Taiapa - who works as an organisational psychologist in the Air Force in Blenheim, NZ.

Api gives us some great insight into his favourite areas of psychology, maintaining our mental health and how organisations can better support mental health in the fast-paced world we live in. They talk about how exercise compliments mental health, and conversely, how our psychology can impact on our sports performance. And of course, it's all brought back to the space we work in - how it applies in the return to work space, and what employers can be doing for their employees who have taken time off work due to mental health reasons.

We hope you enjoy it!
